It is the opposite of the stability of substances, it does not believe in this world and the other world, it says that this world is not, the other world is not, there is no mother, no father, no Arihant, no Chakravarti, no Baladeva, no Vasudeva, no Narakiya, there is no fruit of good and bad karmas, there are no good fruits of good karmas and bad fruits of bad karmas, there is no fruit of welfare and sin, the soul does not take birth in the other world, there is no place from hell to moksha, it says like this, this is its knowledge and vision, in this way it has established its opinions in attachment, that is, its intellect is situated in the above subjects.
Commentary - In this sutra, the vision of Mithya-darshana (false belief) is described, because without the knowledge of Mithya-darshana, the devotee cannot attain Samyag-darshana (right belief). Knowledge of Mithya-darshana is necessary before Samyag-darshana, so it is appropriate and justified to describe it here first. Mithya-darshana is the complete opposite of Samyag-darshana, with its help the knowledge of Samyag-darshana can easily be obtained. There are two types of Mithya-darshana - Abhigrahika and Anabhigrahika. Adhering to Mithya-darshana stubbornly or forcefully is Abhigrahika Mithya-darshana, and the common Mithya-darshana of conscious and unconscious beings is called Anabhigrahika Mithya-darshana. The author describes it in this way:
Kriya-vada is the name of Astika-vada. This is Samyag-darshana, and denying the existence of substances like Jiva etc. is Nastika-vada, which is Mithya-darshana. In Akriya-vada, there are both Bhavya (capable of liberation) and Abhavya (incapable of liberation) individuals, but in Kriya (Astika) vada, there are only Bhavya souls. Some of them are also Shukla Pakshika, because they will attain Siddha gati within the Utkrista-Ardha-Paravartana. But even such individuals, due to being Samsari for a long time, sometimes enter Akriya-vada for some time. At that time, they establish their doctrine that the soul is not a substance at all. Except for the five elements, there is no divine power in the world,
