Sutras 31-331
Soul ३१. विशुद्धि-क्षेत्र-स्वामि-विषयमेदादवभिन्नः । 31. visuddhi-ksetra-svāmi-visayabhedad avadher bhinmah.
(Aph.) It (viz. mind-reading) is different from the clairvoyance on a ccount of its difference in respect of purity, scope, knowing subject and content. (XXXI)
(Note) Visuddhi (purity) is that quality of the soul which makes possible the knowledge of a multitude of specific characters. The mind-reading takes cognizance of a large number of details than the clairvoyance (avadhi). The clairvoyance raised to prefection embraces the whole world whereas the mind-reading is limited to the abode of human beings. The clairvoyance is possible in all the four states of existence, that is to say, all the four kinds of beings-men, gods, animals and the denizens in hells. The mind-reading, on the other hand, is possible only for selfrestrained persons. Vişaya (the object) of clairvoyance consists of all the material objects possessed of colour and shape, whereas that of mind-reading is limited to an infinitesimal part of the substances known by the former. ३२. निखिलद्रव्यपर्यायसाक्षात्कारि केवलम् । 32. nikhiladravyaparyāyasākşātkāri kevalam.
(Aph ) That which directly cognizes all the substances with all their modes is omniscience (pure and perfect knowledge). (XXXII) ३३. मति-श्रुत-विभंगा मिथ्यात्वसाहचर्यादज्ञानम् ।
विभंगों'ऽवधिस्थानीयः। मिथ्यात्विनां ज्ञानावरणक्षयोपशमजन्योऽपि. बोधो मिथ्यात्वसहचारित्वादज्ञानमुच्यते' । तथा चागमः'
