________________ Niyamasāra नियमसार The knowledge, independent of the senses and all external objects, is the natural-knowledge (svabhāvajñāna) - omniscience (kevalajñāna). unnatural-knowledge (vibhāvajñāna) is of two kinds: right-knowledge (samyagjñāna) and wrong-knowledge (mithyājñāna). The unnatural (vibhāva) right-knowledge (samyagjñāna) has four subdivisions: 1) sensory knowledge - matijñāna, 2) scriptural knowledge – śrutajñāna, 3) clairvoyance - avadhijñāna, and 4) telepathy - manaḥparyayajñāna. The unnatural (vibhāva) wrong-knowledge (mithyājñāna) has three subdivisions: 1) wrong sensory knowledge - kumati, 2) wrong scriptural knowledge-kuśruta, and 3) wrong clairvoyance-kuavadhi. Similarly, perception-cognition (darśanopayoga) is of two kinds: natural (svabhāva) and unnatural (vibhāva). Perception-cognition (darśanopayoga) which is independent of the senses and the external objects is called the natural-perception-cognition (svabhāva-darśanopayoga); this is also called kevaladarśana. Based on the cause and the effect, it is of two kinds: the cause-natural-perception-cognition (kāraņa-svabhāvadarśanopayoga) and the effect-natural-perception-cognition (kāryasvabhāva-darśanopayoga). The states of existence that are the result of the karmic influence on the soul are the unnatural-modes (vibhāva-paryāya). The states of existence free from the karmic influence are called the natural-modes (svabhāvaparyāya). From the standpoint-of-substance - dravyārthika naya - the soul (jiva) is different from the modes (paryāya), but from the standpoint-of-modes - paryāyārthika naya - the soul is one with the modes. The soul is known by these two standpoints. 2. The Non-soul 375anfecht The matter (pudgala dravya), the medium of motion (dharma dravya), the medium of rest (adharma dravya), the space (ākāśa dravya) and the time (kāla dravya) are the five non-soul (ajīva) substances. The substance (dravya) comprising matter (pudgala) has two divisions: the atoms (aņu or paramāņu) and the molecules (skandha). The molecules (skandha) have six classifications and the atoms (anu or paramānu) have two classifications. (xxviii)
