[106] [Jiva-Jiva-Abhigamsutra] The Ved-Dwar (gateway of the Vedas) - all three Vedas are found and there are also Avedi (non-Vedic). Those with subtle Sampraya (subtle connection) and other Gunasthanas (stages of qualities) are Avedi. The Paryapti-Dwar (gateway of perfection) - there are five Paryaptis (perfections) and five Aparyaptis (imperfections). Five Paryaptis are mentioned due to the expectation of considering language and Manas-Paryapti (mental perfection) as one. The Drishti-Dwar (gateway of vision) - all three Drishtis (visions) are found. Some are Mithyadrishti (false vision), some are Samyagdristi (right vision), and some are Mishradrishti (mixed vision). / The Darshan-Dwar (gateway of philosophy) - all four Darshanas (philosophies) are found. / The Jnana-Dwar (gateway of knowledge) - humans are both Jnani (knowledgeable) and Ajnani (ignorant). / Those who are Mithyadrishti are Ajnani, and those who are Samyagdristi are Jnani. Among these, five Jnanas (knowledges) and three Ajnan (ignorance) are mentioned. It is as follows: some humans have two Jnanas, some have three Jnanas, some have four Jnanas, and some have one Jnana. / Those who have two Jnanas are those with Matijnana (knowledge of perception) and Shrutajnana (knowledge of scriptures) by rule. / Those who have three Jnanas are those with Matijnana, Shrutajnana, and Avadhijnana (knowledge of clairvoyance) or Matijnani, Shrutajnani, and Manas-Paryayajnani. Because even without Avadhijnana, one can be Manas-Paryayajnani. This has been said in many places in Siddha-Prabhut (perfect knowledge) etc. / Those who have four Jnanas are Matijnani, Shrutajnani, Avadhijnana, and Manas-Paryayajnani. Those who have one Jnana are Kevalajnani (omniscient). / When Kevalajnana is present, the remaining four Jnanas disappear. It is said in Pagam that when Kevalajnana is present, the Chhadmasthikajnana (knowledge of the veil) is destroyed. 'Only when Kevalajnana is present, the remaining Jnanas are destroyed.' There may be doubt here as to why the remaining Jnanas disappear when Kevalajnana arises? When these Mati etc. Jnanas are present due to the partial destruction of their respective coverings, then they should be present in greater quantity when their respective coverings are completely destroyed, just like the Charitra-Parinam (results of conduct). This is solved by the example of the emerald gem. Just as a high-quality emerald gem, due to its inherent nature, is covered with dirt etc., until its dirt is completely destroyed, a little bit of the gem is revealed when a little bit of dirt is removed. It is of many types due to being Kwachit (sometimes), Kadachit (perhaps), and Kathanchit (somehow). / Similarly, the Atma (soul) is naturally endowed with the power to know all things, but this nature is hidden by the veil of dirt. / Until the dirt is completely removed, the partial destruction of the dirt leads to the partial manifestation of that nature. It can be of many types due to being Kwachit, Kadachit, and Kathanchit. / It happens due to the difference between Mati, Shruta etc. When the entire dirt of the emerald gem is removed, the gem is manifested in one form. / Similarly, when all the coverings of the Atma are removed, the partial knowledge is destroyed. 1.
