________________ 72 THE JAINA PHILOSOPHY There are many types of krijā (activity) and primarily each kriya is different from the other But different types of energy manifestations can be grouped together on different basis On the basis of causality there are two types of kriyā 1) Spontaneous release of energy caused by its own innate capacity and 11) Activation caused by external forces In another way kriyā is of two types 1) motion and 11) fusion-fission Again the motion may be vibratory or migratory. Vibrations are again of two types 1) simple and 11) complex Two types of migratory motions are 1) without changing direction ie in a straight line and 11) with change of direction In the Bhagavati Sūtra "a few instances of different kinds of motions are given thus Motion may be spontaneous or caused by outside forces It is not eternal ie matter is sometime in motion and sometimes at rest It sometimes vibrates it sometimes vibrates and also rotates and so on upto the time when it changes its mode By the word 'so on' here we understand that besides simple and complex vibrations there are many other motions but what these are is a matter of research Commentator Abhayadeva Sūri also has in his commentary suggested investigation in this field In the Bhagvati sūtra 72 motion without movement is called 'eyatı' which means 'kampana' or vibration Some types of migratory motions are (a) anusrenī vs visreni, avigraha vs vigraha and riju vs kutila (b) thāne jhaŋŋeŋam egam samayam, ukkoseṇam ānalıyãe asamkhejjai bhagam chirai hoi-Ibid 5 7 71 Bhagavati Sūtra, 2-3 72 Ibid, 5-7-150
