**On the Rejection of the Eager**

There are five [types of non-perception]. Just as an object placed inside a room is not perceived due to the covering, does that mean it doesn't exist? No, it does exist. Similarly, the far side of the moon is not visible due to the obstruction of the near side. Just as a wise person may not perceive subtle meanings of scriptures due to dullness of mind, even though they exist, so too, non-perception due to a covering. Just as planets and stars are not perceived due to the overwhelming brilliance of the sun, how can we say they don't exist? Similarly, in darkness, pots and other objects are not visible. Just as a handful of mung beans is not perceived when thrown into a heap of mung beans, or a handful of sesame seeds when thrown into a heap of sesame seeds, or salt and other things when thrown into water, even though they are present, how can we say they don't exist? Similarly, even though eight types of existing things are present, they are not perceived. Just as the existence of pudgala, jiva, etc., even though they are present and arise gradually, is not perceived due to the divergence of their nature, so too, it should be understood in all cases.

**Someone else said:** "The Devadatta, etc., mentioned here, who are in other countries, are not perceived by us, but they are perceived by some people in other countries. Therefore, their existence is known. But jiva, etc., are never perceived by anyone. How then can their existence be ascertained?"

**To this, it is said:** "Just as Devadatta, etc., are known to exist because they are perceived by some, so too, jiva, etc., are known to exist because they are perceived by the liberated ones. Just as atoms are always imperceptible, but are inferred from their effects, so too, it should be understood in all cases."

Thus, the king, having been enlightened by the arguments of the Siddhanta, and by the wise words of the sage, renounced his worldly desires. Gradually, both of them, having attained the state of Pravrajya, attained liberation.

**62. The lineage of Bhrigu and Yasas, as described in the Uttaradhyayanasutra, which is characterized by unwavering meditation.**

The two, who were friends in their previous birth, born from a painting, who were servants of the cowherds, who were devoted to the good, went to the world of the gods. From there, they fell down and were born as two brothers in a city called Ibhukula, which was established on the earth. There, they had four friends. After enjoying pleasures, and having heard the Dharma from the elders, all of them became Pravrajitas. After observing restraint for a long time, they renounced their attachments. After some time, all six friends were born as gods in the Saudharma Kalpa, in a celestial palace called Padmagulma, with a lifespan like that of a palpa. Of those four gods, excluding the two who were cowherd-born, fell down and were born in the Kuru country, in the city of Ishukara. The first one was born as the king of the Ishukara. The second one was born as the queen of the same king, named Kamlavati. The third one became the priest of the same king, named Bhrigu. The fourth one became the wife of the same priest. Her gotra was Vasishtha, and her name was Yasas. This Bhrigu, the priest, desired offspring with great longing. He worshipped many gods, and asked questions about auspicious times. The two, who were cowherd-born in their previous birth, knew this, as follows: "We will be the
