(Study of Vaitaliya) If it is not there, then this impregnability applies to everyone. Who is impregnable? It is said - Gramdharma is impregnable. 'Shabda'
etc. subjects and Abrahmacharya etc. are called Gramdharma. Therefore, Aryasudharma says that I have heard this. Tirthankaras have been advocating that Gramdharma is impregnable. All this which was previously advocated, was elucidated by Lord Rishabhdev, the son of Nabhi, addressing his sons. Thereafter, Sri Sudharmaswami and other subsequent Ganadharas had explained it to their disciples. Therefore, I have heard this, there is no fault in the indication that has been made. It should be understood like this. Here, in the word 'Jansi-Yasmin', the 'Lyap' is dropped in the karma and the use of the fifth or seventh case is done, according to this, the meaning here is that the man who is detached from these Gramdharmas or subject enjoyments, or here, due to the seventh case being in the meaning of the fifth, its meaning is that those who are detached from these Gramdharmas and are properly established in restraint. They follow the religion propagated by the first Tirthankara Lord Rishabhdev and advocated by the last Tirthankara Lord Mahavira. Its meaning is
Those who follow this, I have said, by the great sage.
They are risen, they are risen, they are enlightening each other in terms of Dharma. ||26||
Shadow - Those who follow this, as said, by the great sage.
They are risen, they are risen, they are enlightening each other in terms of Dharma. ||

_Commentary - And those men who follow this previously mentioned Dharma, which is characterized by the renunciation of Gramdharma, are said to be doing it, by the knower, the son of the knower, 'Mahaya' - because the knowledge of Mahavira is unparalleled, therefore he is great, and because of his tolerance of favorable and unfavorable adversities, the great sage Sri Vardhamana Swami has advocated Dharma, those who follow it are risen by the establishment of restraint, by the avoidance of Kutirthikas, and by the avoidance of Nihnavadi, they are properly established by the abandonment of the wrong path, it is not the case with others, those who are slanderers, Jamali, etc. - this is the meaning. And they, who follow the aforementioned Dharma, inspire each other, relying on Dharma, or they inspire those who are deviating from Dharma, to return to the right Dharma. ||26||
Commentary meaning - Only knowledge is the subject, it is vast, knowledge is not different from the knower. From this perspective, only knowledge and Mahavira are not really different. Therefore, Lord Mahavira is called great. The knower of the lineage, Lord Vardhamana, who is endowed with such knowledge, has tolerated favorable and unfavorable adversities with tolerance, and has advocated the right Dharma while giving the advice of renunciation of Gramdharmas. Those who follow it, abandon the Dharma advocated by other Tirthankaras, who are the proponents of false doctrines, they are truly established in restraint, properly established in Dharma.
