Vāgatiśaya (वागतिशय) (also known as Vacanātiśaya) refers to one of the four Mūlātiśayas or “fundamental excellences” of Mahāvīra, as used in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. I, P. 1, ll 10-11.]—The first four adjectives in this verse viz. (1) vinirjitarāga, (2) sarvajña, (3) tridaśanāthakṛtapūja and (4) sadbhūtavastuvādī resepctively connote four mūlātiśayas (fundamental excellences) of Mahāvīra. The four mūlātiśayas are: (1) apāyāpagamātiśaya; (2) jñānātiśaya (3) pūjātiśaya; (4) vacanātiśaya also known as vāgatiśaya.—For details see “The Jaina Religion and Literature (Vol II., ch. XIV)”.
