The nineteenth principle is about the twenty-four categories of beings. It discusses the relationship between Samyagdristi, Mithyadristi and Mishradristi in these categories. It states that Samyag-Mithyarashti is only Panchendriya and Ekendriya Mithyashti is the only one. From Dwiendriya to Chaturindriya, there is no Samyag Mithyadristi. In Shatkhandagam, Asangyi Panchendriya is called Mithyarashti. Samyagdristi and Mithyarashti exist from Dwiendriya to Panchendriya. Samyaktva means faith in the soul from the perspective of knowledge and faith in the body and other beings from the perspective of action.
There are nine substances like Jiva and Ajiva. The faith in these ultimate substances, arising from teachings or nature, should be understood as Samyaktva.
The twentieth principle is called Antakriya. When a being dies, its gross body remains here, but the subtle bodies, Taijas and Karman, remain with it. The gross body is then produced again through the Karman body. Therefore, even after the gross body is shed, the cycle of birth and death does not end because the subtle body remains. When the subtle bodies are destroyed, the cycle of existence also ends. Antakriya means the end of the cycle of birth and death. The action that ends existence is Antakriya. This action is used in two senses: new existence or liberation, in other words, here the word Antakriya is used in both the sense of liberation and death.
In the Stananga, the Antakriya of Bharat, Gajasukumal, Sanatkumar and Mata Marudevi is described as the action of ending birth and death and attaining liberation. They became inactive by ending the actions arising from the soul and body.
This principle discusses Antakriya in the context of the twenty-four categories of beings. It also states that only humans can attain Antakriya, or liberation. This is described through ten gates.
The twenty-first principle is called Avgahana Sansthanapad. This principle discusses the body of beings through seven gates: the types of bodies, the nature of the institution, the measurement of the proof body, the selection of pudgals for body formation, which bodies are present in a being at the same time, the abundance and scarcity of the substances and regions of the body, and the abundance and scarcity of Avgahana.
The discussion of beings has been done through many gates like motion, etc., but there is no body gate in them. Here, in the first method gate, after describing the five types of bodies - Praudarik, Vaikriya, Aharak, Taijas and Karman, there is a discussion of the types of these bodies. Which institution is there in Ekendriya, etc., who have Praudarik body? How much is their Avgahana? How many bodies are possible in a being at the same time? There is a detailed discussion about the abundance and scarcity of the substances and regions of the body, the abundance and scarcity of the Avgahana of the body.
172. The understanding of the soul and other beings is considered correct by the Jinas. It is considered correct from the perspective of action and knowledge of the self.
173. The soul, non-soul, bondage, merit, demerit, and defilement are all there. Restraint, knowledge, liberation, and faith are also nine.
The nature of these states is the basis of understanding. The understanding of the one who understands these states is considered correct.
