## Sarvarthasiddhi
Here, first of all, we need to consider whether it can be concluded from the said sutra that the sutra text accepted by the Tattvarthabhasya is the original and the sutra text accepted by the Sarvarthasiddhi was created by improving or expanding it. It is clear that there has been a change in one of the texts, but it is worth considering which text the change is possible in. As we see, according to the Digambara tradition, the types of Kalpopapann Dev are always counted as twelve and the Kalpas as sixteen. Kalpa is a special name for the dwelling place of Kalpopapann Dev. If there are twelve types of Kalpopapann Dev, but their dwelling places are considered to be sixteen types, then what is the problem in this? And on this basis, how can it be said that the sutra text accepted by the Sarvarthasiddhi has been improved? If it was desirable to improve it, then in chapter 4, sutra 3, 'twelve' could have been replaced with 'sixteen'. On the contrary, it can only be said that Pujyapada Swami protected the text he received as it was. On the other hand, when we pay attention to the text accepted by the Tattvarthabhasya, even then it does not seem possible to reach any conclusion based on this sutra. Because there also, in this sutra, there is no such strong reason for reduction or increase that it can be said that the said sutra has been changed. The acharyas of both traditions are firm in their own tradition's beliefs, so on this basis, it can only be said that it is possible to improve the sutras by the one who composed them in later times. Secondly, there is a sutra that advocates consideration in Sanatkumar etc. The position of this sutra in both is as follows:
* **Sarva** : Seshaah Sparsarupashabdamanahpraveechaaraah.
* **Tattvabhasya** : Seshaah Sparsarupashabdamanahpraveechaaraah dwayordwayoh.
We see that according to the Tattvarthabhasya, this sutra has the extra word 'dwayordwayoh', while it is completely absent in the Sarvarthasiddhi. Before this, in both traditions, the sutra 'Kayapraveechaaraah Aa Aishanaat' comes. This establishes the provision of praveechaar till the Saudharma and Aishana Kalpas. Further, according to the Sarvarthasiddhi, fourteen and according to the Tattvarthabhasya, ten Kalpas remain, in which this sutra establishes the provision of praveechaar. In the present case, it is to be seen how the consistency of this is established in both the Sarvarthasiddhi and the Tattvarthabhasya. It is clear that in the Sarvarthasiddhi, due to the absence of the word 'dwayordwayoh', Acharya Pujyapada did not face any difficulty in explaining it. He explained it according to the Aarsh and got rid of it. But the situation of the Tattvarthabhasyakar is completely different. Due to the word 'dwayordwayoh' in front of him, while explaining it, there was a problem that how to establish the consistency of this, as there are four subjects of praveechaar and ten Kalpas. As a result, he was forced to consider the last four Kalpas as two to explain this sutra. He tried to explain it somehow, but the inconsistency that arises from this cannot be removed in any way. This shows that he himself, relying on the Tattvarthabhasya, with the intention of clarifying this sutra, added this word to the sutra. Here, the possibility of the latter alternative is more.
We have found one or two more places where the consistency of the sutras has been established relying on the Tattvarthabhasya. For example, take the word 'Yathoktanimittaah'. This comes in the 22nd sutra of the first chapter. Before this, they have said the sutra 'Dvividho'vadhih' with the difference of one sutra, and they have explained these differences through this sutra. In the present case, the word 'Yathokt' in the word 'Yathoktanimittaah' refers to this bhasya. They want to say through this word that the remaining beings have six types of avadhi knowledge due to the nimitta which we have referred to in the bhasya of the sutra 'Dvividho'vadhih'. But in that situation, when the sutra composition has already been done and the bhasya has been written later, the situation of the bhasyakar becomes doubtful. And it has to be accepted that the Tattvarthabhasyakar, Vaachik Umaswati, has tried to improve the ancient sutra text.
The third is the sutra that accepts the existence of time. This is in both the Sarvarthasiddhi and the Tattvarthabhasya.
