**34]** **[Prajñāpana Sūtra (2)]** The absence of a Tirtha (sacred place) is called Atirtha. The absence of a Tirtha occurs in two ways: either the Tirtha has not been established at all, or after being established, it has been discontinued over time.
In such Atirtha times, those who have attained Siddhi (liberation) are called Pratitirtha-siddha.
In the absence of the establishment of a Tirtha (in the past), Marudevi and other Siddhas attained liberation. During the time of Marudevi and others' attainment of Siddhi, there was no establishment of a Tirtha. Similarly, during the time between the Tirthankaras like Suvidhinatha, the Tirtha was discontinued. At that time, those who attained Siddhi by obtaining the path to liberation through knowledge like Jatismaran (recollection of past lives), etc., are called Tirthavyavachheda-siddha.
Both these types of Siddhas are Tirtha-siddha.
**(3)** Tirthankara-siddha: Those who attain Siddhi as Tirthankaras are called Tirthankara-siddha. For example, in this Avasarpini (descending) time, from Rishabhadeva to Shri Vardhamana Swami, twenty-four Tirthankaras attained Siddhi as Tirthankaras.
**(4)** Pratitirthankara-siddha: Those who attain Siddhi as ordinary Kevalis (liberated souls) are called Atirthankara-siddha.
**(5)** Swayambuddha-siddha: Those who attain Siddhi without any teachings, by becoming self-enlightened (understanding the nature of the world) are called Swayambuddha-siddha.
**(6)** Pratyekabuddha-siddha: Those who attain Siddhi as Pratyekabuddhas.
Although both Swayambuddhas and Pratyekabuddhas attain Siddhi without any teachings, the difference between them is that Swayambuddhas become self-enlightened (gain enlightenment) through their own knowledge like Jatismaran, etc., without any external stimuli, while Pratyekabuddhas are those who become enlightened due to some external stimuli like a bull, a tree, a cloud, etc.
It is said that Karkandu, etc., attained enlightenment due to the sight of a bull, etc., as an external stimulus. These Pratyekabuddhas, after attaining enlightenment, usually wander alone (individually) and do not wander in groups like the Sadhus (monks) of a Gachchha (order).
In the Churni of Nandi-Adhyayan, it is said: "There are two types of Swayambuddhas: Tirthankara and Tirthankara-bhinna (different from Tirthankara)."
Tirthankaras are included in the category of Tirthankara-siddha. Therefore, here, one should understand Tirthankara-bhinna Swayambuddhas.
There are twelve types of Upadhi (accessories) based on the differences in the vessels, etc., of Swayambuddhas, while Pratyekabuddhas have two types of inferior and nine types of superior Upadhi, excluding the Pravarana (garment).
The Shruta (scripture) of Swayambuddhas is sometimes Purvaadhit (studied in a previous life) and sometimes not. If it is Purvaadhit, then the Devatas (gods) provide them with a Linga (robe), or they go to the presence of a Guru (teacher) and accept the Muni-linga. If they are capable of wandering alone and have the desire to do so, then they wander alone, otherwise, they stay as Gachchhavasis (members of an order). If their Shruta is not Purvaadhit, then they usually go to a Guru and accept the Muni-linga and stay as Gachchhavasis.
The Shruta of Pratyekabuddhas is usually Purvaadhit. They have studied at least eleven Angas (parts of scripture) in the inferior case and ten Angas in the superior case. The Devatas give them the Muni-linga, or sometimes they may be without a Linga.
