The **Sarvarthasiddhi** states that there are six types of **avadhi jnana** (clairvoyance) based on the cause of **kshaya** (destruction of karmas) and **upasama** (sublimation of karmas), which are experienced by the remaining beings, namely humans and animals.
**[22]** 8215. When the **deshghati spardhakas** (enemies of the country) of **avadhi jnana avarana** (veil of clairvoyance) arise, the **sarvaghati spardhakas** (enemies of all) do not arise, this is **kshaya**. The **sadavastah** (permanent state) of those who have attained **anudaya** (non-arising) is **upasama**. These two are the causes of this, hence **kshayopasama nimitta** (cause of destruction and sublimation). This should be known for the **sesha** (remaining beings). Who are the **sesha**? Humans and animals. Among them, it should be known only for those who have the **samarthyam** (capacity). For those who are **asanjni** (unconscious) and **aparyaptakas** (inadequate), this **samarthyam** does not exist. Even among the **sanjnis** (conscious) and **paryaptakas** (adequate), it does not exist for all. Who then? When the **samyagdarshana** (right faith) and other **nimittas** (causes) are present, those whose **karma** is **shanta** (calm) and **kshina** (diminished) have this **upalabdhi** (perception). Even though **avadhi jnana** is only caused by **kshayopasama**, the term **kshayopasama** is used in the sutra to establish the rule that only **kshayopasama** is the cause, not **bhavam** (becoming). This **avadhi** is of six types, why? Because of the difference between **anugami** (following), **ananugami** (not following), **vardhaman** (increasing), **hiyaman** (decreasing), **avasthita** (stable), and **anavasthita** (unstable).
Some **avadhi jnana**, like the light of the sun, follows its master. Some **avadhi jnana** does not follow, but like the words of a man who answers a question from a man who has turned away, it is left behind, the man who has turned away does not receive it. Similarly, this **avadhi jnana** is also left behind. Some **avadhi jnana**, like the fire that is born from the churning of wood and grows with the addition of dry leaves, increases from the amount it is born in, due to the presence of **samyagdarshana** and other qualities, until it reaches the capacity to know countless worlds. Some **avadhi jnana**, like the flame of a fire with a limited supply of fuel, decreases from the amount it is born in, due to the increase in **sanklesha parinamas** (results of karmas) caused by the loss of **samyagdarshana** and other qualities, until it reaches the capacity to know only an infinitesimal part of an angula (finger). Some **avadhi jnana**, like a **linga** (sign), remains the same amount it is born in, neither decreasing nor increasing, due to the **avasthana** (state) of **samyagdarshana** and other qualities.
