________________ Vada] : 153: never be attained simultaneously, because they are extremely distinct from each other. Nihnavavāda Arya Ganga :-Since both happen to be jñānas, what harm in there if both are accepted to have been attained simultaneously? Acarya :--That is not possible. Sāmānya and visesa types of knowledge represent avagraha and apaya types of knowledge respectively. Both these types are extremely different from each other as avagraha results in general cognition while apaya results in definite or particular cognition. The general cognition always precedes the particular or definite cognition. For, it has already been said that "Without general apprehension, there is no definite apprehension, without which there is no definite ascertainment." For all these reasons, it is not possible to take both the processes of jñānas to operate simultaneously. 149-150 (24442445) Again, the opponent would ask- होज न विलक्खणाई समयं सामण्ण-भेयनाणाई । बहुयाण को विरोहो समयम्मि विसेसनाणाणं १ || १५१ ।। २४४६ || 151. Hojja na vilakkhaṇāim samayam samaņṇa-bheyanāṇāim | Bahuyāņa ko viroho samayammi visesanāṇāņam ? (2446) [ भवेतां न विलक्षणे समकं सामान्य-भेदज्ञाने । बहुकानां को विरोधः समये विशेषज्ञानानाम् ? ॥ १५१ ॥२४४६ ॥ 151. Bhavetām na vilakṣaṇe samakam sāmānya-bhedajñāne i Bahukanan ko virodhaḥ samaye viśesajñānānām? (2446) ] Trans. 151. There may not be simultaneous (applications) when there is wide difference between the general and definite types of knowledge. (But) what is the objection in (accepting) numerous knowledges of definite type, (being attained ) simuItaneously? 2446.
