goes on acting incessantly till it attains salvation and it obviously means that they fall in the group of Kriyavadi philosophies. The proposition should not be challanged by any one. In very unambigous terms. it has been clearly declared just at the outset-first lecture of the first chapter of the first book of the first (& the foremost too) canon "Acharanga" (the name itself suggests prime importance of action) से आयावादी, लोगावादी, कम्मावादी, किरियावादी and with reference to the setting as well as literally, the term Kriyavadi without any doubt denotes one who knows, believes in and carries out activity. Please realise the implication of the separate distinctive and equal status given to Kriyavad by Jains alone others have mixed up Karmvad and Kriyavad. The same thing is repeated subsequently in chapter 9(i) (16) of Acharanga दुविहं समिच्च मेहावी किरिमक्खाय अणेलिसं नाणी is that omniscient intellectual gaint Mahavir, knowing fully well has made a unique preposition of activity in two varieties. Then it has been prescribed for a monk to recite twice a day that किरियं उवसंपज्जामि, अकिरियं परियाणामि which means "I accept - enter into activity and refrain-denounce inactivity" (QM1A सज्झाय )
Having made the positive pronouncement that Jinism is a philosophy of activity, the other three remaining philosophies have been specifically rejected. Akriyavadi i.e. one who believs in activity has been severely criticised at more than one place :
लवाव संकीय प्रणाग एहिं किरियमाहंसु अकिरियवादी ||
Afraid of bondage and future etc. Akriyavadees propound inactivity [Sutrakritanga I, 12(4)]
