The Tattvārthasūtra has multiple parts. When two parts are more, it is called "ṭharādhika," and when three parts are more, it is called "vyadhika." In this way, when there are four parts more, it is called "chaturdhika," and it goes on to infinity. "When the number of parts on both sides is equal, it is called 'sam' (equal). Two parts are in the state of 'jaghajetara' as sam; there are two parts in the state 'jaghan'yatar.' When two parts are in the state 'jātsar' there are three parts in the state 'jadhanyatar,' and four parts in the state 'ṭhaydhika.' When two parts are in the state 'jaghajetara,' five parts are in the state 'jadhanyatar,' and six parts are in the state 'chaturdhika.' In this way, it should be understood as sam, ekādhika, vyadhika, and triādhi with respect to the infinite parts. [34-35] Now, the form of the result is:
Bound is samādhi, and parināmika. 36.
At the time of bondage, one experiences the results of sam and adhika, as well as the results of sam and hīna.
A question arises regarding the method and prohibition of bondage, asking which atoms produce results among those that are bound or unbound. The answer is given here. 1. In the Digambara tradition, "vadhī parināmi" is the sutra passage; according to this, gaining one sam from another sam in its own form is not desired; only gaining hīna in the form of an adhika father is desired.
