## The Third Stage
**With Hindi Commentary**
"I say this" - until this point, the detailed description of the *āśātanās* was explained to the disciple.
**61**
Here, it is necessary to say that after knowing the *āśātanās*, they can also be rejected through rejection, because it is well known that only after knowing can one understand the objects that are *heya* (to be abandoned), *jñeya* (to be known), and *upādeya* (to be adopted). Therefore, one should abandon these *āśātanās* after knowing their consequences well.
In this way, Shri Sudharma Swami Ji says to his disciple Shri Jambu Swami, "O Jambu Swami! Just as I have heard the meaning of this stage from the Shraman Bhagwan Shri Mahavira Swami, in the same way, I have explained it to you, but I have not said anything from my own intellect."
