Conflict Removing Vision of Jainism
183
Here it is to be quotable that Jaina philosopher Mallișeņa (13"century)and Yaśovijaya (17th century) have categorically mentioned that Nyāya-Vaiśesika philosophers represent naigama naya, Sāmkhya and Vedānta philosophers represent samgrahanaya, Cārvāka view point represents vyavahāranaya, Buddhist philosophy represents rjusūtranaya and the philosophers of grammar may represent sabda naya." In this way Jaina philosophers perceive the various Indian philosophies from the different points of views and give regard to them to establish harmony. A person should leave the attitude of obstinacy that he is only true and rest of the people are wrong. If a view point denies other viewpoints then that is counted as fallacious. Yaśovijaya says: -
“A true non-absolutism does not disdain any faith but treats all the salvation oriented faiths equally as a father behaves to his sons.
