________________ Philosophy As Criticism - I 23 Pravacanasāra, II. 8 24 Commentary on Pravacanasāra, II. 8 (Cited in Matilal, Op. Cit., p. 8) 25 Tattvärthasara, V.4 26 See the present author's Outlines of Jainism, 1973, pp. 133-144 for a more elaborate treatment. 27 See Padmarajaiah, Op. Cit., p. 28 Siddhasena, Sanmati-tarka, I. 28 29 K.K.Dixit, Jaina Ontology, Ahmedabad: L.D. Institute of Indology, 1971, p. 90 30 Ibid. 31 Op. Cit., Vol. I, pp. 76-77 32 Another meaning of this expression is "Teleological Stand point,” but in our context we can gloss over it. Our main interest here being metaphysics and the problems discussed under this sub-division of philosophy, we shall confine our attention to the problem of Universal alone here." 33 Padmarajaiah, Op. Cit., p. 310 34 Vadidevasūri's commentary, Syädvādaratnākara, on Pramāṇanayatattvälokālankāra, VII. 13 (Cited in Padmarajiah, Ibid., p. 316.) See also Tattvārıha- Śloka-väritika, 51, p. 270 35 Vinaya Vijaya, Naya-karnikā. 6 (Cited in Padmarajiah Ibid.) 36 Sanmati-tarka, III. 48 37 Pramānanayatattvālokālankāra, VII. 16 (Cited in Padmarajiah, Ibid., p. 317) 38 Ibid., VII. 26 (Cited in Ibid., p. 318) 39 It is significant to note that despite the fact that Jaina philo sophers accorded an important place to change in their theory of Reality, they were not hesitant to take up issues with the Buddhists on the count that Reality has the dynamic as well as static aspects integrated in its structure.
