The Tavartha Sutra 9. (27) defines meditation, concentration, and the state of the meditator, which includes three distinct elements that must each be considered independently. From this perspective, neither of the two texts is appropriate. No meaning can be derived from the Vēṇṭāmbara Sutra 10.2. The commentary on Sutra 10.1 reveals that this sutra should be connected with Sutra 10.1 since it mentions the causes of liberation from life. The causes for the manifestation of Kevala knowledge are mentioned in Sutra 10.1, which is sufficient to express the state of liberation from life, rendering Sutra 10.2 seemingly unnecessary. Furthermore, this also leads to contradictions. In the state of Sagakevalī, three types of yoga persist until the end, indicating that the cause of Irīyāpathika bondage remains present even at this time. However, the state of bondage exists for a very brief period. Thus, the statement "the absence of bondage causes the attainment of Sagakevalī" is not definitive. In part of Sutra 10.9, there is a reference to "tvamāva-vottara-cātur-mātaḥ." The meaning derived from "kṣetramāṇa" suggests that Sutra 10.1 should also be considered as a cause of videhamukti, casting doubt on Sutra 10.2. Therefore, the Digambara text which clearly expresses the Jain position is appropriate.
