Jayati (जयति) refers to “(that which) is victorious”, as used in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 1, l. 10.]—‘Jayati’ means ‘is victorious’. Mammata has used this in the sense ‘I salute’ in his Kāvyaprakāśa (I, l), for, whoever is victorious is honoured and saluted for the outstanding merits that led to his success or on the practical principle that ‘nothing succeeds like success’. Haribhadra has used ‘jayati’ in two senses (vide p. 3 of his commentary): (i) he subdues-vanquishes and (ii) he surpasses all on account of his guṇas. Here the word ‘guṇa’ may mean virtue, merit or excellence. The first sense is explained in two ways: (a) the act of subduing which was done in a state prior to the attainment of omniscience or salvation is here figuratively referred to as the present one and (b) the result obtained by vanquishing the karmans is still there; for, the greatness accruing from it has not perished. The second sense is derived by the author on the ground that ‘a root in Sanskrit has more than one meaning’.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
