## Seventh Dasha
**With Hindi Commentary**
**287**
They have been taken. For example, he obtains knowledge of the duration of time (avadhi-jnana) or knowledge of the mind (manah-paryav-jnana) or knowledge of the unmanifested (kevala-jnana) which was not present before. In this way, this one-night monk-image, as stated in the scriptures, is truly observed, nurtured, purified, perfected, celebrated, and worshipped by the body according to its conduct and path of knowledge, etc., and is continuously followed by the command of the Lord.
**Commentary:** This sutra states that the monk who properly worships this twelfth image obtains three invaluable things. He certainly obtains one of these three qualities: knowledge of the duration of time, knowledge of the mind, and knowledge of the unmanifested, because in this image he destroys the great group of karmas. Therefore, this image is for benefit, for good karma, for power, for liberation, or for obtaining knowledge, etc., that will accompany him in the future. The purpose of this image is to obtain these or the aforementioned three types of knowledge. _This one-night monk-image is truly as stated in the scriptures, according to its conduct and path of knowledge, etc., and is endowed with whatever its destructive and pacifying aspects are. It should be properly observed by the body, nurtured for use, purified from transgressions, perfected until the duration of time, and celebrated and worshipped by the scriptures on the days of fasting, etc., following the command of the Lord. Because through this image, the soul certainly achieves the desired result. This statement has fully established Hatha Yoga or Raja Yoga._
Now the sutra-maker concludes the present study by saying:
"Thus, these twelve monk-images have been established by the Lord for the monks."
**Thus ends the Seventh Dasha named "Monk-Image."**
