    Chapter 5.8 – Sarvajña (The Omniscience) [8 of 20]

     

    Keeping everything in mind our author gives following reasons for diversity in preaching among omniscient ones [4 of 6]

    In Śāstravārtāsamuccaya Haribhadrasūri has said that a follower of vitarāga should never disrespect views of other great sages viz. Kapila. If the follower does so, he in a way disrespects the Jain scriptures.

    The lines are as follows:

    divyamahāmunikapilādyabhiprāyamanunnīya tagśanā dveṣastu |
    dṛṣṭivāda dveṣaparyavasāyitvānna yukto vītarāga samayasthitānām || 3.44. ||

    The commentator of Nayalatā writes following lines which justify most logically Haribhadrasūri’s advice of not disregarding other saintly personages.

    The lines are:

    ...| veṣavelakṣaṇyamātreṇa nirvyājaparārthakaraṇaśīla tantrāntarīyamahaṣi–tiraskāre'khilamahaṣitiraskārā''pattiḥ, ekasyā'pi guṇitaḥ tiraskāre tadgattaguṇatiraskāreṇa taddvārā nikhilaguṇitiraskārasya nyāyyatvāt |
    katyamovaikasmin sādho hī lite pūjite vā sakalasādhūnāṃ hīlanā pūjā veti saṅgagacchate
     |...

    The statements of Nayalatā commentary derives authoritativeness from the below given lines of Oghaniryukti. The lines are:

    bharaheravayavidehe pannarasa vi kammabhūmigā sāhū |
    ekkaṃbhi hīliyaṃmi savve te hīliyā huṃti ||426||
    bharaheravayavidehe pannarasavi kammabhūmigā sāhū |
    ekkaṃmi pūiyaṃmī savve te pūiyā huṃti ||427||
