The elements compiled in the Chittasamadhi Sthana, Mohaniya Sthana and Ayati Sthana are actually related to Yoga Vidya. If compared with Yoga Shastra, it will be known that these four studies are very important in the ten studies of the Pracharadasha for concentrating and unifying the mind. The Upasakapratima and Bhikhuapratima impart knowledge of the highest rules of the most rigorous practice of the Shravak and Shraman. In the Paryushana Kalpa, it has been discussed in detail how to observe Paryushana, how to celebrate it, and when to celebrate it. The two Dashaanas, Sabaldosha and Ashatana, discuss the daily rules of Sadhu life and state that these rules should be followed. What is to be abandoned should be abandoned firmly and what is to be adopted should be followed. The fourth Dashaganisampada describes the personality, influence and physical influence of the person sitting on the Acharya Pad in a very useful way. Those who are interested in the Acharya Pad must study this before taking the Acharya Pad. Thus, this Dasha Shruta Skandha (Acharadasha) holds a very important place in the Shraman life. In other words, the subject matter of the Dasha Shruta Skandha can also be mentioned in this way: The first three Dashaanas and the last two Dashaanas describe the Heyachar of the Sadhak. The fourth Dasha describes the Gneyachar of the Agitart Anugar and the Upadeyachar for the Gitart Anugar. The fifth Dasha describes the Upadeyachar. The sixth Dasha describes the Jayachar for the Anugar and the Upadeyachar for the Sagar (Shramanopasak). The seventh Dasha describes the Upadeyachar for the Anugar and the Gneyachar for the Sagar. The eighth Dasha describes some Gneyachar, some Heyachar and some Upadeyachar for the Anugar. Thus, this Acharadasha-Dasha Shruta Skandha is useful for both Anugar and Sagar. The Heya, Gney and Upadeya Prachar have also been mentioned in the Cheda Sutras like Kalpa, Vyavahar etc. (2) The word Kalpa in the Brihatkalpasutra is indicative of many meanings. This word is found in Vedic literature. There are six limbs of the Veda, one of which is the limb that contains the rules of rituals like Yajna, that limb is called Kalpa. The word Kalpa is also used for time. The time of fourteen Manvantaras is known by the word Kalpa. Four billion, thirty-two crore years pass in it. This long period of time is called Kalpa. The word Kalpa is also used in a similar sense, such as Shraman Kalpa, Rishi Kalpa etc. The word Kalpa is also used for the tree that gives the desired fruit, it is called Kalpavriksha. The word Kalpa is also used for the limits of the kingdom. There are limits of politics up to the twelfth Devaloka. For this reason, those Devalokas are called 'Kalpa Devalokas'. Whoever lives life according to the legal rules, he surely becomes rich in happiness and wealth. The word Kalpa, which is used to describe the present scripture, is completely different from the above meanings. [13]
