मनःपर्ययश्च द्विविध ऋजुविपुलमतीति ऋजुमतिस्त्रिविधा । ऋजुमनोवचने काये गतार्थविषया इति नियमेन ॥ ४३६ ॥
439. And mental knowledge is of two kinds, simple (mental knowledge Rijumati), and complex (mental knowledge Vipulamati). Simple is of 3 kinds necessarily, (as knowing) subject matters of the simple activity of mind, speech and body (of others).
विउलमदीयि छद्धा उजुगाणुजुवयणकायचित्तगयं । अत्थं जादि जम्हा सद्दत्थगया हु ताणत्था ॥ ४४० ॥ विपुलमतिरपि च षोढा ऋजुगानृजुवचनकायचित्तगतम् । अर्थं जानाति यस्मात् शब्दार्थं गता हि तेषामर्थाः ॥ ४४० ॥
440. And complex (Vipulamati) (is) of six kinds, as knowing the subject matter of the simple and complex (activity) of body, mind, and speech ( of others ). And (all six kinds) are stimulated by question, or (by look) at any part (of the questioner).
Commentary.
A saint comes to know when any body who has forgotten what he had thought of or done before, questions him about the matter or is simply present, and wishes to know the same.
तियकालविसयरूविं चिंतिंतं वट्टमाणजीवेण ।
उजु मदिणाणं जाणदि भूभविस्सं च विउलमदी ॥ ४४१ ॥ त्रिकालविषयरूपि चिन्तितं वर्तमानजीवेन ।
ऋजुमतिज्ञानं जानाति भूतभविष्यच्च विपुलमतिः ॥ ४४१ ॥
441. Simple mental knowledge knows the material objects of (all) the three times (past, present and future), thought of by (any) soul in the present. Complex (mental knowledge) knows also what (has been thought of) in the past and (will be thought of) in the future.
Commentary.
Simple mental knowledge directly sees the thing upon which the mind of another is exercised in the present. For example, a man is thinking of establishing a library. Simple mental knowledge
