(25) Their auspicious deeds are not included. Siddhasenagani did not deem it appropriate to consider these four actions as auspicious, yet he has quoted such verses that support both views.
That is, the observations about the second, third, and eighth do not differ; there is no disagreement in these. The remaining two subjects from the aforementioned eight validate the two viewpoints, according to the Agamic tradition's affirmation in the first, fourth, and seventh instances; the fifth and sixth hold no special significance. From the different viewpoints available in the texts of both traditions, a determination cannot be made regarding which text is original. Here, we are still in ambiguity.
Now we will examine the two cases of disagreement. They are as follows - 1. The rules of Pudgalic bondage and 2. Parisha. In the second case, the formulas are identical in both perspectives, while there is slight variation in the formulas of the first case.
1. The Rules of Pudgalic Bondage
In Sutra 5:32-36 (33-37), the Pudgalic bondage is described as follows:
5:32 (33) Due to the qualities of smoothness and dryness, bondage arises.
33 (34) It is not disparaging concerning the qualities.
34 (35) In similarity of qualities, there are like ones.
35 (36) In terms of duality and more qualities.

This distinction is clear from the following table:
