Madhyasthatā
87 Notes : तुच्छाग्रह means useless insistence; obstinacy. Haribhadrasūri has very well described 33ret and पक्षपातरहित in the following Sloka :
आग्रही बत निनीषति युक्तिं तत्र यत्र मतिरस्य निविष्टा । पक्षपातरहितस्य तु युक्तिर्यत्र तत्र मतिरेति निवेषम् ।। ( अष्टक ) (2) [122] नयेषु स्वार्थसत्येषु मोघेषु परचालने । समशीलं मनो यस्य स मध्यस्थो महामुनिः ॥३॥ ॥१२३॥
nayesu svārthasatyeşu
mogheşu parcālane i samasilam mano yasya
sa madhyastho mahāmuniḥ 11311 1112311 Meaning : That monk whose mind is even or equanimous is a great and neutral monk as he takes all the viewpoints to be true from their own point of view and untrue from other points of view. (3) [123]
Notes : Every Naya is true so far as its own statement is concerned but it becomes untrue when it undertakes upon itself to disprove what is stated by the other.
मोघ means futile. Compare : नियनियवयणिज्जसच्चा सम्वनया परवियालणे मोहा । ते पुण ण दिट्ठसमओ विभयइ सच्चे व अलिए वा ।। (सन्मति तर्क- कां. १ गा. २८ ) (3) [123]
स्वस्वकर्मकृतावेशाः स्वस्वकर्मभुजो नराः। न रागं नापि च द्वेषं मध्यस्थस्तेषु गच्छति ॥४॥ ॥१२४॥
svasvakarmakrtāvešāh
svasvakarmabhujo narāḥ 1 na rāgam nāpica dvesam
madhyasthasteşu gacchati 11411 1112411
