Lord Mahavira
i.e. acting, a commanding, consenting, either in the past or the present or the future.
This means the pleasure in external objects.
Khuddaganiyanthijjam
Kshullakanirgranthiyam. Kshullaka originally means 'small, young,' but I do not see that the contents of this lecture support this translation, though the commentators would seem to favour it.
Devendra here quotes the following Sanskrit verse: Kalatranigadam dattvana samtushtah prajapatih bhuyo-py apatyarup ena dadati galasrinkhalam. The creator was not satisfied when he had given (to man) the wife as a fetter, he added a chain round his neck in the form of children.
Sapehae pase = svaprekshaya pasyet, he should look at it with his mind or reflectively. The meaning is the same in both cases.
Some MSS. insert here the following verse: 'Movables and immovables, corn, and furniture can not deliver a man from pain, who is suffering for his deeds.' Avariyam vidittanam. The commentator makes this out to mean by learning only what right conduct (akarikam) is, without living up to it. But it is obvious that the author intends a censure upon the Jnanamarga. (Path of Knowledge) As usual this phrase means: one should conduct one's self so as to commit no sin.
There is a pun in the original on the word patta, which means plumes (patra) and almsbowl (Patra).
This is usually called Mati, and is placed before sruta. The same enumeration recurs in XXXIII, 4, p. 193. Umasvati in Moksha Sutra I, 14, gives the following synonyms of mati; smriti, kinta, abhinibodha.
Manananam.
Dravya, guna, paryaya (pajjava in Jaina Prakrit), Guna, quality, is generally not admitted by the Jainas as a separate category, see Silanka's refutation of the Vaiseshika doctrines at the end of his comments on Sutrakritanga, I; 12 (Bombay edition, p. 482).
They are frequently called astikayas, or realities.
It is here called nabhas instead of Akasa.
Avagaha. 40 Vartana. 41 Upayoga.
Singleness (ekatva) makes thing appear as one thin, separateness (prithaktva) as different from others.
Sahasamuiya = svavamsamudita. It is usually rendered sahasammati. Asravasamvara, see above verse 14, 6 and 7.
A khadmastha is one who has not yet obtained Kevala, or the highest knowledge; he is in the two gunasthanas (the fourteen stages in the development of the soul from the lowest to the highest) characterised as 1. upasantamoha, and 2. kshinamoha; viz. 1. that in which delusion is only temporarily separated from the soul. and 2. that in which delusion finally destroyed.
Bahira; apparently the same works are intended which are elsewhere called anangapravishta.
The original has the singular.
The seven nayas are 'points of view or principles with reference to which certain judgments are arrived at or arrangements made.' Bhandarkar, Report, p. 112. Pravakana.
E.g. that of Kapila, &c. Comm.
