: 327: कारणावैकल्यम्, न चायमसिद्धो हेतुः” इत्यादिना विरचितं स्त्रीनिर्वाणविषय - मपि वादस्थानकं तत्रेव षशित्तमाध्ययने द्रष्टव्यमिति ॥२६०६॥२६०७॥ 128 °C11780Q11
D. C. Sivabhati went out of the upasraya in the naked condition. He was followed by his sister in the same condition. A whore gave her a garment to cover her body but she did not bear the same. The whore again covered her breasts with a garment, which, too, was being rejected by her. But at last Sivabhati asked her to put on a garment and she did so.
Śivabhūti had initiated two pupils named Kauņdinya and Kottavīra, who in their turn initiated others, and thus a chain of Botikas was continued till the whole of the sect (of Digambaras) was produced.
Concluding the explanation of all the verses in connection with the discussion with Boţika, the author says “Iha yo yadarthi na sa tannimittopādānam pratyanādritaḥ yathā ghatārthi mritpiņdopādānam prati, cāritrarthinasca yatayah tannimittam ca cīvaramiti, na cāsyāsiddhatvam" etc.
[He who is desirous of any particular object, is not indifferent towards the employment of cause of production, just as any one desirous of a ghata is not (indifferent) to the employment of a lump of clay, and also just as ascetics desirous of right conduct are not indifferent to clothes which are instruments (in the careful observance of vows.) It is not that this has not been proved ( beyond doubt) ].
A discussion on the subject of sutra-vastra-pātra-parigraba composed etc. by, old eminent, experienced Acāryas can be found in the Parişaha Adhyayana of Uttaradhyayana Satra.
Besides “Tha khalu yasya yatrā-sambhavo na tasya tatra kāranāvaikalyam, yathā śuddhasilāyām salyankurasya, astica tathāvidhastrīşu mukteḥ kāranáraikalyam, na cāyamasiddho he tuh" eto.
