EXPLANATORY NOTES
Verse No. 174. Explanation : 1) Not to say two different things about the same matter at two different times or to two persons is an example of the first truth. 2) Not to delude another about who one is, by putting on a different dress is an example of the second truth. 3) Not to speak a lie or a harsh word to another is an example of the third truth. 4) Not to think ill of someone is an example of the fourth truth.
Verse No. 201. Explanation : Anekānta - vāda of Nayavāda or Sỹadvāda is a very distinctive contribution of the Jains in understanding a thing completely from all view - points. Thus it helps considerably in garnering the usefulness from all things. The interested reader should see 1) Pramāṇanayatattvāloka of Pūjya Ācārya Śrī Ādidevasūri 2) Syādvādamañajarī of Pūjya Ācārya Śrī Mallisena 3) Sammatitarka of Śrī Siddhasena Divākara.
Verse No. 203. Explanation : This tremendously detailed classification of the Jiva Substance is not a mathematical gymnastic for the Jains. To them a complete, exhaustive and well rounded understanding of this Substance from all angles is imperative because the cornerstone of their Dharma(religion) is the protection and non-killing of the various types of Jīvas. Secondly, among the eight meditations - the route for excellence to Mokșa is the Dhyāna of various Substances and Concepts of Reality. For these two reasons an extensively detailed exposition of the Jīva Substance is given in many Jain scriptures such as Jīva Vicāra of Pūjya Ācārya Śrī śāntisūri, Karma-Grantha of Pūjya Acārya Sri Devendrasūri, Jīvābhigama - Pannavaņā, which is condensed in the thirteen verses from 190/202.
