[Fourteen Standpoints - Samavaya]
[41 In the Kriyavishal-Purva, a detailed description of various arts and mental, verbal, and physical actions has been given. In the Lokabindu-sar, the nature of the world and the subtle analysis of the three jewels of Dharma, which are the causes of liberation, has been done.
94 - The fourteen objects of the Aggrayaniya Purva have been stated. The excellent Shraman-sampada of the Shraman Bhagwan Mahavira was of fourteen thousand Sadhus.
95 - Fourteen Jeeva-sthana have been stated in relation to the means of investigating the purification (elimination) of karma, such as - Mithyadrishti, Sasayan Samyagdristi, Samyagmithyadrishti, Avirat Samyagdristi, Viratavirat, Pramattasanyat, Apramattasanyat, Nivrittibaddar, Anivrittibaddar, Suhumasampray-Upasamaka and Kshapaka, Upashantamoha, Khinamoha, Sayogikevali, and Ayogikevali.
Discussion - The above fourteen Jeeva-sthana, as stated in the Sutra, are known as Gunasthana. Their brief description is as follows:
1. Mithyadrishti Gunasthana - From the beginningless time, the vision, interest, perception, or faith of this Jeeva has been false or opposite due to the arising of Mithyatvamohaniya karma. Although the intensity and mildness of the passions of the Jeevas in this Gunasthana vary, their vision remains false or opposite. They never have a true understanding of their own nature. And until the Jeeva has a true understanding of himself (Samyagdarshan), he will remain in Mithyadrishti. However, it has been given the name Gunasthana because the true qualities of the Jeevas in this place have not been destroyed, but they are not shining at present due to the covering of karma.
2. Sasadan or Sasvadan Samyagdristi Gunasthana - When a Bhavy Jeeva becomes Samyagdristi by subduing the Mithyatvamohaniya karma and the Anantanubandhi passions, he remains in that state for a moment. Within that time, if the Anantanubandhi passion arises while some time is left, then he falls according to the rule and enjoys the taste of the Samyaktva that was vomited for a period of six Avali-kalas. This intermediate state of falling is called Sasvadan Gunasthana, and this Jeeva has fallen by enjoying (enjoying) the Samyaktva, therefore it is also called Sasadan Samyagdristi.
