This man, who is freed from all spiritual defilements, is omniscient, and is in possession of all that one might possibly aspire after, now seeks to bestow supreme benefits on others and then reacbes the culmiBating point of yoga.
(183-85] In these verses Haribhadra offers the traditional Jaipa account and explanation of omniscience which a man is supposed to acquire on reaching the Thirteenth guṇasthana, The Jaina tradition maintains that a
