THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
देशावधश्च अवरं नरतिरश्चि भवति संयते वरम् । परमावधिः सर्वावधिः चरमशरीरस्य विरतस्य ॥ ३७४ ॥
374. The minimum of partial visual (knowledge) is (acquired by merit) by human and sub-human beings; the maximum, by the self-controlled (Sanyami saints).
___High-visual (Parmā-vadhi) and Full-visual (Sarva. vadhi) (knowledge rise only) in vowful (saints) in their last incarnation.
पडिवादी देसोही अप्पडिवादी हवंति सेसा ओ। मिच्छत्तं अविरमणं ण य पडिवजंति चारमदुगे॥ ३७५ ॥ प्रतिपाती देशावधिः अप्रतिपातिनौ भवतः शेषौ अहो । मिथ्यात्वमविरमणं न च प्रतिपद्यन्ते चरमद्विके ॥ ३७५ ॥
375. Well! partial visual (knowledge is) fallible (Pratipáti), the remaining two are in-fallible (Apràtipátí). (Souls having the) last two kinds (of visual knowledge) cannot have wrong belief or vowlessness.
दव्वं खेत्तं कालं भावं पडिरूवि जाणदे ओही। अवरादुक्कस्सोत्ति य वियप्परहिदो दु सव्वोही ॥ ३७६ ॥ द्रव्यं क्षेत्रं कालं भावं प्रतिरूपि जानीते अवधिः । अवरादुत्कृष्ट इति च विकल्परहितस्तु सर्वावधिः ॥ ३७६ ॥
376. Visual (knowledge) from its minimum to its maximum, in respect of its subject matter, (Dravya), scope (Kshetra), Time (Kala) and condition (Bhiva) knows (only) material (objects). And the Full Visual knowledge is free from the distinctions of minimum and maximum).
Commentary. Matter alone can be the object of visual knowledge. Soul mixed up with matter, namely all mundane souls, are also, therefore, knowable by it.
णोकम्मुरालसंचं मज्झिमजोगोज्जियं सविस्सचयं । लोयविभत्तं जाणदि अवरोही दव्वदो णियमा॥३७७॥ .
