**Sarvarthasiddhi**
If we assume a distinction, even then, according to the principles of Karma Shastra, the binding of the unwholesome angopanga takes place in the Pramattasanyata and Apramattasanyata Gunasthanas. This is not possible because the binding and liberation of the unwholesome angopanga related to Strived is possible only up to the second Gunasthan. Therefore, in the present context, neither can this story from the Shatadharmakatha be considered as a basis, nor does it seem appropriate to say on this basis that "a Samyagdarshi Jiva does not take birth in Strivedis after death, this is said with respect to the majority."
After considering all these points, when we pay attention to the aforementioned statement of Sarvarthasiddhi, we have doubts about it. It points out the reason for the absence of Kshayik Samyagdarshan in Tiryanchis. It is clear that a human being who binds the Tiryanchayu and becomes Samyagdarshi, attaining Kshayik Samyagdarshan, is born in the Tiryancha of the Uttma Bhogbhumika, in the Purushavedi Tiryancha, not in the Strivedi Tiryancha. But the argument given in support of this, "Dravyavedastriṇām tāsaṁ sāyikāsam-bhavat," is not only flimsy but also misleading.
Based on this argument, the meaning of the entire sentence is that since Kshayik Samyagdarshan is not possible in Tiryancha Dravyavedi women, therefore, Kshayik Samyagdarshi Jivas are born only in the Tiryancha Purushas of the Uttma Bhogbhumika after death. Now, consider the entire context with a little more detail. The question is, in a way, the same as the solution. We need to consider why Kshayik Samyagdarshan does not occur in Tiryanchis. But it was sufficient to answer that if a bound Tiryancha human being attains Kshayik Samyagdarshan, then he is born in the Tiryancha Purushas of the Uttma Bhogbhumika after death, this is the rule. What was the need for the statement "Dravyavedastriṇām tāsaṁ kṣāyikāsam-bhavat" as a reason in support of it? This is what is called the same question and the same answer.
Secondly, the phrase "Dravyavedastriṇām" here is not in accordance with the Agama tradition and is therefore misleading, because the Agama classifies Tiryancha, Tiryanchini, and Manushya, Manushyani, and the basis of these terms is said to be the rise of Ved, Nokashaya.
We were faced with this question. We had been thinking for a long time whether this sentence is the original part of the text or whether it became a part of it later. Even after theoretical consideration, the main basis for its decision was the ancient handwritten copies. Accordingly, we started collecting copies from North India and South India and comparing the doubtful places with the printed copies. As a result, our assumption proved correct. Although this sentence is not absent in all the copies, there were some ancient copies in which this sentence was not available.
In the explanation of this sutra, another sentence "Kṣāyikaṁ punarbhavavedenaive" is printed. This sentence comes from the context of Manushyanis. It is stated that it is possible for sufficient Manushyanis to attain all three Samyagdarshans, but not for insufficient Manushyanis. This sentence was created to indicate that Kshayik Samyagdarshan of Manushyani is mainly said to be due to Bhavaved.
But it is clear that the term "Manushyani" in the Agama is used only for the Jiva of the Manushya Gati who has the rise of Strived. What is used in the world by the words Nari, Mahila, or Stri, according to the Agama, the meaning of the word Manushyani is different from that. In such a situation, if the above sentence is considered as the original, then two meanings of the word Manushyani have to be accepted. One meaning is the Manushyani who has the rise of Strived, and the other meaning has to be accepted as a woman, whether she has the rise of Strived or not.
Even such a woman who has the rise of Strived can be called Manushyani, and this sentence has come to prohibit her Kshayik Samyagdarshan. If this is said, then there seems to be no truth in this statement, because as we have said earlier, the word Manushyani is used in the Agama mainly in the sense of Bhavaved, therefore, it is fulfilled only in its own meaning. It is not its job to deal with other objections, it is mainly the subject of Charananuyoga.
