________________ प्रवचनसार clairvoyance (avadhijñāna) as their eyes, and the Liberated Souls (the Siddha) have omnipresent eyes. Explanatory Note: The worldly souls are enveloped by ignorance. They are, therefore, rid of knowledge about the pure soul and are deluded in regard to external objects. They do not have the sense-independent eye that can see everything; only the Supreme Liberated Soul (the Siddha) has such an eye. The ascetic (muni, sramana) who treads the path that leads to the status of the Liberated Soul (the Siddha) has the Scripture, the Doctrine of Lord Jina, as his eye. He determines the nature of the self and the non-self with this eye – the Scripture. Although the object-ofknowledge (jñeya) and the knowledge (jñāna) become one, the ascetic discriminates between these as per their individual marks (laksana) with the help of the Scripture. With the strength of this discrimination he is able to conquer his staunch enemy, delusion (moha). He then attains the pure-soul and gets established forever in infinite knowledge. It is for this reason that the ascetic (muni, śramaņa), treading the path to liberation, sees only through the eye of the Scripture. सव्वे आगमसिद्धा अत्था गुणपज्जएहिं चित्तेहिं । जाणंति आगमेण हि पेच्छित्ता ते वि ते समणा ॥3-35॥ सर्वे आगमसिद्धा अर्था गुणपर्यायश्चित्रैः । जानन्त्यागमेन हि दृष्टवा तानपि ते श्रमणाः ॥3-35॥ सामान्यार्थ - [सर्वे अर्थाः ] सभी जीव, अजीवादि पदार्थ हैं वे [चित्रैः] नाना प्रकार के [ गुणपर्यायैः ] गुण-पर्यायों से [ आगमसिद्धाः] सिद्धान्त में सिद्ध हैं [तान् अपि ] गुण-पर्यायों सहित उन पदार्थों को भी [ ते श्रमणाः ] वे मोक्षमार्गी ........................ 293
