2] "All-purpose accomplishment is the goal, but the means are not clear." This is a statement that is both true and false, because it is without form. "The destruction of the qualities of intellect, etc., is the liberation of the soul." This is also a false assumption, because there is no such thing as a thing without a specific characteristic. "The extinction of the lamp is the extinction of the soul." This is also a false assumption, because it is like the idea of a donkey having horns, which is a mere figment of the imagination. We will discuss the true nature of this in the next chapter. 83. They also disagree about the means of attaining it. Some say that liberation is attained through knowledge alone, without any need for conduct. Others say that it is attained through faith alone. Still others say that it is attained through conduct alone, without any need for knowledge. But just as the mere knowledge, faith, or conduct of a medicine is not a means of curing a disease for a sick person, so too, knowledge, etc., are not means of attaining liberation. The knowledge is absent. But such consciousness, being the true nature, is also false, because if one believes this, it does not acquire any form, i.e., its own nature, as a characteristic of its own activity. (2. Vaisheshika) The destruction of the special qualities of intellect, etc., is the liberation of the soul. But this assumption is also inappropriate, because there is no such thing as a thing without a specific characteristic. (3. Buddhist) Just as a lamp goes out, so too, the extinction of the soul's offspring is liberation. But just as a donkey's horns are only a matter of imagination and not a real thing, so too, this kind of liberation is only a matter of imagination and not a real thing. This is evident from their own statements. And so on. We will discuss the faultless nature of this liberation later (in the tenth chapter, verse 2). 83. In the same way, these proponents also argue about the subject of its attainment. Some believe that (1) liberation is attained through knowledge independent of conduct. Others believe that (2) liberation is attained through faith alone. And others believe that (3) liberation is attained through conduct independent of knowledge. But just as the mere knowledge, faith, or conduct of a medicine is not a means of curing a disease for a sick person, so too, separate knowledge, etc., are not means of attaining liberation. Special Note - What has been explained so far is the essence of the Tattvartha Sutra and its first verse. It first points out the reason for its composition. The intention is that a certain soul, in search of the welfare of the soul, went to a secluded and pleasant hermitage and there, in the assembly of the monks, asked a question of the Nirgrantha Acharya. From this, the Tattvartha Sutra was composed. This is also confirmed by the introduction given at the beginning of the Tattvartha Vartika. But there, after pointing out the first verse, another meaning is also mentioned. It is stated there that others explain the composition of the Tattvartha Sutra in this way: "The power of men is declining here, so in order to reveal the process of the principles, the composition of the scriptures begins in a sequential order in relation to the instruction of the path of liberation, and the verse "Samyagdarshanjnanacharitrani mokshamargah" is said."

Just as a lamp, when it is extinguished, does not go to the forest, nor to the sky. It does not go to any direction, nor to any direction, it only goes to peace because of the loss of attachment.
