Chapter One
[67
8161. According to the translation of the term "āhāras," the number of "āhārakas" is like that of the "kāyayogis." Among the "anāhārakas," the "sayogakevalis" are the fewest. The "ayogakevalis" are countless times more than them. The "sāsādanasamyakdṛṣṭis" are countless times more than them. The "asamyatasamyagdṛṣṭis" are countless times more than them. The "mithyādṛṣṭis" are infinitely more than them.

The meaning of "mati" derived from its etymology is: "Indriyas and manas perceive objects according to their nature, by which they contemplate, or simply contemplation is called 'mati'." The meaning of "śruta" derived from its etymology is: "When the covering karma of "āvaraṇa" is destroyed and subsided, the object that is being investigated is heard by this, or simply hearing is called 'śruta'." The mention of "mati" and "śruta" together is because there is a cause-and-effect relationship between them. As it will be said later, "śruta is preceded by mati." The meaning of "avadhi" derived from its etymology is: "Knowledge of objects that are not hidden due to lack of speech or due to being covered." "Manas" is said to be the mind that is not related to others. Due to its association, its "paryaya"
