## The Sutra Kritanga Sutra
Here, the meaning of Anagati is Siddhi. It is attained by the complete and total shedding of all karmas. It is located in a specific place in the sky, at the forefront of the universe. It is eternal and without any internal divisions. According to the Dravyarthic Nay, all substances are eternal or permanent, and according to the Paryayarthic Nay, all are impermanent, non-eternal, and constantly perishable. He who knows this. The word 'cha' used here refers to one who knows all substances as both eternal and non-eternal, and both simultaneously. The Agamas state that the Nairyik-Narak Jiva is eternal according to the Dravyarthic Nay and non-eternal according to the Paryayarthic Nay. Similarly, one should know the same about other Tiryanch etc. Alternatively, Nirvana is called eternal and Samsara is called impermanent because the beings in Samsara move around due to the results of their own actions. He who knows the origin of the four castes - Narak, Tiryanch, Manushya, and Deva - and the death caused by the depletion of lifespan, is called Jan. He knows the rebirth of the Jivas, their Satvas. While contemplating birth, one should mention the place of origin of the Jivas, their Yoni. That Yoni is with consciousness, without consciousness, mixed, cold, hot, mixed, closed, open, and mixed. Thus, it is divided into twenty-seven categories. Tiryanch and Manushya die. The Jyotishka and Vaimanika Devas undergo Chyaavan. And the Bhavanpati, Vyantar, and Narakas undergo Udvartana. He knows those who are born. Rebirth happens in Narakas and Devas.

Sattva-beings experience the fruits of their own actions. The Duskrut Karmakari - sinners - experience various types of bodily pain in the lower realms like Naraka, etc., caused by birth, old age, death, illness, and sorrow. He who knows this. The word 'cha' indicates that he knows the means of eliminating pain. The implication is that all living beings from the Sarvarth Siddha Devaloka to the seventh Naraka are bound by karmas. Even there, those who have the heaviest karmas go to the Naraka called Apratisthan. He who knows this. The eight types of karmas are Ashravit - they enter the soul, become attached to it, and are called Ashrava. He who knows whether it is in the form of Pranatipat - violence - or whether it is based on Raga-Dvesha or Mithyadarshan. He who knows the Nirodha of Ashravas - the restraint of all mental, verbal, and physical activities, which is called Samvara. The word 'cha' indicates that he knows the Puny and Papa. He knows the suffering that arises as a result of the unbearable Uday and its cause, and he knows the happiness that is its opposite. He knows that it is destroyed by Tapas. The meaning is that he knows the causes of Karma-bandha and the causes of the destruction of karmas, which are opposite to bandha. It has been said that just as there are as many causes for the attachment to Samsara, there are also as many causes for attaining Moksha. He who knows this can truly and accurately explain it. Who can explain it? In answering this question, it is said that he can explain Kriyavad. The existence of the Jiva, Puny, Papa, and the fruits of past actions is called Kriyavad. Through the above two verses, the nine substances - Jiva, Ajiv, Ashrava, Samvara, Bandha, Puny, Papa, Nirjara, and Moksha - have been grasped. By saying 'he who knows the soul', the Jiva substance has been explained. By mentioning the universe, the Ajiv substance has been explained. And by mentioning motion, Anagati, and eternity, their nature has been explained. Ashrava and Samvara have been explained along with their own nature. And by mentioning suffering, Bandha, Puny, and Papa have been grasped, because they are inseparable from suffering.
