METAPHYSICS : XV B. RIGHT KNOWLEDGE
63
reference to vyañjana, or [intermediating] sensation, sense-knowledge is of only one kind, the avagraha (or perception) kind. This is never manifested in the case of the eye or the mind. Therefore it can only be of 4 x 12 (the twelve classes above referred to) = 48 kinds.
Thus the total kinds of sense-knowledge are 288 + 48 = 336.
Sruta-jñāna, or study-knowledge, is of two kindsscriptural and non-scriptural. The scriptural means knowledge derived from the study of the Jaina Scriptures, i.e. the Twelve Angas (see Appendix V). Non-scriptural is knowledge that is derived from outside the Angas.
Avadhi-jñāna, or knowledge of the remote, is of two kinds : (1) innate, as in the case of angels in Heaven or fallen ones in Hell; (2) acquired, by the precipitation or annihilation of karmic matter. The former is called bhava-pratyaya, and the latterkshayopasama-nimittaka. This latter is acquired by men and animals, and is of six kinds
1. Anūnugāmika, limited to a particular locality, j.e. outside those limits the man loses this faculty.
2. Anugāmiku, not limited to any locality.
3. Hīyamānu, knowledge of the remote, comprehending innumerable worlds, seas, continents, etc., becomes less and less, till it reaches the minimum.
4. Vardhamānaka, acquired from very slight beginnings; it goes on increasing. It is the converse of hīyamāna.
5. Anavasthita, unsteady, so that it fluctuates. according to circumstances.
