11 - THE SUPREME ESSENTIAL
निश्चयपरमावश्यक अधिकार वचनविवाद वर्जने योग्य है - Shun verbal confrontation - णाणाजीवा णाणाकम्मं णाणाविहं हवे लद्धी । तम्हा वयणविवादं सगपरसमएहिं वज्जिज्जो ॥१५६॥
नाना प्रकार के जीव हैं, नाना प्रकार का कर्म है और नाना प्रकार की लब्धि है, इसलिये स्वसमयों (स्वधर्मियों) और परसमयों (परधर्मियों) के साथ वचनविवाद वर्जनीय है - छोड़ने के योग्य है।
There are various kinds of souls (jīva), various kinds of karmas, and various kinds of attainments (labdhi); verbal confrontation with others, irrespective of whether they follow the same or the different faith, should, therefore, be avoided.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
As illustrations, the souls (īva) are of various kinds: liberated (mukta) and transmigrating (samsārī); potential (bhavya) and non-potential (abhavya); sthāvara and trasa. Karmas are of various kinds: materialkarma (dravyakarma), psychic-karma (bhāvakarma), and quasikarma (nokarma); eight primary-types (mulaprakrti) and one hundred and forty-eight secondary-types (uttaraprakrti); on the basis of their intensity and mildness. Attainment (labdhi), again, is of various kinds: attainment of favourable-time (kālalabdhi), access to right discourse (deśanālabdhi), purity of thought-activity with destruction-cum-subsidence of karmas (viSuddhilabdhi), ability to attain the first right-belief (prayogyalabdhi), and ability to rise to advanced spiritual stages (karaṇalabdhi). As the kinds of subject matter of discussion are numerous, verbal confrontation with others is futile.
