François CHENET, professeur, Université Paris-Sorbonne M. John CORT, professeur, Denison University, États-Unis M. Nicolas DEJENNE, maître de conférences, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Mme. Françoise DELVOYE, directeur d’études, EPHE, Section des Sciences historiques et philologiques Résumé L’œuvre de Ban āras īdās (1586-1643), marchand et poète jaina actif dans la région d’Agra, s’appuie e sur la pensée du maître digambara Kundakunda (c. III s. de notre ère) pour chanter la véritable nature du soi, intrinsèquement pur, réalité suprême d’un point de vue absolu ( ni ścaya-naya ). La condition laïque de Ban āras īdās l’oblige pourtant à envisager aussi la religion d’un point de vue conventionnel ( vyavah āra-naya ), aidé en cela par des échelles de progression spirituelle ménagées e par la doctrine jaina et décrites notamment par Nemicandra ( X siècle). Il est intéressant de suivre en diachronie l’articulation entre les deux points de vue, depuis le Samayas āra , ouvrage fondateur e de Kundakunda, jusqu’à Śrīmad R ājacandra, un saint personnage de la fin du XIX siècle, en s’attardant particulièrement sur les membres du mouvement Adhy ātma dont Ban āras īdās a été l’un des plus brillants promoteurs. Mots clés : Jainisme, philosophie digambara, Kundakunda (c. IIIe siècle), Banārasīdās (1586-1643), Rājacandra (1867-1901), mouvement Adhyātma, Inde prémoderne. 2 Abstract The works of Ban āras īdās (1586-1643), a Jain merchant and poet active in the region of Agra, is largely based on the thought of the Digambara philosopher Kundakunda (c. third century). The latter invited to search for the true nature of the self seen as the only reality from an absolute point of view ( ni ścaya-naya ). The layman condition of Ban āras īdās obliged him to consider also his own religion from a conventional point of view ( vyavah āra-naya ). He was helped by his discovery of the spiritual scales prepared by the Jain doctrine and described in detail by Nemicandra (tenth century). It is rewarding to look at the articulation between the two points of view in a historical perspective, from the Samayas āra , the major work of Kundakunda, up to Śrīmad Rājacandra, a holy layman of the late nineteenth century, with a particular focus on the members of the Adhy ātma movement whose Ban āras īdās was one of the most successful instigators. Keywords : Jainism, Digambara philosophy, Kundakunda (c. third century), Banārasīdās (1586-1643), Rājacandra (1867-1901), Adhyātma movement, premodern India. 3 I Sing the progresse of a deathlesse soule John Donne (1572-1631) À mes amis Remerciements Travail solitaire s’il en est, la rédaction d’un mémoire de thèse est pourtant soutenue, attisée par l’entourage du rédacteur, sans lequel, me semble-t-il, rien ne pourrait aboutir. Il m’est donc agréable de dédier ce travail aux amis qui m’ont encouragé dans cette entreprise. Je pense particulièrement à Agnès Legueul, devenue la mère épanouie de notre fille Ida, à Bernard Condominas, qui a eu l’heureuse intuition de m’inciter à entreprendre des études universitaires, à Édith de la Héronnière, enthousiaste de la première heure, à Étienne Besse et Julien Starck, jeunes philosophes inspirés, à Samra Azarnouche, Iran Farkhondeh et Catherine Singh, fidèles des salles de lecture de la Bibliothèque nationale de France où j’ai été en poste durant toute la durée de ce travail, encouragé par mes collègues du département Sciences et techniques qui ont toujours su veiller à l’avancée d’un projet pourtant loin de leurs premières préoccupations. Une thèse est aussi un travail à quatre mains tant comptent celles du directeur, de ma directrice en l’occurrence, qui a su parfaitement trouver l’équilibre recherché entre la souplesse et la fermeté, l’enthousiasme et la discipline, le suivi et la liberté. À Nalini Balbir va toute ma reconnaissance. En Inde, au début de ce travail, les libraires et les bibliothécaires ont joué un rôle central dans la constitution de mon corpus. À Mumbai, Manish Modi a pu me procurer une copie de l’édition de l’ Ardhakath ānaka de son aïeul N āth ūrām Prem ī. Par l’intermédiaire de Nalini Balbir, j’ai pu aussi mettre la main sur son édition du Ban āras īvil āsa . La librairie Biblia Impex a réussi à me dénicher, sur le haut d’une étagère de l’entrepôt d’Ansari Road à Delhi, l’avant-dernier exemplaire de Half a Tale de Mukund Lath. À Ahmedabad, au L. D. Institute of Indology, Karshanbhai Venkar a mis toutes ses compétences de bibliothécaire pour trouver l’édition du Samayas āra-nāṭaka avec une traduction en gujarati et le directeur de l’Institut, M. Jitendra B. Shah, m’a permis de photocopier des documents difficiles à trouver ailleurs. L’Unité Mixte de Recherche « Mondes iranien et indien » a apporté une aide financière pour la publication d’ Histoire à demi , la traduction française de l’autobiographie de Ban āras īdās à la base de ce travail, et m’a permis de présenter les résultats de mes recherches à la quatrième édition du colloque des jeunes chercheurs en études indiennes (IIGRS) à Édimbourg en septembre 2012. Et comme un sujet de recherche n’est jamais totalement nouveau, les discussions que j’ai pu avoir avec mes aînés en jainologie, Johannes Bronkhorst, Paul Dundas, Peter Flügel, Jayandra Soni, et les échanges que j’ai entretenus avec John Cort dont les centres d’intérêt sont si proches des miens, ont été toujours instructifs et formateurs, profitables en tout cas à mon propre cheminement. J’espère donc que ce modeste travail saura trouver leur intérêt. 5 Sommaire INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................................................................ 9 PREMIÈRE PARTIE – LE SAMAYAS ĀRA DE KUNDAKUNDA ........................................................................... 13 1.

  • 1-15 a SHORT HISTORY of JAINA LAW1 Peter Flügel the Nine
    International Journal of Jaina Studies (Online) Vol. 3, No. 4 (2007) 1-15 A SHORT HISTORY OF JAINA LAW1 Peter Flügel The nineteenth century English neologism ‘Jaina law’ is a product of colonial legal intervention in India from 1772 onwards. 'Jaina law' suggests uniformity where in reality there is a plurality of scriptures, ethical and legal codes, and customs of sect, caste, family and region. The contested semantics of the term reflect alternative attempts by the agents of the modern Indian legal system and by Jain reformers to restate traditional Jain concepts. Four interpretations of the modern term 'Jaina law' can be distinguished: (i) 'Jaina law' in the widest sense signifies the doctrine and practice of jaina dharma, or Jaina ‘religion’. (ii) In a more specific sense it points to the totality of conventions (vyavahāra) and law codes (vyavasthā) in Jaina monastic and lay traditions.2 Sanskrit vyavasthā and its Arabic and Urdu equivalent qānūn both designate a specific code of law or legal opinion/decision, whereas Sanskrit dharma can mean religion, morality, custom and law. (iii) The modern Indian legal system is primarily concerned with the 'personal law' of the Jaina laity. In Anglo-Indian case law, the term 'Jaina law' was used both as a designation for 'Jain scriptures' (śāstra) on personal law, and for the unwritten 'customary laws' of the Jains, that is the social norms of Jain castes (jāti) and clans (gotra). (iv) In 1955/6 Jaina personal law was submerged under the statutory 'Hindu Code', and is now only indirectly recognised by the legal system in the form of residual Jain 'customs' to be proved in court.

  • 8.16 PRABHĀCANDRA, Prameyakamalamārtaṇḍa On
    This is the original draft of the entry: ‘8.16 PRABHĀCANDRA, Prameyakamalamārtaṇḍa on Māṇikyanandin’s Parīkṣāmukha’ by Piotr Balcerowicz, in: Piotr Balcerowicz and Karl Potter (eds.): Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies, Vol. XII: Jaina Philosophy, Part II, 2 Vols., Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi [to appear in] 2011. This original version of the synopsis and translation is more philological in character and, in a number of places, it is much more detailed than the printed (abridged) version. It may however contain some mistakes which were eliminated in the printed version. Nevertheless, I hope the reader may still find it useful. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.16 PRABHĀCANDRA, Prameyakamalamārtaṇḍa on Māṇikyanandin’s Parīkṣāmukha The work (‘The Lotus-like Sun [revealing] Cognisable Objects’), being a commentary on ‘An Introduction to Analysis’, has been edited by Mahendra Kumar Shastri in 1941 (Nirṇaya-sāgara Pres, Muṃbaī), and reprinted in 1990 (Sri Garib Dass Oriental Series, Sri Satguru Publications, Delhi). "E" refers to the pages of that edition. Summary by Piotr Balcerowicz First chapter (on the definition of cognitive criterion) E 1-7. Eulogy in praise of Mahāvīra etc. All objects are well-established due to cognitive criteria (pramāṇa), whereas misconception arises due to fallacy (ābhāsa) of the cognitive criterion. That is one of possible ways to ward off a hypothetical criticism voiced at the outset of the work that PKM is incoherent, illogical and self- contradictory, its subject matter has no real referent; serves no purpose, like a madman’s statement; has not meaningful contents of real subject matter, like an investigation of the crow’s teeth; has no reasonable or realistic purpose, like the discussion of the mother’s remarriage; or it is not possible to accomplish its goal, like a talk of a miraculous gem that cures all afflictions.
