GRANTHRAJ SHRI PANCH DHYAYI …06

 


Summary

217. Shloka- The summary of the above is that from sense of differentiation the Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya all three appear as parts of existent. If the differentiation sense is removed from roots then all three get merged in existent substance.

Bhavartha- From aspect of differentiated Paryayarthika naya the same existent is Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya form and from aspect of undifferentiated Dravyarthika naya the same existent appears as existence alone. 

Doubt

218. Shloka – Let the Utpad and Vyaya be part forms but how can dhrovya which is permanent, remain in part form?

Answer 219-225

219. Shloka- The above doubt is not valid since all the three parts are themselves existence form. In reality they are not parts of existence. Just as different substances are different , they are not many in different forms. But existence itself is every part form.

Bhavartha- Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya all three are not parts of existence like flower, fruit, leaves of tree but existence itself is Utpad etc. form.

220. Shloka- In this context the example is as follows- If existence is target of Utpad then manifesting in Utpad form it is only Utpad form.

221. Shloka- Or if, existence is target of Vyaya, then  manifesting in Vyaya form that existence would only be Vyaya form for sure.

222. Shloka- If existence is target of Dhrovya manifesting in dhrovya form, then like Utpad, Vyaya the existence is only dhovya form.

Bhavartha- In the three shlokas above it has been negated that Utpad, Vyaya, Dhrovya is different from existence or they are parts of existence separately. It has been told that all three are existence form and all three occur together. Whichever is the objective of discussion, the existence is that form only. Existence is by itself Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya form.

223. Shloka- For example  mud is dravya. The moment mud is observed in pot form, at that moment it is only pot form and when it is observed in block form it is merely a block of mud.

224. Shloka – If the mud is made with an objective of mud only then it is merely mud form . In this way the same existent (dravya) has three parts of Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya.

225. Shloka- It is not so that some part of existent (dravya) has generation and some part has destruction  and another part remains dhrovya. In a tree some part has fruits, another part has flowers and another part has leaves. Just as in tree the fruit, flower and leaves are separate, in the same way the existent does not have utpad, vyaya and dhrovya. In reality existent only is utpad form, existent only is vyaya form and existent only is dhrovya form.

Doubt

226. Shloka- Whether the Utpad etc. belong to three different parts ? Or do they belong to same owner? Or these are different parts of existent? Or they are different non existent form parts?

Answer 227-228

227. Shloka- The above doubt is not valid. In Jain Darshan as a rule Anekant is strong and not absolute ekant. If the above questions are raised from aspect of Anekant then all statements are acceptable. From any aspect anything can be said without contradiction. However if discarding Anekant, the questions are raised in Ekant form then surely they are contradictory to each other. Hence all these statements are non contradictory in view of Anekant and without it they are contradictory.

Bhavartha – Jain darshan is Praman Naya form. When a substance is described from aspect of naya then it is valid. If it is done without consideration of aspect then it becomes invalid. It does not mean that  Jain darshan is not decisive and is doubt form. The reason is that a substance has several dharmas and by describing in one dharma form alone distorts its form. For example take a book. The book is bhava form as well as abhava (absence)  form. From aspect of own nature it is bhava form and from  aspect of others nature it is abhava form. That’s why book is called book and not ink, pen, table, chair etc. Hence there is no contradiction in describing its nature using Anekant. It answers the question that how can bhava and abhava stay together in same substance?

228.  Shloka- Only parts do not have Utpad, Vyaya, Dhrovya nor do these three belong to owner. But the owner has parts of the form of Utpad, Vyaya all three.

Doubt

229. Shloka- A substance may have generation and destruction both; but the same substance being Dhrovya also is just statement and directly contradictory. How can the same substance have Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya all three?

Answer 230-231

230 Shloka- The statement of the questioner can be valid when Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya may have time difference or if existent only is getting destroyed and existent is getting generated. Then the three can be contradictory.

231. Shloka- But such a thing does not happen due to any reason, at any time, in any way that Utpad occurs at different time, Vyaya occurs at different time and dhrovya may be at different time. Thus to establish the time difference of these three neither a Praman exists nor any example.

Doubt

232-233. Shloka- Doubt is raised that Utpad occurs at its own time since being generated is its characteristics. The Vyaya occurs at its own time since destruction alone is its characteristics. In the same way Dhrovya also occurs at its own time since being Dhruva is its nature. Just as seed, sprout amd tree are different characteristics at different times, in the same way the Utpad, Vyaya, Dhrovya have different characteristics and different times. Is this acceptable?

Bhavartha- Having different characteristics, do the three have different times ?

Answer 234-247

234. Shloka- On account of different characteristics it is not right to believe them at different times since there is no time difference between Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya. All three occur at the same time. This is established by logic and example below-

235 Shloka- Seed is existent at the time of its paryaya and seed cannot be said to be absent from seed paryaya. Hence vyaya of seed paryaya is not there but at the time of generation of sprout paryaya the seed paryaya can be said to be having vyaya.

236. Shloka- The time of seed paryaya cannot be called to be the time of sprout generation. At the time of seed paryaya there is absence of Utpad of sprout paryaya. Hence the sprout paryaya would be at its own time and not at any other time.

237. Shloka- Or if seed and sprout both are called as tree in general then neither the tree was produced not destroyed . Only seed paryaya was destroyed and sprout paryaya was born.

238. Shloka- Thus with power of logic it is established that Utpad, vyaya, Dhrovya have same time. The generation of tree in sprout form is the time of destruction of in seed form and the tree-ness is same in both states.  

Bhavartha- the summary of the three shlokas above is as follows- The time of seed paryaya is not the time of its Vyaya since both presence and absence cannot be both at the same time. However the time of generation of sprout is same as that of destruction of seed paryaya. It is not so that in  between seed paryaaya and sprout generation, the seed paryaya may be getting destroyed. By such belief the dravya would be devoid of paryaya since seed has been destroyed and sprout has not been generated yet. At that time which paryaya would be present? None. Surely then dravya would be free of paryaya. In the absence of paryaya the dravya cannot stay automatically. Hence the time the sprout is generated, at that time only seed gets destroyed. In other words, the destruction of seed paryaya only is the generation of sprout paryaya. It does not mean that generation and destruction have the same meaning. If both have same meaning then it can be said that the one getting destroyed, the same is  getting generated but it is not so. Destruction is that of seed and generation is that of sprout. However the fructified paryaya of destruction and generation is same. It is not so that the time of seed paryaya is same as that of sprout paryaya. In such a case the existence of two paryayas would need to be accepted at same time which is contrary to Praman. Hence at the time of seed paryaya the sprout paryaya does not get generated, but the time of destruction of seed paryaya is same as the time of sprout generation. In seed destruction and sprout generation, both states the tree-ness is present. The moment tree is destroyed from seed paryaya form, same moment it is generated in sprout paryaya form. The tree is present in both states. Hence this establishes well that Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya all three are at the same time and are not different.

Just as a Manushya died and became Deva. Now the time of destruction of manushya Paryaya and generation of Deva paryaya is same. In  generation destruction at that time Dhruva jiva has neither utpad nor Vyaya but is Dhruva only.

239. Shloka- The time of sprout generation is same as seed destruction and both of these are of the form of tree. Hence the time of seed destruction and sprout generation is same as that of Dhrovya of tree.

240. Shloka- It establishes this point flawlessly that the substance has Utpad etc. all three at the same time. They occur from aspect of Paryaya of substance and not of substance without paryaya.

241. Shloka- The moment the Utpad etc. three are believed to be that of substance without aspect of paryaya , the same moment all three would be contradictory and the times also may be different.

242. Shloka- Or the contradiction would occur that the moment there is Utpad of one paryaya, the same has Vyaya and same has Utpad also.

243. Shloka- In reality it is thus that the existent gets destroyed from aspect of same paryaya and with respect to some other paryaya the Utpad takes place and some other paryaya remains Dhrovya.

244. Shloka-  The example of tree is clear. Just as tree is generated in existent form from sprout by itself, gets destroyed from seed form and remains tree form in both as Dhruva.

245. Shloka- It is not so that the tree gets destroyed from seed form and with same seed form it gets generated and the same seed remains Dhruva since this is directly contradictory.

246. Shloka- The soul ( in Jiva) is existent in both Utpad and Vyaya. There is no two  different independent substances other than existence.

247. Shloka- From aspect of paryayarthika naya Utpad , Vyaya and Dhrovya all are there. From aspect of Dravyarthika naya neither Utpad, nor Vyaya, nor Dhrovya is there.

Doubt

248. Shloka- Either accept existent Utpad form substance or non existent Vyaya form substance or Dhrovya form substance. How do you accept all three forms?

Bhavartha- Earlier it has been established that Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya belong to one existent at one samaya from aspect of Paryayarthika naya. The questioner askes that when it is at one samaya only then telling single existence is adequate. What is the purpose of telling all three?

Answer 249-260

249. Shloka- The above question is invalid since Utpad, Vyaya, Dhrovya as a rule are together since without one the other two also cannot exist.

250. Shloka- Or,  without any two, any one cannot exist. Hence it is essential for proper establishment of substance that Utpad, Vyaya and Dhrovya be together.

251. Shloka- All the three are mutually dependent (on each other). The same is clarified that without Utpad the Vyaya cannot occur since the abhava  of any paryaya necessarily occurs with bhava only.

252. Shloka- Utpad cannot occur without Vyaya since it it can be felt that bhava taking new birth is adorned with abhava.

Bhavartha- With destruction of any paryaya only new paryaya can be generated. The substance remains the same in all states. Hence it is essential that with destruction of previous state only the new state may exist.

253. Shloka- Or, without dhrovya, Utpad and Vyaya both cannot exist since only with existence of substance with its support Utpad and Vyaya ( Bhava and abhava) can exist.

254. Shloka- Or without Utpad and Vyaya both, dhrovya also cannot exist surely since in the absence of Vishesh the samanya existence also is absent.

Bhavartha-The substance is samanya vishesh form. Vishesh cannot be there without samanya and without Vishesh the Samanya also cannot exist. Utpad, Vyaya are Vishesh and Dhrovya is Samanya. Hence without Utpad, Vyaya, Vishesh the Dhrovya Samanya cannot be there. In the same way without Dhrovya Samanya , Utpad Vyaya Vishesh cannot be there.

255. Shloka- In this way the arrangement of Utpad, Vyaya, Dhrovya should be established in substance. No other way their arrangement can be there since by not accepting any the remaining also get negated.

Bhavartha- The above described arrangement only is suitable and with acceptance of all three together only it can be workable. By not accepting any one or two of the three the remaining two or one also cannot be valid.

256. Shloka- The above is clarified that the one who accepts only one Utpad only, in his existence the non existent would also be generated or due to lack of reason the Utpad itself would not take place.

257. Shloka- The one who accepts only Vyaya independent of Utpad side, for him the existent would surely get destroyed without residue or without cause his accepted form also would not get destroyed.

258. Shloka- In the same way those who accept only dhrovya side independent of utpad vyaya , in his belief the dravya would remain non manifesting and due to dravya being non manifesting, it cannot have dhrovya also.

259. Shloka- The one who accepts only Utpad and Vyaya to be Praman form independent of Dhrovya, in his principle everything would become transitory. Or in the absence of existent neither Vyaya is possible nor Utpad is possible.

260. Shloka- People desirous of Astikya (faith in Paramatma) and fearful of the above described flaws should in reality accept the togetherness of Utpad etc. all three.

Bhavartha- All three are relative to each other , this is established without flaw.

Note- In the Maha Adhikar describing form of substance the fifth intermediate chapter describing Utpad Vyaya Dhrovya  is completed and the first Maha Adhikar describing substance also got concluded.

GRANTHRAJ SHRI PANCHADHYAYI

FIRST KHAND / SECOND VOLUME

Narration of the Anekant state of substance (261-502)

Resolution

261. Shloka – The dravya which is guna paryaya form, that only accompanied with utpad, Vyaya, Dhrovya is existent. This is the characteristics of dravya from aspect of Praman ( since the substance is Praman form i.e. Anekant by nature). Now for purification of Anekant gyan the Anekant form state of substance is described.

Anekant form state of Substance

262. Shloka- Syat Asti, Syat Nasti, Syat Nitya, Syat Anitya, Syat Ek, Syat Anek, Syat Tat, Syat Atat in this way with these four pairs the substance is woven. ( The substance is entwined with these dharmas).

Clarification of same

263. Shloka- The same is elaborated. The one which is there from certain aspect is not there from another aspect. In the same way the one which is Nitya from  certain aspect is Anitya from another aspect. That which is one from certain aspect is Anek in another aspect. That which  is same in some aspect is not same in some other aspect. In this way these four pairs exist from aspects of dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava.  

Explanation – The substance which from Samanya nature of dravya, kshetra, kaal, Bhava is Asti form, the same substance at the same time in Vishesh nature is Nasti form with respect to dravya, kshetra, kaal, bhava. Or it can also be said this way – the substance which in Vishesh form is asti with respect to dravya, kshetra, kaal, bhava , the same thing in samanya nature is nasti with respect to dravya, kshetra, kaal, bhava. At the same time the thing from samanya nature of dravya, kshetra, kaal, bhava is Nitya and the same thing from vishesh nature of dravya, kshetra, kaal, bhava is Anitya form also. At the same time the same substance from Samanya aspects of dravya, kshetra, kaal, bhava is ek form and the same substance at same time from Vishesh aspects of dravya, kshetra, kaal, bhava is anek form. At the same time same substance from samanya aspects of dravya, kshetra, kaal, bhava is Tat form and the same substance at the same time from vishesh aspects of dravya, kshetra, kaal bhava is Atat form. In this way the same substance at the same time appears to be entwined with above described four pairs. Therefore the substance itself is Anekant form i.e. several dharma form. Other than Jain dharma all other dharmas have accepted the substance to be specific dharma form in absolutely ekant manner. For example the Samkhya say that substance is Nitya only while Bauddha call it Anitya only. Such faiths are called as followers of Ekant. Jain dharma follows Anekant. The substance is Anekant form and Syadvad i.e. from some aspect it is so – this is the method of describing the  substance. By this the ekant is avoided and Anekant is supported.

There is another Drishti which says that a dravya from aspects of dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava is existent and the same dravya from aspects of another dravya’s dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava is not existent. Such procedure is also followed in Jain dharma but that is not applicable here. Here the dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava of samanya is absent in the dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava of vishesh and vice versa. Error in this realisation would make the meaning of first part of granth erroneous. The same four pairs are there in shri Samayasar Parishisht also . But there is a difference between the two. There the dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava of a dravya is called as nasti form in dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava of another dravya. There the subject is that of Atma and Gyan-Gyeya. The dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava of Gyan(atma) is not existent in that of Gyeya and dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava of gyeya is not existent in gyan. Here the subject of one dravya only . To establish the Anekant nature of substance the dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava of samanya is shown to be different from dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava of vishesh. The other three pairs in Shri Samaysar are also from aspect of Samanya-Vishesh which is same as here. There the subject is not that of another dravya. But there is one difference -  there  between soul and others and that too from aspect of Gyana form and Gyeya form it is shown. Here all six dravyas are the subject. The view is that just as substance is self established, in the same way it manifests also by itself. In Samaysar the subject is that of soul while here that of Samanya substance.

Here the description of ‘asti-nasti’ pair is there upto shloka 308, ‘Tat-Atat’ pair upto 335, ‘Nitya-Anitya’ pair upto 433, ‘ek-anek’ pair upto 502 shloka. The author has applied the dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava on ‘asti-nasti; and ‘ek-anek’ pairs and for remaining two he has told to apply it by similarity. In Samaysar only on ‘asti-nasti’ pair the dravya-kshetra-kaal-bhava has been applied hence there are 8 kalash pertaining to ‘asti-nasti’ pair and for remaining three pairs there are only 6 kalash. Thus a total of 14 kalash are pertaining to this subject.

The meaning of the term ‘Nasti’ is not total absence but ‘insignificant’ . The meaning of Syat is ‘ from certain aspect’. That aspect is not described  but it is understood. For example ‘ dravya is syat nitya’ . Here the term syat implies Dravyarthika Drishti. Dravya is Nitya from Dravyarthika Drishti. In the same way ‘ Dravya is Syat Anitya’. Here Syat means Paryaya Drishti. i.e. Dravya from aspect of Paryayarthika Drishti is Anitya. Drishti is implied in the intent of speaker. The rest should also be understood the same way. For example Dravya is Syat Tat. This is Samanya Drishti. Dravya is Syat Atat, this is Vishesh Drishti. According to this Drishti the dravya at every samaya is different. All these four pairs are true from their own aspects. Without aspect they are untrue since the substance is Samanya Vishesh form. Every pair is observed from aspect of four Drishti. For example it would apply on Nitya Anitya as follows- (1)Thing from dravya Drishti is Nitya  (2) Thing from paryaya Drishti is Anitya (3) Thing from Praman Drishti is Nitya-Anitya form together (4) Thing from Shuddha drishti is Anubhaya i.e. indivisible . Every pair is of this form.
