**Non-fall (A-pratipat) and Fall (Pratipat)**
For a being with subdued passions, the peak of restraint (Samyama) falls due to the arising of passions, resulting in a fall (Pratipat). For a being with weakened passions, there is no cause for a fall, hence non-fall (A-pratipat).
**Purity (Vishuddhi) and Non-fall (A-pratipat)**
Purity (Vishuddhi) and non-fall (A-pratipat) are both forms of pure non-fall (Vishuddhi-A-pratipat). There is a difference between these two, which is their specific characteristic (Tadvishesha).
**Purity (Vishuddhi)**
Purity (Vishuddhi) is purer in terms of substance, space, time, and state, with respect to both direct perception (Rjumati) and vast perception (Vipulmati).
**How?**
The final infinite part of the karmic substance, which is the object of omniscience, when further divided infinitely, the final part obtained is the object of direct perception (Rjumati). And when this object of direct perception (Rjumati) is further divided infinitely, the final part obtained is the object of vast perception (Vipulmati). This is because infinity has infinite divisions.
Thus, purity (Vishuddhi) is said to be in terms of substance, space, and time. Purity (Vishuddhi) in terms of state should be understood as being the object of increasingly subtle substances, due to the increasingly refined destruction and pacification of passions.
**Non-fall (A-pratipat)**
Non-fall (A-pratipat) is also distinguished by vast perception (Vipulmati), as it is the rising of the character of its possessors.
**Direct Perception (Rjumati)**
Direct perception (Rjumati) is prone to fall (Pratipati), as it is the rising of the character of its possessors due to the arising of passions.
**Special Note:**
Here, the difference between the two types of knowledge (Manas-paryaya) is shown. Direct perception (Rjumati) is gross knowledge, and vast perception (Vipulmati) is subtle knowledge. This clarifies the difference between them. This is the purified state. This makes a difference in the knowledge of the object in terms of substance, space, time, and state.
However, there is another reason for the difference between these two types of knowledge, which is called fall (Pratipat) and non-fall (A-pratipat). Fall (Pratipat) means to fall, and non-fall (A-pratipat) means not to fall.
It is a rule that vast perception (Vipulmati) is the knowledge of the Manas-paryaya of those who, while being destined for liberation, ascend to the category of destruction (Kshapaka), but there is no such rule for direct perception (Rjumati). It can be the Manas-paryaya of those who are destined for liberation, as well as others. Similarly, it can be the Manas-paryaya of those who ascend to the category of destruction (Kshapaka), as well as those who do not ascend to that category but ascend to the category of pacification (Upashama) or do not ascend at all.
Therefore, direct perception (Rjumati) is considered prone to fall (Pratipati), and vast perception (Vipulmati) is considered non-fall (A-pratipati). This characteristic is due to merit, hence it is mentioned separately.
**§ 221. If this Manas-paryaya knowledge has this distinct difference, then what is the reason for the difference between omniscience (Avadhi) and Manas-paryaya knowledge? Now, to explain this, the next sutra says...**
