________________ 112 nastika or atheist'' P. 298 Mrs. Sinclair's "The Heart of Jainisin." An additional reason for the feeling is that put in Indian languages the term "atheist" connotes not inerely non-belief in creative divinity but also non-belief in merit, demerit, other world, transmigration etc. According to Panini, Patanjali, and others. ___परलाके : अस्ति इति मतियेषांत आस्तिका : the contrary being नास्तिका :॥ ___NorE No. 42. यस्य निखिलाश्च दोषा न सन्ति सर्वे गुणाश्च विद्यन्ते । ब्रह्मा वा विष्णुर्वा हरो जिनो वा नमस्तस्मै ॥ हरिभद्रसूरि :॥ संवज्ञो जितरागादिदोषस्खलाक्यपूजित : यथास्थितार्थवादी च देवोहन परभेश्वर : ॥ ४ ॥ द्वितीयाः प्रकाश : श्री हेमचंद्राचाय कृत योग शास्त्रे ॥ अंतगयदानलाभवीयभोगोपभोगगा : । हासो रत्यरती भीतिजुगुप्सा शोक, एवच ॥ १ ॥ कामो मिथ्यात्वमज्ञानं निद्रा चाविरातस्तथा । रागाद्वेषश्च नो दोषास्तेषामष्टादशाऽप्यमी ॥ २ ॥ पृ. ४-५ जैन तत्त्वादर्श.
