Match List I with List II in the context of the Jaina theory of knowledge and mark the correct code : Codes : (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)List I List II (i) Matijñāna (a) omniscience (ii) Avadhi (b) thought-reading (iii) Manah-paryāya (c) supernatural cognition (iv) Kevala-jñāna (d) ordinary cognition
(d) (c) (b) (a)
Jaina epistemology recognises five kinds of knowledge (jñāna): mati, śruta, avadhi, manaḥparyāya and kevala; the first two are mediate (parokṣa), the last three immediate (pratyakṣa) and independent of the senses.
Matijñāna is ordinary cognition obtained through the senses and the mind, including perception, memory, recognition and inference, so it pairs with ordinary cognition.
Avadhi-jñāna is clairvoyance, a supernatural or extrasensory cognition of things distant in space and time, so it pairs with supernatural cognition.
Manaḥparyāya-jñāna is telepathy, the direct knowledge of the thoughts of others, i.e. thought-reading, so it pairs with thought-reading.
Kevala-jñāna is perfect knowledge, the omniscience of the liberated soul once all knowledge-obscuring karma is destroyed, so it pairs with omniscience.
Only the code that lists ordinary cognition, supernatural cognition, thought-reading and omniscience in that order fits all four pairs; every other code links mati or kevala to the wrong kind of knowing.
Hence, (d) (c) (b) (a).
