## 298] Sarvarthasiddhi
[8178] The distinction between *bhavya* and *abhavya* is based on the presence or absence of *vyakti*. Why? Because of the presence or absence of *vyakti* based on *samyagdarshana* and other things. The one who will have *vyakti* from *samyagdarshana* etc. is *bhavya*. The one who will not have it is *abhavya*. This is like the difference between gold and non-gold stones.
[8743] It has been said that there are five *uttaraprakriti* distinctions of *jnanavarana* karma. Now, the *darshanavarana* karma needs to be explained. Therefore, the next sutra says: "There are nine *darshanavarana* karma: *chakshu*, *achakshu*, *avadhi*, and *kevala* (four types of *darshanavarana*), and *nidra*, *nidranidra*, *prachala*, *prachala-prachala*, and *styanagrudhi* (five types of *nidra* etc.)" ||7||
[8744] This explains the distinction based on the *darshanavarana* of *chakshu*, *achakshu*, *avadhi*, and *kevala*: *chakshudarshanavarana*, *achakshudarshanavarana*, *avhidarshanavarana*, and *kevaladarshanavarana*. *Mad*, *khed*, *klama*, and *vinoda* are the causes of *swapa* (sleep). *Nidra* is the absence of these. **Doubt:** If this is the case, then how can there be a distinction between *bhavya* and *abhavya* because both have the power of *manahparyaya* and *kevalajnana*? **Solution:** The distinction between *bhavya* and *abhavya* is not based on the presence or absence of the power of *manahparyaya* and *kevalajnana*. **Doubt:** Then on what basis is this distinction made? **Solution:** This distinction is made based on the presence or absence of *vyakti*. The one who has *vyakti* from *samyagdarshana* etc., like gold and other stones, is *bhavya*. The one who does not have it is *abhavya*.
**Special Note:** Here, five *uttarabheda* of *jnanavarana* karma are mentioned. Originally, there is only one *jnana*. These five distinctions are obtained due to the characteristics of the *avarana*. In the *Dhavala* commentary, the example of the sun and the cloud is given to explain this. It is explained that just as even when the sun is covered by very dense clouds, some rays of the sun still shine through the clouds, similarly, even when *kevalajnanavarana* karma is covered, some knowledge still shines through. This is what gives rise to the four *uttaravarana* karma. Thus, there are five *jnanavarana* karma in total, which are found in both *bhavya* and *abhavya*. In the scriptures, the terms *bhavya* and *abhavya* are given based on the specific type of *bandha*. These distinctions of the *jiva* should be understood based on this. There is no other cause for these distinctions. *Bandha* is of two types: one type of *bandha* is *anadi* and *ananta* (beginningless and endless) in relation to the offspring, and the other type is *anadi* and *santa* (beginningless and finite). Those *jiva* who have *anadi-ananta* *bandha* of karma are called *abhavya*, and those who have *anadi-santa* *bandha* are considered *bhavya*. Therefore, even though the power is the same for all *jiva*, there is a difference in its manifestation. In the scriptures, the example of gold and blind stones is given to explain this distinction. This example also supports the above statement. Thus, it has been explained why there are five distinctions of *jnanavarana* karma.
[8743] The *uttaraprakriti* distinctions of *jnanavarana* karma have been explained. Now, the *darshanavarana* karma needs to be explained. Therefore, the next sutra says: "There are nine *darshanavarana* karma: *chakshu*, *achakshu*, *avadhi*, and *kevala* (four types of *darshanavarana*), and *nidra*, *nidranidra*, *prachala*, *prachala-prachala*, and *styanagrudhi* (five types of *nidra* etc.)" ||7||
[8744] This explains the distinction based on the *darshanavarana* of *chakshu*, *achakshu*, *avadhi*, and *kevala*: *chakshudarshanavarana*, *achakshudarshanavarana*, *avhidarshanavarana*, and *kevaladarshanavarana*. *Mad*, *khed*, *klama*, and *vinoda* are the causes of *swapa* (sleep). *Nidra* is the absence of these.
