## The Study of the Vaitaliya
By following the path of the Infinite, countless Siddhas have become free from all karmas and have attained special places, or are attaining them in the present time, or will attain them in the future by following this path. There is no other path to Siddhi. ||21||
**Commentary:** The Agamkar, referring to the qualities mentioned earlier, says: One should not kill any of the ten types of living beings through mind, speech, or body, or through action or approval. This is the first great vow. The remaining four great vows should also be understood through this characteristic. The one who is engaged in the welfare of the soul, the one who seeks the welfare of the soul, should abstain from desires or intentions for attaining heaven, etc. He should keep his senses, mind, speech, and body hidden and protected from evil deeds. The one who does this will surely attain Siddhi.
Explaining this, it is said that by following the aforementioned path, countless beings have destroyed their karmas and attained Siddhi. In other words, they have gained a unique and unparalleled place. Even in the present time, those who are eligible to attain Siddhi attain it through the means mentioned earlier, they attain liberation. In the future too, countless beings will attain Siddhi by following that path. There is no other path to Siddhi.
Thus, the Anuttara-nani, the Anuttara-dansi, the holder of the Anuttara-jnana and Anuttara-darshan, the Arhat, the Jnatputra, the Bhagavan Mahavira, preached this in the city of Vaishali. This is what I say.
**Commentary:** This is what Sudharmaswami, Jambuswami, and others, teach their disciples. Thus, the Rishibhaswami, following the three-fold method mentioned earlier, has declared this for his sons. There is no higher principle than this, therefore it is Anuttara. That knowledge is Anuttara-jnana, and he possesses it, therefore he is Anuttara-jnani. He is also Anuttara-darshi, because he understands the nature of the general and the specific. To show the soul as the basis of knowledge, he says, "Anuttara-jnana-darshan-dhara," which means the basis of knowledge and vision that is different from ordinary knowledge and vision. The Arhat, the one worthy of worship by Indra and others, the Jnatputra, the Vardhaman Swami, or the Bhagavan Rishibhaswami, possessing qualities like wealth, etc., preached this in the city of Vaishali. Rishibhaswami is called Vaishalik because he was born in the Vaishali clan. It is also said:
"Whose mother is Vaishali, whose clan is Vaishali, whose speech is Vaishali, he is the Vaishali Jina."
Thus, this Jina is called Vaishalik. The word "iti" signifies the end of the statement. The meaning is the same as before. ||22||
**Commentary:** The Agamkar explains what the Aryas Sudharma, Sri Jambu, etc., say to their disciples.
"The Bhagavan, the son of the Nayaputta, preached in Vaishali." ||22|| This is what I say.
Thus, he declared that he is the Anuttara-jnani, the Anuttara-dansi, the holder of the Anuttara-jnana and Anuttara-darshan.
The Arhat, the Jnatputra, the Bhagavan Vaishalik, has declared this. || This is what I say. ||
