It has been done. The disciple asks - which, surely, they, the elders, the Bhagavants, twenty, of non-concentration, the place, the exposition have done. The teacher answers - these, surely, they, the elders, the Bhagavants, twenty, of non-concentration, the place, the exposition have done, as:

**Commentary:** In this Sutra, the first point is shown that what subject is described in the first 'Dasha', the second is that how to make that subject clear. First of all, the teacher has described that in this world and Jain-Shasana, the elder Bhagavants have expounded twenty places of non-concentration. The disciple asked which twenty places of non-concentration have been expounded by the elder Bhagavants? The teacher answered that they are described further.

Now the question arises that what are the characteristics of 'Samadhi' and 'Asamadhi'? In answer, it is said - 'Samadhanam Samadhischetasaha Svasthyam Mokshamargea-vasthanamityarthaha'. The health-feeling of the mind and the attachment to the path of liberation is called Samadhi; that is, the one who does the work that brings peace to the mind and makes it move towards liberation, he (liberation) can achieve it, it is called Samadhi. The one who is opposite to this is called 'Asamadhi-Sthan'. The reasons due to which 'Asamadhi' arises are called 'Asamadhi-Sthan'.
Now the question arises that how many and which are the main divisions of Asamadhi? The answer is that although there are many divisions of 'Asamadhi', but the main divisions are considered to be two - 1- 'Dravya-Asamadhi' and 2- 'Bhav-Asamadhi'.
