## Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra
If it arises, then samadhi arises in the mind. If the knowledge of the sign, knowledge, species, and memory, which was not previously born, is born, then by it, remembering its old species, it can attain samadhi. If the samya-bhava, the vision of the gods, is not previously born, then if it arises, then by seeing the chief devarddhi, dev-dyuti, and chief dev-anubhava of the gods, it can attain samadhi. If the knowledge of avadhi is not previously born, then if it arises, then by it, seeing the nature of the loka, the mind can attain samadhi.

## Commentary
In this sutra, while relying on the vyavahar nay, the places of bhava-samadhi have been described. The root cause of all samadhis is jnana-samadhi, therefore, the sutrakar has first described it. In this anadi and anant samsara-chakra, every being has had to come in the cycle of birth and death countless times, and in every birth, falling under the sway of meaningless anxieties, they have wasted their pure life. Coming into the world, man becomes afflicted by many anxieties, such as: desire-anxiety, enjoyment-anxiety, home-anxiety, business-anxiety, son-anxiety, wife-anxiety, wealth-anxiety, grain-anxiety, relative-anxiety, and friend-anxiety, etc., but his attention does not go towards dharma-anxiety. Therefore, the sutrakar says that if there is no feeling of dharma in the past, and if there is a tendency towards it in the present, then man can know the dharma in the form of shruta and charitra well through that dharma-anxiety.
The question arises: what is the meaning of that dharma word, by thinking about which samadhi is attained? In answer, it is said that that which makes known the real nature of things is called dharma. It is by the knowledge of it that the soul attains the extraordinary bliss; that is called bhava-samadhi. It (dharma) is of many kinds, due to the difference of village, city, nation, etc. First of all, one should know the dharma of production (origin), consumption, and dhrauvya form of every object. After that, one should transform it into the form of heya, jneya, and upadeha, and experience in the mind that because the statement of the omniscient is non-contradictory in the past and future, because it is a good indicator of things, and because it is unparalleled,
