________________ Q.1.26.7 A.I.26.7 How mind-based and scriptural knowledge can know substances like dharma etc? Give examples. They know the non concrete substances by their characteristics like dharma supports movement / motion of j va and matter; adharma help these in their coming to a halt and rest; space occupied by these i.e. j va and matter is provided by space and the changes like old and new are provided by time. Thus mind-based and scriptural knowledge knows the modes of these substances like the modes of water are its waves in the ocean. ********* : fi "oo/K% 1.27 R pisvavadheh VFk% Meaning: "vof/kKku' dh i pfŪk : ih i nkFkkd es gksh gA The scope of clairvoyance is the object that has form.
