The Doctrine of the Jainas, Described after the Old Sources c8.162

c8.162

The *para-m-āhohiya* equals the Kevalin in that he is certain to enjoy salvation even in the same existence (Viy. 311a), and acc. to Viy. 755b his way of realising the objects, as will be discussed below (§ 82), is just the same as well. From our way of spelling the word it already follows how, in our view, it has to be analysed: it concerns an *adhovadhika-para=adhovadhikāt paraḥ* or *paramah*, as we read in Viy. 67a. The reading to *para-m-ohiya* in the same passage expresses the same. Probably *āhohiya* itself goes back to *yathāvadhika*.
