  • Moksa in Jainism -With Special Reference to Haribhadra Suri
    ( 14 ) Journal of Indian and Buddhist Studies Vol. 54, No.3, March 2006 Moksa in Jainism -with special reference to Haribhadra Suri - Yasunori HARADA 0. Introduction In ancient India, how people could eliminate the suffering of samsara and obtain liberation (moksa) was a serious issue. This was also the case for the Jains. They developed an original theory of karma since the time of Mahavira. Umasvati (ca. 5- 6c) systematized a theory of liberation in his work, the TAAS. Within that text he describes the Jaina view of the world and karma. In the 10th chapter he explains in particular the Jaina theory of liberation. Haribhadra Suri (ca. 8c), a Jaina Svetambara monk and scholar, also discusses a theory of liberation in the 5th chapter of the Anekantavadapravesa.l)However, instead of developingUmasvati's theory of libera- tion, he criticizes the Buddhist view of momentariness (ksanikatva),in particular that of Dharmakirti (ca. 600-660AD). The present article examines the AVP, especially concerning the way in which Haribhadra Suri refutes the ksanikatva theory. In ad- dition, it compares Haribhadra Suri with his predecessor, the Digambara scholar Samantabhadra(ca. 600 AD),who takes the same view, i. e. the anekantavada. Thus this paper will shed new light on an aspect of the Jaina theory of liberation in the post-Agamic "logico-epistemological"tradition that has not as yet been studied in detail. 1. The Liberation Theory of Umasvati First, I would like to confirm the theoretical role of liberation in the TAAS. Umasvati enumerates 7 tattvas: jiva, ajiva, asrava, bandha, samvara, nirjara and moksa.2)This world, according to the TAAS, consists of jivas and ajivas.

They endeavour to work in the sincere and sympathetic spirit of science. They desire to understand the perplexingly involved developments of thought and life in India and dis passionately to estimate their value. They recognize the futility of any such attempt to understand and evaluate, unless it is grounded in a thorough historical study of the phenomena investigated. In recognizing this fact they do no more than share what is common ground among all modern students of religion of any repute.

Tel.: 022 - 4366 7171 2 A Word from the Translator It was in a spirit of service, and with the utmost humility, that I undertook the prestigious assignment of rendering into English language and idiom, a selection of the musings and reflections of Acharya Shree Raamesh. The original Hindi versions have been lately compiled into book form and published under the title “Neerav ka Rav”. Words and concepts peculiar to the Jain faith do not always lend themselves to literal or simple translation, and their English equivalents too may be hard to come by. Further, profundity of the Acharya’s sublime thoughts, and the scriptural quotes embellishing his writings, only added to the challenge. In this backdrop, I took leave, in quite a few instances, to reproduce the original classical/ vernacular terms, and furnish the nearest equivalent, or a brief explanation, in parenthesis. Need I say it is the fruition of Acharya Shree’s blessings that enabled me to square up to the demands of the task, making it less of an ordeal and more of a learning and rewarding experience? If the English-knowing public can access through this translation the gems of thought of our Acharya Shree, and begin to ponder over the tenets of value-based living as propounded in Jainism, this translation will have served its purpose.
