## The Fifth Stage (Panchami Dasha)
**With Hindi Commentary**
One who has abandoned desires, who endures the most severe hardships, who tolerates divine afflictions (upasarga), who practices all seventeen types of restraint (samyama) with complete dedication, who engages in twelve types of austerities (tapa), and who is constantly striving, attains **Avadhi-Jnana** (clairvoyance). Through this Avadhi-Jnana, they perceive all material objects in the world, and their mind becomes filled with the peaceful bliss of Samadhi (meditation). However, it is crucial to remember that only an individual possessing these qualities can attain Avadhi-Jnana and the Samadhi that arises from it. Therefore, one should strive diligently to cultivate these qualities.
Now, the Sutrakar (author of the sutras) describes the subject of Avadhi-Darshan (clairvoyance):
**Tavasā Avahattule'ssassa Daṇsaṇam Parisujjhai |
Uḍḍham Ahe Tiriyaṁ Ca Savvam Anupassati || 6 ||**
**Translation:**
**Tavasā -** Through austerity (tapa), **Avahattu-le'ssassa -** of one who has destroyed or removed the dark (krishna) and other inauspicious blemishes (leshya), **Daṇsaṇam -** Avadhi-Darshan (clairvoyance), **Parisujjhai -** becomes pure (nirmal), and then **Uḍḍham -** the upper realms (urdha-lok), **Ahe -** the lower realms (adho-lok), **Ca -** and **Tiriyaṁ -** the realms of the transmigrating beings (tiryak-lok), **Savvam -** all, **Anupassati -** they perceive.
**Meaning:**
One who has eradicated inauspicious blemishes through austerity attains pure Avadhi-Darshan. With this clairvoyance, they can perceive all beings and objects in the upper, lower, and transmigrating realms.
**Commentary:**
This Sutra states that when an individual purifies their soul by removing dark and other inauspicious blemishes through austerity, their Avadhi-Darshan becomes pure. With this pure vision, they can perceive the true nature of all beings and objects in the upper, lower, and transmigrating realms.
