Niyamsar….09

 

                                                6. Nishchaya Pratyakhyan Adhikar

Now Nishchaya Pratyakhyan Adhikar is being narrated- this Nishchaya Pratyakhyan is like the beauty of great mast adorned with the victory flag of  the kingdom of complete renunciation. It is means for nirjara of all karmas, ladder for attaining moksha and first encounter with  the salvation bride.

Now the Gatha sutra is incarnated –

Gatha 95: Abandoning all extensions of words and renouncing all the future Shubha and ashubha bhavas, the Muniraj who contemplates of the soul, then that Muniraj attains Pratyakhyan.

Commentary: This is description of Pratyakhyan according to Nishchaya Naya.

From aspect of Vyavahara naya, the Muniraj, after partaking food, gives up interest in grains, drinking, eatables and licking for suitable period; this is the form of Vyavahara Pratyakhyan. From aspect of Nishchaya naya, by renunciation of extensions of all speeches of auspicious and inauspicious form, with the result of  spirit of the service of shuddha gyan the samvar attained of Shubha, ashubha dravya karmas and bhava karmas is Pratyakhyan. The one who always contemplates of extremely extraordinary soul which is the base for supreme omniscience form quality, he always attains Pratyakhyan.

The same way it has been told by Shrimad kundakundacharya in Samaysar-

Quote: ‘ Everything other than self is others ‘ knowing this the one who engages in Pratyakhyan -renouncement , therefore Pratyakhyan is knowledge only. Know this as a rule.

The same has been told by Amritchandracharya in Atmakhyati-

Quote: Whose Moha has been destroyed, such myself, attaining Pratyakhyan of all the karmas of future, continuously manifest in consciousness form karma-free  soul by means of own soul.

Shloka 127. The Samyak Drishti who relinquishes all the groups of karmas and nokarmas, that idol of samyak gyan is always engaged in Pratyakhyan. He attains Samyak Charitra also in magnificent form which is the destroyer of all masses of paps. I always worship it for destroying the miseries of rebirths.

Gatha 96: I am keval gyan natured, keval darshan natured, blissful and keval shakti natured – such is the contemplation of Gyanis.

Commentary: This is statement of the preachment of dhyan of own soul of the form of infinite foursome nature.

Here the Param Tattva gyani jiva who is free of desires of external pretensions and is engaged in inner self  completely, has been preached. What type of preachment ? As follows-

From aspect of shuddha sadbhoot vyavahara naya, which is with beginning and endless, non corporeal, having nature beyond senses, similar to shuddha pudgala paramanu which is the base for shuddha touch-taste-smell-colour ; I am Keval gyan, Keval darshan, Keval sukh and Keval shakti form Paramatma – such should be the contemplation of Gyani. From aspect of Nishchaya naya, I am naturally darshan form, I am naturally charitra form and I am naturally conscious shakti form- such should be the contemplations.

In the same way it has been told in shri Padmanandi Panchvinshati by acharya Padmanandi-

Quote: That (soul) is supremely bright, Keval gyan, keval darshan and keval bliss natured. Knowing him, what did you not know? Seeing him, what did you not see? Hearing about him, what did you not hear?

Shloka 132. Swan of the lotus form heart of all the Munirajs, idol of keval gyan, replete with completely pure vision, permanent bliss form, naturally supreme conscious capability form, this eternal Paramatma is victorious.

Gatha 97: The one who does not relinquish own bhava, absolutely does not accept other bhava, only keeps seeing-knowing all,  that is myself- such is the contemplation of Gyani.

Commentary: Here gyani who is engaged in supreme bhavna(spirit) is preached.

 The Karan Paramatma which ( 1) Never relinquishes the own supreme bhava which is pure, always unobscured and conqueror of victory flag of all the pap form fierce army of enemies; (2) Never adopts raga etc. form other bhavas which are generated with in conjunction with vibhava pudgala dravya and are cause for panch paravartan form worldly transmigration ; (3) is devoid of all vikalpas pertaining to support-supported  of pure natural gyan-natural Drishti- natural charitra etc. natural dharmas and means for the pleasure of mating with the  natural salvation form bride- such karan paramatma is known by means of unobscured supreme gyan from aspect of nishchaya naya and observed by means of natural unobscured supreme darshan , such Karan Samaysar is myself – such should be spirit of samyak gyanis.

The same has been told by Acharya Pujyapad in Samadhi Tantra-

Quote: The one who does not accept unacceptable and does not relinquish the one accepted ( permanent nature ) , knows all in every possible way, such substance knowable by experience is myself.

Completing the commentary on 97th Gatha Muniraj authors four shlokas-

Shloka 129. The soul knows and sees within soul, the soul replete with own qualities of soul i.e. the pancham bhava ; since it has never relinquished the one natural pancham bhava at all and never accepted the pudgala vibhava bhavas of  corruption form any time.

Shloka 130. Now relinquishing the disputes of body-raga-dwesha etc. generated by acceptance of oneness with other dravya; for attainment of pure, complete, natural knowledge form bliss, my this inner conscious Chintamani jewel form soul in continuously engaged within myself which should not cause any wonder; just as  knowing the taste of nectar form food, the Devas do not have any interest in any other food.

Shloka 131 . The jiva who was so far engaged in punya activities; now abandoning even these charitable activities, drinking the pure blissful nectar which is conflict free, disturbance free, incomparable, permanent, generated by own soul, which is not generated by vikalpas pertaining to other dravyas, attains peerless, second to none, consciousness bhava form Chintamani explicitly.

Shloka 132. Knowing the grandeur of own soul realised by means of the result  of worship of feet of the Guru, which scholar would say that this other dravya is mine?

Gatha 98: The soul which is devoid of Prakriti (nature), Pradesh (numbers), duration and intensity bondage is myself only. With such contemplation, the Gyani engages in such stationary bhava.

Commentary: Here the Bhavyas have been preached to relish the spirit of bondage free soul.

With the Shubha, ashubha, mind-speech-body related karmas, the Prakriti and Pradesh bondage gets accrued. With four types of passions the duration and intensity of bondage is attained. Devoid of these four bondages, always burdenless form soul is myself – such should be the contemplation of Samyak Gyani at all times.

Shloka 133. The one which is root of salvation kingdom, such incomparable, natural supremely blissful consciousness form one should be rightly entertained by the wise people. Hence O friend! You also listening to the essence of my preachment, immediately direct your attention passionately towards this miraculous consciousness only. 

Gatha 99: I relinquish endearment and remain stationary in detachment. My recourse is soul alone and everything else I renounce.

Commentary: Here the procedure for renunciation of all vibhava is described.

Endearment towards all beautiful women, wealth etc. all other dravya-guna-paryayas I renounce. Remaining stationary within detached form soul characterised by supreme contempt and taking recourse to soul, I abandon happiness unhappiness etc. form several vibhava form manifestations generated by mating with world form wife.

The same way it has been told by Shrimad Amritchandra Suri in Atmakhyati –

Quote: Shubha conduct form karmas(punya) and ashubha conduct form karmas(pap) - with prohibition of all the karmas and thus manifesting in inactive state, the Muni do not become unprotected. The reason is that when inactive state is realised then conducting - manifesting within the knowledge, the knowledge only is the protection for Munis. Remaining immersed in that gyan, they experience – taste supreme nectar themselves.

Shloka 134. The one who has brought under control all the desires pertaining to mind-speech-body and all the senses, such myself now renounce moha form aquatic group of creatures  produced within the ocean of rebirths  and desire of wealth and women by means of extremely strong-pure-dhyan form power.

Gatha 100: In reality, soul exists in my knowledge, in my darshan and in my charitra. Soul is there in my Pratyakhyan , in my samvar and in my shuddhopayoga.

Commentary: Here in this Gatha, it has been told that  the soul is completely venerable.

In reality, soul is beginningless- endless, non corporeal, having nature beyond senses, shuddha, naturally blissful. In myself manifested in naturally shuddha consciousness form and in my samyak gyan the soul only exists. Manifested with the spirit of pancham bhava (supreme Paarinamik bhava) for attainment of venerable pancham gati , in myself and in my samyak darshan only soul exists. In myself,  having naturally supreme charitra form manifestation of the form of stationary state within own nature which is means for attainment of real Nirvana, and in my natural charitra also that Paramatma is always inherent. In myself, having differentiating knowledge, aloof from other dravyas, having body alone as the possession without usage of five senses, whose Nishchaya Pratyakhyan is of the form of complete renunciation of Shubha, ashubha, punya, pap, sukh and dukh ,  that soul is always inherently present. Crown of the natural detachment form palace, immersed within the self, being like fire to burn the pap form forest such myself ; in him and  in my Shubha ashubha samvar (renunciation of Shubha ashubha) that Paramatma is inherent. Averse to ashubhopayoga and detached from shubhopayoga, engaged in shuddhopayoga such myself, from whose lips the param agam form fragrance of flowers is emanating, in the shuddhopayoga of such Padma Prabha also such Paramatma is present; since that Paramatma is eternal natured.

The same has been told by Acharya Padmanandi in Padmanandi Panchvishati-

Quote: That consciousness form flame only is the supreme gyan , that alone is pure darshan , that alone is charitra and that alone is holy tapa.

Quote: For the saints that alone is venerable, that alone is Mangal, that alone is best and that alone is the recourse.

Quote: For the Apramatta Yogi, that alone is conduct and that alone is essential activity and that alone is self study.

Completing the commentary Muniraj authors two shlokas-

Shloka 135. In my natural Samyak darshan, shuddha gyan, charitra, in the denial period of Shubha and ashubha karmas (i.e. Pratyakhyan), in the samvar and in shuddha yoga ( shuddhopayoga) that Paramatma only is inherent. ( i.e. the recourse of all Samyak darshan etc. all is shuddha soul only). For attainment of salvation there is nothing else in the world. It does not exist.

Shloka 136. Which is sometimes seen as pure, sometimes it is seen as pure and impure, and sometimes it is seen as impure, such own gyan form lamp which has destroyed the darkness of pap is stationary in the lotus heart form residence of the saints. For the agyanis it is incomprehensible.

Gatha 101: Jiva dies alone and himself takes birth alone. Faces death alone and  alone becomes siddha getting free of impurities.

Commentary: Here in this gatha, it has been told that in worldly state and in salvation, the jiva is without assistance.

Continuous death i.e. destruction of Nisheks (paramanus) of Ayu Karmas occurring at every moment and the death pertaining to that birth, jiva dies alone from aspect of Vyavahara without assistance from anyone.

From aspect of near Anupacharit Asadbhoot Vyavahara naya, in the generation of  nar-narak etc.  form paryayas which are  corporeal vibhava vyanjan paryayas of different category form which have beginning & end, the Jiva takes birth alone. In spite of being protected by all well wishers, the immensely powerful jiva dies on his own alone without wishing for it. The Jiva attains Nirvana soon alone by contemplation of own soul becoming karma free by means of the power of own soul dependent Nishchaya Shukla dhyan attained by benediction of param guru.

The same has been told elsewhere-

Quote: Soul indulges in karmas himself and enjoys their result by himself. Himself wanders  in the world and himself gets free from the world.

Shri Somdeva Panditdeva  has told in Yashastilak Champu Kavya in Ekatva Anuprksha–

Quote: For enjoying the results of karmas carried out by yourself, you venture into birth and death alone, no other wife-son-friend etc. provide any assistance in facing different types of sukh and dukh; for their livelihood only ( merely for their own selfish purpose) you are having  the company of thugs( wife-son-friends).  

Shloka 137. Jiva alone attains birth and death as a result of strong devilish karmas. Being estranged from the pleasure of soul on account of intense Moha, Jiva himself alone enjoys again and again the sukh and dukh generated by conflict of karmas . Jiva alone by acquiring one consciousness form tattva from the guru by any means, remains stationary within the same.

Gatha 102: One  eternal soul having characteristics of gyan, darshan is mine; rest all bhavas having characteristics of conjunction are external to me.

Commentary: This is statement of characteristics of Samyak Gyani manifested in the form of ekatva bhavna ( spirit of being one only)

Nearby of the beds of the roots of the trees of Nandan Vana of the form of whole world, for irrigating, serving the  purpose of water canal, this body is produced by means of dravya karmas and bhava karmas while the soul is devoid of these, being eternal unburdened natured Karan Paramatma characterised by unobscured gyan darshan   characteristics.

That Karan Paramatma, free of different vikalpa form noise related to the  pageantry  of ritualistic activities, enjoying the naturally pure gyan chetna (consciousness) in a manner beyond senses, remaining eternal, it is venerable to me. All other external and internal possessions which are produced in conjunction with Shubha and ashubha karmas are external to own nature – such is my conviction.

Shloka 138. My Paramatma  is eternal, is one in some respect, is natural param consciousness form Chintamani, is always pure and rich with infinite own divine gyan darshan.  When such is the reality then what is the use of different types of bhavas for me?

Gatha 103: All my flawed conduct I renounce by the three ways of mind-speech-body and three way Samayik i.e Charitra, thus  I attain  Nirakar (formless)/ Nirvikalpa state.

Commentary: This is description of the means for being free of the defects of the soul.

Myself supreme ascetic, in spite of having differentiating knowledge, on account of fruition of previously accrued karmas resulting in fruition of charitra moha, if some flawed conduct is performed, then I renounce all of them in samyak way by means of purity of mind-speech-body. The word “Samayik” denotes charitra which is of three kinds namely Samayik, Chhedopasthapana, and Parihar Vishuddhi. I make that Charitra as formless or I maximize the inferior jewel trio. The jewel trio of the form of belief-knowledge-conduct of nine substances form other dravya is with shape i.e. savikalpa , by means of belief-knowledge-conduct form adoption of natural jewel trio of own nature, I make it shapeless i.e. purify it , such is the meaning.

In other words, I convert differentiated formal charitra into undifferentiated formal conduct and then convert undifferentiated formal charitra into undifferentiated informal charitra. In this way with acceptance of three way Samayik (charitra) gradually, the natural Nishchaya charitra of the form of stationary state in in natural supreme tattva is attained. That Nishchaya charitra being immersed in shapeless tattva is shapeless charitra.

The same has been told by Shri Amritchandracharya in Tattva Deepika named commentary on Pravachansar-

Quote: Conduct is in accordance with the dravya and dravya is in accordance with the conduct- hence both are interdependent. Therefore either taking the recourse to dravya or that of conduct, O Muni ! Proceed on the Moksha marg.

Shloka 139. Those whose intellect is engaged in the spirit of conscious tattva , such Munis remain cautious in practicing sanyam. Such sanyam is cause for destruction of painful death.

Gatha 104: I have equanimity towards all jivas, I do not have animosity with anyone; in reality abandoning expectations I attain Samadhi.

Commentary: In this Gatha the purity of bhava of supreme ascetic engaged inwards is described.

The one who has abandoned all the activities of the senses, such myself have equanimity towards those having differentiating knowledge and those who are ignorant. In the absence of manifestations in the form of friendship or animosity, I do not have enmity with any jiva. On account of naturally detached manifestations, I do not have any expectations. I take recourse of supreme samadhi  conjoined with supreme equanimity bhava.

The same has been told by shri Yogindra deva in Amritasheeti-

O Brother! Being naturally powerful, give  up laziness and recollecting supreme equanimity form Kula devi, accept Samyak Gyan form Chakra soon to destroy the Moha form enemy having ignorance as minister.

Completing the commentary on 104th gatha commentator Muniraj authors two shlokas-

Shloka 140. The one who is besotted with  equanimity form salvation bride like a large black bee; the equanimity which is root of blissful moksha, which is like moonlight for destroying the darkness of malice and which is always desired by Sanyami people,  such equanimity I very much relish.

Shloka 141. Which is scarce even to the Yogis, which is like the full moonlight to cause tide in the ocean of  bliss of self immersion; which is favourite friend of the ordination form mind of wife of supreme ascetics; and which is grandest ornament of groups of Munis and three loks also, such equanimity is victorious for ever.

Gatha 105: The one who is free of passions, who has conquered all the senses, who is brave and engaged in attaining purity and is fearful of the world; he attains blissful Pratyakhyan (i.e. Nishchaya Pratyakhyan).

Commentary: Here the form of jiva who is eligible for Nishchaya Pratyakhyan is described.

The one who is free of mud of the form all the passions, who has conquered all the activities of senses, by winning over great warriors of the form of all the calamities who has demonstrated own bravery, who is immersed in nishchaya supreme tapa with shuddha bhava and who is fearful of the worldly miseries, he practices pratyakhyan of the form of renunciation of  four types of Ahar from aspect of Vyavahara with appropriate purity. But Vyavahara Pratyakhyan devoid of purity is possible even for the Mithyatvi person also on account of kshyopasham of dravya karma and bhava karma  pertaining to fruition of charitra moha possibly sometimes. Therefore Nishchaya Pratyakhyan is beneficial to bhavyas  very soon to attain moksha; since just as golden ore is venerable, in the same way the ore free of gold is not. Therefore with appropriate purity, the detachment towards the world and body related enjoyments is cause for Nishchaya Pratyakhyan and renunciation of different vibhavas of the form of moha raga dwesha etc. for future is real Pratyakhyan or, renunciation of different vikalpas which shall be generated in future is shuddha nishchaya pratyakhyan.

Shloka 142. O Munivar! Listen. The Pratyakhyan being generated in the doctrine of Jinendra is always victorious. That Pratyakhyan is provider of Nirvana bliss for all the Param Sanyamis, it is a great ornament of the beautiful ears of natural equanimity form damsel and cause for grand adolescence of your ordination form dear bride.

Gatha 106: The one who carries out the practice of differentiating jiva and karma in this manner, that sanyami is capable of adopting pratyakhyan as a rule.

Commentary: This statement denotes conclusion of the Nishchaya Pratyakhyan Adhikar.

The supreme Sanyami, who is capable of contemplating upon the meaning of the Paramagam emanated from the lotus lips of Shrimad Arhant; carries out differentiation of karma pudgala and eternal bondage form impure inner tattva by the power of practice of differentiation; that supreme Sanyami adopts Nishchaya and Vyavahara Pratyakhyans.

Completing the last gatha of this Nishchaya Pratyakhyan Adhikar, the commentator Muniraj shri Padmaprabhamaldharideva authors nine shlokas.

Shloka 143. ‘The one who has taken leave of all the worldly bhavas pertaining to future, that is myself’. Such bhavas and thoughts of own pure nature which is treasure of total bliss should always be entertained by all the Muniraj daily for getting rid of karma impurities.

Shloka 144. ‘This supreme Tattva soul is divine boat to cross the fearful worldly ocean thus it is told by Jinendra deva. Hence conquering moha I contemplate upon the supreme tattva continuously with real spirit.

Shloka 145. With the destruction of delusion whose wisdom is immersed in the natural supremely blissful conscious tattva ; such pure idol of charitra practices pratyakhyan continuously. Those who believe other faiths ; for such Yogis Pratyakhyan is not applicable, since they have to wander in this dense world again and again.

Shloka 146. The world famous permanent great bliss resides in magnificent form in the Siddha soul having pure qualities. In spite of this! Oh Oh! Why do even scholars too  hanker  for sensual pleasures being pierced by the sharp arrows of desires ! They are insentient.

Shloka 147. The one which is like fire for burning the dense forest of devilish pap form trees, such explicit pure-wise great charitra is attained by Sanyamis by Pratyakhyan. Hence O great Bhavya! You immediately adopt the soul tattva  in your intellect, since that  tattva  naturally provides bliss  and is root of charitra of Munis.

Shloka 148. In the lotus heart form interior of talented intelligent jivas about tattva, the natural soul tattva which is existing; that natural soul tattva is victorious. That natural brightness has destroyed the darkness of moha and that natural brightness with the illumination of knowledge by  the spread of own natural qualities  is nothing else.

Shloka 149. And the one ( natural tattva) which is indivisible, permanent, far from all flaws, best, which is like boat for the mass of jivas sunk in the ocean of rebirths and is like water for extinguishing the flames of strong calamities, that natural tattva I always offer salutations with happiness.

Shloka 150. Which is known ( famous) from the lotus lips of Jina Prabhu, which is stationary within own nature, which is illuminated in the mind form homes of Munis like beautiful lamps of jewels, which is worthy of salutations by yogis who have conquered the darshan moha in this lok and which is temple of happiness, such natural tattva I always offer salutations.

Shloka 151. The one who has destroyed the mass of paps, which has eliminated the lot of punya karmas, who has shed the desires etc. also, which is palace of strong knowledge, which is offered obeisance by the knowers of tattvas, which does not have any thing remaining to carry out, which is home for strong qualities and who has destroyed the night form moha, such natural tattva we offer salutations.
