## Chapter Ten
[373 The absence of Dharma-astikaya] ||8|| 6 935. Dharma-astikaya, the cause of the attainment of motion, is not present in the liberated soul, therefore there is no movement beyond the Lokanta. In the absence of that, the absence of the division of Lok and Alok is implied.
8936. It is said that these liberated souls, due to the absence of the causes of motion, birth, etc., are devoid of any distinction. However, there is some distinction, because
the liberated souls can be classified based on:
* Kshetra (region)
* Kala (time)
* Gati (motion)
* Linga (gender)
* Tirtha (pilgrimage)
* Charitra (conduct)
* Pratyekabuddha (self-enlightened)
* Bodhitabuddha (enlightened by another)
* Jnana (knowledge)
* Avagahana (understanding)
* Antara (difference)
* Sankhya (number)
* Alp-bahutva (fewness-manyness) ||9||
8937. The liberated souls are classified based on these thirteen Anuyoga (principles), which are considered as Sadhya (achievable) and Vikalpya (optional). This classification is based on the two Nayas (perspectives) of Anugraha (grace) for the present and the past. For example, with respect to Kshetra (region), in which region do they attain liberation? According to the perspective of the present, liberation is attained in the Siddhi-Kshetra (region of liberation), in one's own region, or in the region of space. According to the perspective of the past, with respect to birth, liberation is attained in the fifteen Karma-bhumis (regions of action), and with respect to the end of the cycle of births and deaths, liberation is attained in the Manushya-Kshetra (human region). With respect to Kala (time), in which time is liberation attained? According to the perspective of the present, one attains liberation while being in the state of liberation. According to the perspective of the past, with respect to birth, one attains liberation when born in the Utsarpini (ascending) or Avasarpini (descending) time cycle. Specifically, in the Avasarpini time cycle, one attains liberation when born in the last part of the Sushma (prosperity) or the Dushama (adversity) period, or when born in the Dushama-Sushma (adversity-prosperity) period. One does not attain liberation when born in the Dushama (adversity) period. And one does not attain liberation in any other time period. With respect to the end of the cycle of births and deaths, one attains liberation in all the time periods of the Utsarpini and Avasarpini. With respect to Gati (motion), in which motion is liberation attained? Liberation is attained in the Siddhi-Gati (motion of liberation) or the Manushya-Gati (human motion).
