Jinabhadra Gani's [The eleventh (2) The cave of moksa is difficult to be entered by the samsaris. (3) There are two types of Brahama:--
1 The Parama Branma or principal Brahma is moşka
and a-parama or subordtnate Brahama is jñāna.
Your doubt has sprung up from these Veda padas which bear contradictory senses. But you have not grasped their real interpretation. Here, I give their correct interpretation Please listen carefully. ॥ 426 1 1974 )
Bhagavāna now states the opponent's view and refutes it, मनसि किं दीवस्स व नासो निव्वाणमस्स जीवस्स ?। दुक्खक्खयाइरुवा किं होज व से सओऽवत्था ? ||४२७॥१९७५)
Mannasi kim divassa va naso nivvānamassa jîvassa ?' Dukkhakkhayāirūvā kim hojja va sé sao'vattha || 427 !! ( 1975 )
[ मन्यसे कि दीपस्येव नाशो निर्वाणमस्य जीवस्य ?
दुःखक्षयादिरूपा किं भवेद् वा तस्य सताऽवस्था ? ॥४२७॥(१९७६) Nanyase kim dipasyeva nāśo nirvāṇamasya jîvasya ? Dunkhaksayadirupa kim bhaved vā tasya sato'vastha 14271(1975)]
Trans.-427 Do you think the nirvana ( extinction of life ) to be similar to the extinction of lamp ? Or, would the positive exstence of soul in the form of diminution of miseries etc. be its extinction?
टीका-आयुपान् ! प्रमास ! त्वमेकं मन्यसे-कि दीपस्येवास्य जीवस्य नाशो ध्वंस एव निर्वाणम् ? यथाऽऽहुः सौगतविशेषाः केचित् , तद्यथा---
दीपो यथा निर्देतिमभ्युपेतो नैवावनि गच्छति नान्तरिक्षम् । दिशं न काश्चिद् विदिशं न काञ्चित् स्नेहक्षयान केवलमेति शान्तिम् ।।१।।
