**Sarvarthasiddhi**
[112 12-
**Srag Samyagdarshan** is characterized by the expression of compassion, faith, etc., while **Vitrag Samyagdarshan** is the pure state of the soul.
**Special Meaning:** This sutra, while pointing out the characteristics of Samyagdarshan, explains that Samyagdarshan is the belief in the substances like the soul, etc. While explaining this sutra, the commentary mainly clarifies four points. These four points are: (1) How the word "Tattvarth" is derived by pointing out the etymological meaning of the words "Tattva" and "Artha"? (2) Why is the meaning of the root "Drish" taken as "belief"? (3) What is the benefit of accepting both the words "Tattva" and "Artha"? (4) How many types of Samyagdarshan are there and what is their nature?
Although "Tat" is a pronoun in the original text and the suffix "Tva" is used in the sense of "state", the word "Tattva" refers to the general state, and the word "Artha" refers to the substance. However, the word "Artha" has many meanings like wealth, purpose, meaning, cessation, subject, type, and object, etc. Therefore, believing in all these cannot be called Samyagdarshan. That is why the sutrakar has not included only the word "Artha" in the sutra. Similarly, the word "Tattva" has many meanings in different schools of thought. Vaisheshika people take "Tattva" as existence, substance, quality, and action. In their view, both general and particular are considered independent substances. Now, if only the word "Tattva" is included in the sutra, then believing in existence, substance, quality, and action can also be considered Samyagdarshan, which is not appropriate. Therefore, the sutrakar has not included only the word "Tattva" in the sutra. Similarly, the Parambrahmavadis have not accepted various tattvas but have considered only one tattva called Brahma. According to their view, this world is only in the form of a person. Therefore, considering this, the word "Tattva" becomes the word for one Brahma, which is not appropriate. Therefore, the sutrakar has not included only the word "Tattva" in the sutra. Here, all those substances like the soul, etc., are taken from Tattvartha, which are described in the fourth sutra. The meaning of this sutra is that believing in the ultimate reality is Samyagdarshan.
The word "Darshan" is used in Samyagdarshan. One meaning of it is "light". However, here its meaning is taken as "belief" because if the meaning of "Darshan" is taken as "light", then it is obtained by all beings due to the eye, etc., which is not appropriate in the original text. But the belief in self-interest is found only in some near-liberated beings, which is useful in the original text. Therefore, here the meaning of "Darshan" is not taken as "light" but as "belief". The intention is that the soul, which is one, undivided, and eternal in three times, is being manifested in the nine substances like the soul, etc. Therefore, the experience of this own soul is Samyagdarshan. Every soul is itself the nature of knowledge. Therefore, the experience of knowledge is the experience of the soul, and that is Samyagdarshan. This is the meaning.
Therefore, the two types of Samyagdarshan that have been mentioned - one is Srag Samyagdarshan and the other is Vitrag Samyagdarshan - are such things as calmness, emotion, compassion, and faith, which are indicative of the ultimate reality of Samyagdarshan, which is the purity of the soul. Therefore, from this perspective, they are also Samyagdarshan in practice. But those who know this as the ultimate reality are mistaken. The rule is that all those things that are synonymous with Samyagdarshan, etc., are self-evident, eternal, infinite, and always shining due to karma, and they arise only from the soul, which is the source of their own use. That is why, in error, the nature-synonymous Samyagdarshan has been called only the purity of the soul, because it does not occur in the rise of karma like falsehood, etc., but only when they are calmed, destroyed, and destroyed. It is certain that this Samyagdarshan is also found in the fourth and other gunasthanas. Therefore, the feelings of calmness, etc., which are dependent on its existence, are...
