## The Study of Samvasarana
Someone prohibits it. It means the opposite of new. In the same way, Buddhist and other philosophers have used deception in the true reasons established by the Jains - in the real causes. The word 'ch' used here also indicates other unreasonable faults. Buddhists have accepted karma in their philosophy as one side and two sides, etc. Or they call karma as ṣaḍāyatana. The senses like hearing, etc., which are the material causes - the doors of inflow, are called ṣaḍāyatana. According to Buddhists, there is such a belief about karma as ṣaḍāyatana.
**Verse 6:**
They thus speak, not understanding, proponents of various false doctrines.
Taking them on, many people wander in the world, without any true understanding.
**Commentary:**
The author of the sutra says, "They" - the Cārvāka, Buddhists, etc., who are proponents of inaction, speak thus. They do not understand the true nature of things, their hearts are covered with the veil of falsehood. They present various kinds of scriptures, such as:
"By giving, one obtains great pleasures, and the heaven of the gods, by virtue. By meditation, one attains liberation, by austerity, all things are achieved."
And, "There are only four elements: earth, water, fire, and air. There is no other self, the experiencer of pleasure and pain. If these are also not real, then everything is like a dream, a magic show, a mirage, a double moon, etc."
And, "Everything is momentary and without self. Liberation is the realization of emptiness, the rest are just thoughts."
Thus, they present various kinds of scriptures, being proponents of inaction, who are themselves inactive. They, not understanding the true nature of things, take on their philosophy, and many people wander in the world, without any true understanding, like a rat in a cage. For example, there is no proof for the Lokāyata's claim that everything is void. As it is said:
"The truths are submerged, without reason, they cannot be established. If it exists, then it is not the truth, if it is established, then everything must be true."
Nor is perception the only proof, because the past and future are not directly perceived, and the validity of the relationship with the father is not established. Therefore, all social interaction would be destroyed. Also, the Buddhists' claim that everything is momentary leads to the absence of reality. For example, whatever is the cause of action is truly real. But a moment does not cause action gradually, because of its momentary nature. Nor does it cause action collectively, because all actions would occur in the same moment. This is not desirable, nor is it the basis of knowledge. Without a self, a knower, there is no possibility of the perception of a collection of qualities. This has been said before. And what is said, "By giving, one obtains great pleasures," etc., is also desirable in some way. But these are not accepted as objections.
