¹²⁶ Ibid. 1. 12, p 223a Thus definition of Kriyāvāda is applied to Jains themselves However, it may be noted that according to Śīlāṅka (Sūya Ṭī p. 218a), Kriyāvādins hold that action (kriyā) alone leads to liberation even though it be unaccompanied by right knowledge and right faith; also cf. Uttarā Ṭī 18 p 230 cf also Aṅguttara IV pp. 180-181 where Mahāvīra is represented as an exponent of the doctrine of free-will activity (kriyāvāda)
