A Study of the Jaina Theory of Knowledge -On Matijnana in the Sabhasya Tattvarthadhigamasutra

The Taitvarthadhigamastra (the rest abbreviated as T.S.) of Umgsväti which has just been translated into Japanese with chapter gives a general outline of the doctrines translated text alone it is difficult to grasp its sutra aims at the tersest possible expression, thus the explanatory notes were attached to the individual sätras for clarifying the purport.

कनकुरा, जिन्होंने अभी तत्त्वार्थाधिगमसूत्र का जापानी अनुवाद किया है, सूत्र और स्वोपज्ञ भाष्य में उमास्वाति द्वारा मतिज्ञान के वर्गीकरण एवं समन्वय की परीक्षा करते हैं। प्रथम अध्याय की बीस पारिभाषिक संकल्पनाओं में वे पुनरुक्ति पाते हैं और कहते हैं कि परम्परागत सूत्र यथावत् जोड़ दिए गए हैं। Kanakura, who has just translated the Tattvarthadhigamasutra into Japanese, examines how Umasvati classifies and synthesises matijnana in the sutra and his own bhasya. He finds redundancy among the twenty categorical concepts of chapter one and argues the author juxtaposed inherited formulae without sufficient critical readjustment.
