[118834 - Neither too concise nor too elaborate should the exposition be. For the effort of the virtuous is for the benefit of all beings, hence the purpose of this exposition of the different means of attaining knowledge. Otherwise, since "attainment through the means of proof" would suffice, the inclusion of other means would be pointless.
834. Here, with the substance of the living being as the subject, an explanation is given through the doors of the *anuyogins* beginning with *sat*. Living beings are arranged in fourteen *gunasthanas*. These are: *mithyadrishti*, *sasadan samyagdristi*, *samyamithyadrishti*, *asanyata samyagdristi*, *sanyatasanyata*, *pramattasanyata*, *apramattasanyata*, *apuurvakaranasthanavarti* *upshamak* and *kshapik*, *anivrittibaddarasamprayasthanavarti* *upshamak* and *kshapik*, *sukshmasamprayasthanavarti* *upshamak* and *kshapik*, *upshantakashayavitaragchhadmastha*, *kshinakashayavitaragchhadmastha*, *sayogkevali* and *ayogkevali*. To explain these fourteen *jivasamasas*, fourteen *marganasthanas* should be known. These are: *gati*, *indriya*, *kaya*, *yoga*, *veda*, *kashay*, *jnana*, *samyama*, *darshan*, *leshya*, *bhalya*, *samyaktva*, *sanjna* and *aaharaka*.
35. Of these, the *satprarupana* is of two types: general and specific. The general *satprarupana* is to say, "There is *mithyadrishti*, there is *sasadan samyagdristi*, etc." The specific *satprarupana* is through the *marganasthanas*. In the *narakagati*, in all the *prithivis*, there are the first four *gunasthanas*. In the *tiryangagati*, there are those same four *gunasthanas*, but with the addition of the *sanyatasanyata* *gunasthanas*. In the *manushya gati*, there are all fourteen *gunasthanas*. In the *devagati*, there are four *gunasthanas* like the *narakas*. Through the *indriyamargna*, in the *ekendriya* to *chautindriya* beings, there is only one *mithyadrishti* *gunasthanas*. In the *panchendriya* beings, there are all fourteen *gunasthanas*. Through the *kayamargna*, in the *prithivikaya* to *vanaspatikaya* beings, there is only one *mithyadrishti* *gunasthanas*. In the *trasakaya* beings, there are all fourteen *gunasthanas*. Through the *yogamargna*, in the three *yogas*, there are thirteen *gunasthanas*. After that is the *ayogkevali* *gunasthanas*.
