ѲԲḥpⲹⲹ (मनःपर्यय) or ManaḥparayañԲ refers to the “power to read other persons� thoughts� (i.e., a type of knowledge enabling one to know the mental processes of others) and represents one of the five types of “right-knowledge� (ⲹñԲ), as mentioned in chapter 1.3 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as mentioned in Ṛṣabha’s sermon:

“[... ǰṣa is attained by those who practice unceasingly the brilliant triad of knowledge, faith, and conduct. Among these, exact knowledge which comes from a summary or detailed study of the principles, ī, etc., is called ‘right-knowledge� (ⲹñԲ). [...] ѲԲḥpⲹⲹ-ñԲ is twofold: Ṛju and Vipula. The distinction between them may be understood to lie in purity and not being lost�.

: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra

ѲԲḥpⲹⲹ (मनःपर्यय, “telepathy�) refers to one of the five types of knowledge (ñԲ) , according to Tattvārthasūtra 1.9.—What is meant by knowledge of mental-modes (Բḥpⲹⲹ)? The crisp/ clear knowledge acquired of the concrete objects of thoughts of other persons without the assistance of mind and sensory organs is called telepathy.

How many kinds of telepathy (Բḥpⲹⲹ) are there and what are their names? There are two types of telepathy namely: 1) simple or straight telepathy (rajumati) and 2) Complex / curved (vipulamati). The differences between the two are due to purity (śܻ) and infallibility (پٲ).

What are the spatial and temporal limits of telepathy (manas-paryaya)? Concerning time, it can know from two to three destinies to innumerable destinies /states. From space viewpoint, it can know up to the limits of the space where the human beings exist.

: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 3: The Lower and middle worlds

ѲԲḥpⲹⲹ (मनःपर्यय, “telepathy�) refers to “telepathy/ mental modes reading� one of the eighteen types of extraordinary intellect (buddhi), which itself is a subclass of the eight ṛd󾱲 (extraordinary powers). These powers can be obtained by the Ārya (civilized people) in order to produce worldly miracles. The Āryas represent one of the two classes of human beings according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 3.46, the other being Mleccha (barbarians).

What is meant by extraordinary telepathy (Բḥpⲹⲹ-riddhi)? The objects of thoughts of other’s mind are cognized by telepathy directly (without the assistance of sense organs). It is of two types namely simple (ṛjܳپ) and all (vipula).

: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 8: Bondage of karmas

ѲԲḥpⲹⲹ (मनःपर्यय, “telepathy �) refers to one of the five divisions of ñ屹ṇa, or “knowledge obscuring (karmas)�, which represents one of the eight types of Prakṛti-bandha (species bondage): one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 8.� is meant by telepathy knowledge obscuring karma (ḥpⲹⲹ-屹ṇa)? The karma which obstructs the full manifestation of the telepathy knowledge is called telepathy knowledge obscuring karma. ѲԲḥpⲹⲹ is also known as ѲԲḥpⲹⲹjñānāvaraṇa or ѲԲḥpⲹⲹjñānāvaraṇīya.

: JAINpedia: Jainism

ѲԲḥpⲹ (मनःपर्या�) in Sanskrit (Maṇapajjava in Prakrit) refers to “telepathy� and represents one of the five types of knowledge, as explained in the Nandīsūtra.—The heart of the Nandī-sūtra deals with the concept of cognition or knowledge in its various divisions and subdivisions. This is also an appropriate topic for a text that transcends all categories in the Śvetāmbara canon, for it can be regarded as a prerequisite to the scriptures. First comes the list of the five types of knowledge [viz., Բḥpⲹ, “telepathy”], known from other sources as well, such as the Tattvārtha-sūtra I. 9-33.

Telepathy (Բḥpⲹ) is acquired only by human beings born in the lands of the Jain universe where karma prevails � the 첹-ū. This means humans born in the Lands of Enjoyment � Dz-ū � where the notion of spiritual progress is irrelevant, cannot achieve it. This knowledge implies the possession of right faith � ⲹ-岹śԲ � and a life of self-control, such as the one led by Jain ascetics. This type of knowledge is divided into various sub-categories depending on what it enables the individual to grasp, such as matter, space or time.
