## Aaturpratyakhyanaprakirnakam, Chapter 1
**He who has renounced the world and is free from the desire to harm even a single being.**
**Sammādiṭṭhi** - The vision of truth, which is the opposite of wrong views, and is characterized by faith in the principles. One who possesses this vision is called **Samyagdṛṣṭi**.
**Marījatti** - To die, to attain the fivefold state of death.
**Jo jīvoti** - The Śrāvaka Jīva (lay follower).
**Tam hoi bālapandīyamaraṇam ti** - In this doctrine, death is described in many ways. For example:
**1.** **Āvīci, Ohi, Antīya, Valāimaraṇam, Vasatṭamaraṇam, and Cha.**
**2.** **Antosalla, Tabbhava, Bāla, Tah, Paṇḍiya, Mīsa.** [Uttara. Niryu 212]
**3.** **Chaumattvamaraṇam, Kevali, Vehāṇasa, Giddhapaṭṭha, and Maraṇam.**
**4.** **Maraṇam, Bhattapariṇṇā, Iṅgiṇī, Pāova, and Gamaṇam.** [Uttara. Niyu, 213]
This is further classified into five types:
**1.** **Bālabālamaraṇam** (death of a very young child)
**2.** **Bālamaraṇam** (death of a child)
**3.** **Bālapandītamaraṇam** (death of a child who is wise)
**4.** **Paṇḍītamaraṇam** (death of a wise person)
**5.** **Paṇḍītapaṇḍītamaraṇam** (death of a very wise person)
**Explanation:**
* **Mithyādrṣṭi** (wrong view) leads to **Bālabālamaraṇam**.
* **Avirata Samyagdṛṣṭi** (unwavering right view) leads to **Bālamaraṇam**.
* **Deśayater** (one who teaches) leads to **Bālapandītamaraṇam**.
* **Chhadmasthāyater** (one who is deceitful) leads to **Paṇḍītamaraṇam**.
* **Kevalin** (the liberated soul) leads to **Paṇḍītapaṇḍītamaraṇam**.
In this text, the middle term is taken as inclusive of the first and last terms, as per the **Tulādandannyāya** (principle of balance).
Therefore, the death described here as **Deśayati** is considered **Bālapandītamaraṇam** in the Jina doctrine, as the other doctrines do not mention the terms **Bāla** etc.
Since there is no complete renunciation in the other doctrines, **Bāla** refers to one who has not renounced gross violence, and **Paṇḍita** refers to one who has renounced gross violence. **Bāla** and **Paṇḍita** together are called **Bālapandīta**, and therefore, the death resulting from their combination is also called **Bālapandītamaraṇam**.
**So.**: Now, the **Aaturpratyakhyānāvacūra** (the essence of renouncing the desire to harm) is explained.
**De.**: It is said that the final stage of life is like the tip of a nine-pronged spear,
