The Samvayanga Sutra, through the delineation of charana and karana, describes, explains, demonstrates, and illustrates the nature of reality. This is the twelfth drishtivada anga. This is the description of the Dvadasanga Ganipitaka [12].
571 - This Dvadasanga Ganipitaka, in the past, caused countless jivas, devoid of knowledge, to wander in the wilderness of the four gatis. This Dvadasanga Ganipitaka, in the present, causes limited jivas, devoid of knowledge, to wander in the wilderness of the four gatis. This Dvadasanga Ganipitaka, in the future, will cause countless jivas, devoid of knowledge, to wander in the wilderness of the four gatis.
Countless jivas, in the past, wandered in the wilderness of the four gatis, having violated the injunctions of this Dvadasanga Ganipitaka in its sutra form, its meaning, and its combined form, i.e., by being under the influence of wrong views, by reciting the sutras incorrectly, by explaining the meaning incorrectly, and by incorrectly delineating the sutras and their meaning. Limited jivas, in the present, are wandering in the wilderness of the four gatis, having violated the injunctions of this Dvadasanga Ganipitaka in its sutra form, its meaning, and its combined form. Countless jivas, in the future, will wander in the wilderness of the four gatis, having violated the injunctions of this Dvadasanga Ganipitaka in its sutra form, its meaning, and its combined form.
572 - This Dvadasanga Ganipitaka, in the past, caused countless jivas, having attained knowledge, to cross the wilderness of the four gatis. Similarly, in the present, limited jivas, having attained knowledge, are crossing the wilderness of the four gatis. Similarly, in the future, countless jivas, having attained knowledge, will cross the wilderness of the four gatis.
Countless jivas, in the past, crossed the wilderness of the four gatis (attained liberation), having adhered to the injunctions of this Dvadasanga Ganipitaka in its sutra form, its meaning, and its combined form. Limited jivas, in the present, are crossing the wilderness of the four gatis, having adhered to the injunctions of this Dvadasanga Ganipitaka in its sutra form, its meaning, and its combined form. Countless jivas, in the future, will cross the wilderness of the four gatis, having adhered to the injunctions of this Dvadasanga Ganipitaka in its sutra form, its meaning, and its combined form.
573 - This Dvadasanga Ganipitaka was never in the past, it is not in the present, and it will never be in the future. However, it was in the past, it is in the present, and it will be in the future. It is eternally established, like the sun, the moon, the stars, the sky, and the earth. Just as the five atthikas were never in the past, they are not in the present, and they will never be in the future, but they were in the past, they are in the present, and they will be in the future, eternally established like the sun, the moon, the stars, the sky, and the earth. Similarly, this Dvadasanga Ganipitaka was never in the past, it is not in the present, and it will never be in the future. However, it was in the past, it is in the present, and it will be in the future, eternally established.
Because this Dvadasanga Ganipitaka...
