The **Kasayapahuḍa Sutra** has been largely composed based on the **Yativṛpabhake** **Cūrṇisūtra** written on the aforementioned rights. In simple words, it can be said that the **Sacūrṇi** has extracted the essence of the three rights of **Samyaktva**, **Samyama-asamyama**, and **Samyama-labdhi** from the **Kasayapahuḍa** in the **Labdhisāra**, and the **Kṣapaṇādhhikāra** in the **Kṣapaṇasāra**, thus making the text live up to its name.
Similarly, **Madhavachandra Traividya** composed his Sanskrit **Kṣapaṇasāra** based on the **Kṣapaṇādhhikāra** **Gāthāsūtra** and **Cūrṇisūtra** of the **Kasayapahuḍa**. This text is written in a Sanskrit prose that is as much as possible and as necessary, a shadow of the **Cūrṇisūtra**, and is expanded and elaborated. Copies of this text were recently found in the **Śāstrabhaṇḍāra** of the **Terapañthī** **Baḍā Mandir** in Jaipur. Due to the unavailability of the text, we are unable to provide comparative quotations here, despite our desire to do so.
... **Śrīcandrarṣi Mahātara** has made ample use of the original **Gāthās** of the **Kasayapahuḍa** and its **Cūrṇisūtra** in his **Pañcasangraha**, as he himself has acknowledged. Beginning the **Pañcasangraha**, he himself wrote:
"**Sayagādi pañca gaṇṭhā jahārihaṁ jeṇa ettha saṁkhitta.**"
Commenting on this, **Ācārya Malayagiri** wrote:
"**Pañcānāṁ śataka-saptaṭikā-kaṣāyaprābhūta-satkarma-karmaprakrtivilakṣaṇānāṁ graṇthānāṁ**"
That is, I have described in this **Pañcasangraha** of mine, in brief and as appropriate, the five texts of **Śataka**, **Saptaṭikā**, **Kaṣāyaprābhūta**, **Satkarmaprābhṛta**, and **Karmaprakrti**.
This mention clearly proves both the importance and antiquity of the **Kasayapahuḍa**.
**Subject Introduction**
**The Cause of Samsāra-Paribhramaṇa**
All believers agree that this **jīva** has been wandering in **samsāra** since time immemorial, experiencing various physical and mental sufferings while going through the cycle of birth and death. But the question is, what is the cause of this **jīva**'s **samsāra-paribhramaṇa**? All believers have attempted to answer this question. Some consider **aṣṭaka** to be the cause of **samsāra-paribhramaṇa**, while others point to **apūrva**, **daiva**, **vāsanā**, **yogyatā**, etc. Some say that the cause is past **karma**, while others solve the question by considering all this to be **Īśvara-kṛta**. But thinkers, after much speculation and debate, have established that since **Īśvara** is not proven to be the creator of the world, he cannot be considered the cause of **samsāra-paribhramaṇa**, nor can he be considered the giver of happiness and sorrow. Then the question arises, what are these **adṛṣṭa**, **deva**, **karma**, etc.? Briefly, some thoughts on them are presented here.
**Naiyāyika Vaiśeṣika** people consider **prāpta** to be a quality of the **ātman**. They say that the impression of any good or bad action we do falls on our **ātman**, and from that, the **ātman**...
