prthagnayāh mitnah paksa -
pratipaksakadarthitā) 1 samavrttiḥ sukhāsvādī
___jnani sarvanayasritah || 2 ।। ।। 250 ।। Meaning : All the view-points taken separately suffer mutually from refutation and counter refutation. The wise perso:1, enjoying the taste of happiness due to equanimity, (ultimately) depends on all the view -- points. (2) 250]
Notes : To adopt one particular view-point and reject the other is to land one's ownself into trouble. One should be equanimous. Compare :
अन्योन्यपक्षप्रतिपक्षभावाद्यथा परे मत्सरिणः प्रवादाः । नयानशेषानविशेषमिच्छन् न पक्षपाती समयस्तथा ते ।। ( 2 ) [ 250] नाप्रमाणं प्रमाणं वा सर्वमप्यविशेषितम् । विशेषितं प्रमाणं स्यादति सर्वनयज्ञता ॥३॥ ॥२५१॥ näpramānam pramānam vā
sarvamapyavisesitami višeșitam pramānam syăd
___iti sarvanayajnata || 3 ।। ।। 251 ।। Meaning : If the statements are absolute, they are neither exclusively authoritative, nor exclusively unauthoritative. But if the statement is relative, it is authoritative. This is called the ( real) knowledge of all view-points ( Nayas). (3) [ 251 ]
Notes : This is corroborated by the following sloka :तत्रापि न च द्वेषः कायों विषयस्तु यत्नतो मृग्यः ।।
तस्यापि न सद्वचनं सर्वं यत् प्रवचनादन्यत् ।। (षोडशकः, लोकः - १६, १३) 'उपदेशमाला' also states the same thing :
अपरिच्छियसुयनिहस्स केवलमभिन्नसुत्तचारिस्स । सव्वुज्जमेण वि कयं अन्नाणतवे बहु पडई ।। (गाथा - ४१५ ) (3) [251]
