The authors of the Sutra Kritanga Sutra believe in non-existence, but when asked why and how they create the Agamas if all substances do not exist, they accept the mixed state through their speech. Similarly, the Sankhya philosophers, while considering the soul to be inactive, also advocate its bondage and liberation, thereby accepting it as active and capable of action. Thus, they resort to the mixed state.
It has been explained that all other philosophers who believe in the aforementioned inaction, while proving their own side, also prove the opposing action, which is not their side. When a Syadvadi, who believes in Syadvada or Anekantavada, refutes the doctrines of the Buddhists, etc., using proper reasons, examples, and illustrations, they are unable to give a proper answer. They start mumbling in an unclear way, as if their mind is wandering, or because of the use of Chandas in the style of Prakrit, one should understand its meaning. When asked the aforementioned questions by the Syadvadi, the Buddhists, etc., become speechless - they become mute - they become completely silent - they are stunned. The Sutrakar, while advocating this, says that the Syadvadi cannot translate the proper reasons, etc., presented - they cannot understand and answer. They become anxious and silent - they remain silent. When the Syadvadi presents reasons and examples against the Buddhists, etc., they start to adorn their own doctrine without translating them - without giving a counter-argument. They start saying that our philosophy is free from the opposing side. It is the only side. And because it is mutually non-contradictory and has the same meaning, it is free from obstacles - it is free from contradictions. Their statement is not true. This has been said before. (Jain philosophers say) Our philosophy is two-sided - it has two sides. It is with an opposing side. It is Anekantic - it is based on Anekantavada. The statement that expresses the contradictory meaning of the previous and the subsequent is called a contradictory statement. Such contradictory and non-contradictory statements have a place in it from a relative perspective, as has been said before. Or, in another way, our philosophy is two-sided. Our philosophy is two-sided from the perspective of karma-bondage and liberation. Just as a being receives the fruits of its karma, like a thief, a womanizer, etc., in this world and in the next world - in both worlds. The thief and the womanizer have their hands, feet, nose, etc., cut off, causing them suffering, which is like the effect of their karma, like a flower, and in the next world, they suffer hellish torments, which are like the fruit of their karma, like the fruit of their karma. Just as the fruits of these karmas have to be suffered in both worlds, similarly, other good deeds, bad deeds, and sins also have to be suffered in both worlds. Jain philosophy is two-sided because of this belief, but the Buddhists, etc., are one-sided. They say that the fruits of karma are received in this birth, not in another. As has been said before in the form of "Praani Praani Gyaanam". They say that Avgyopacit, Parigyopacit, E-path, Swapnantic, the bondage of karma is only a touch. The mere touch of bondage has no fruit in the next world - therefore, they are one-sided. When a man who believes in Syadvada starts pointing out flaws in their doctrine, they resort to the fully described policy-method, claiming their philosophy to be superior, and use deception in the proper reasons presented by the Syadvadi. For example, Devadatta's blanket is new. This sentence "Navakambalo Devadatta" is said with this meaning. The word "nava" is ambiguous - it denotes both new and nine. The word "nava" used here has the numerical meaning of nine.
