464 Jinabhadra (Jani's
[The nreth D. C- If the existence of some world like that of divine beings or hellish beings, is accepted, since they, too, are not pralya kşa, their existence is also not acceptible
On the other hand, the “astras refer to them and tell a lot of things about them. Your doubt about the existence of para-loka is based upon such mutually contradictory facts. 1407॥ (1955)
Here ends the prirva paksa The author, now, refutes the
arguments of pūrva pakşa one after another -- भूइंदियाइरित्तस्स चेयणा सो य दवओ निच्चो । जाइस्सरणाईहिं पडिवजसु वाउभूह व्व ॥ ४०८ ॥ (१९५६) Bhūindiyāirittassa céyaņā so ya davvai nicco Jaissaranaihim padivajjasu Vaubhui vva ॥ 408 ॥ ( 1956 ) [ भूतेन्द्रियातिरिक्तस्य चेतना सच द्रव्यतो नित्यः ।
जातिस्मरणादिभिः प्रतिपद्यस्व वायुभूतिरिव ॥ ४०८ ॥ (१९५६) Bhūténdriyatiriktasya cótaná sa ca dravyato nityah, Jatismaranādibhih pratipadyasva Vayubhutiriva || 408 ॥ (1956)
Trans.- 418 Conciousness belongs to ( the soul ) which is distinguished from elements, as well as, sense-organs. Like Vayubhuti, know it for certain therefore, that it is more perpetual than dravya by virtue of its ( power of ) remembering the former birth ctc. ( 1956 .
टीका-इह भूतेन्द्रियातिरिक्तस्य पूर्वाभिहितानुमानादिप्रमाणसिद्धस्यात्मन एव संबन्धिनी चेतना मन्तव्या, न भूतधर्मः। स चात्मा जातिस्मर णादिहेतुर्दैव्यतो नित्य इति वायुभूतिरिव प्रतिपयस्व । अतो नैकान्तानित्यत्वपक्षोक्तो दोषः, पर्यायत एवाऽस्यानित्यत्वादिति भावः ॥४०॥ (१९५६)
D. C.--Cétana is not the property of bhutas, but it is the property of Soul, which is different from bhattas, as well as.
