## The Sutra Kritanga Sutra:
**The 'Jagat'**, a collection of all living and non-living beings, is fully understood through the **Kevala Jnana** (omniscience) of the **Sarvagna** (omniscient). By understanding this 'Jagat' through the **Gama Parijnana** (knowledge of the scriptures) or by **Parijnaya** (direct knowledge), one should cultivate the **twenty-five types of Dharma Bhavanas** (virtuous thoughts) or the **twelve types of Bhavanas** which are **Jivit Bhavanas** (life-sustaining), **Jiva Samadhan Karini** (soul-liberating), **Sat Samyama Angataya** (parts of right restraint), and **Moksha Karini** (liberation-producing). ||4||
**To explain the state of one who has cultivated these virtuous thoughts, the Sutrakar says:**
**Commentary:**
The Sutrakar explains that one should cultivate **Maitri Bhava** (loving-kindness) towards all beings. One should avoid any actions that cause harm or violence towards living beings. One should avoid any actions that lead to conflict with other beings. This is the pure and holy nature of the **Tirthankara** (liberated soul) or the conduct of a **Susanyami Sadhu** (perfectly restrained sage).
A **Susanyami Sadhu** or a **Tirthankara**, through **Kevala Jnana** or **Sarvagna**-revealed **Agam Jnana** (scriptural knowledge), fully understands the **Jagat** (universe) of living and non-living beings. In this world, they cultivate the **twenty-five** or **twelve types of Bhavanas** which are **Jivit Bhavanas**, **Jiva Samadhan Karini**, **Sat Samyama Angataya**, and **Moksha Karini**.
**To show the state of a person who has cultivated these virtuous thoughts, the Sutrakar says:**
**Bhavanajogasuddhapya, jale nava va ahiya. Nava va tirasampanna, savvadukkha tiutt'ai. ||5||**
**Chhaya:**
**Bhavanayogasuddhatma, jale naurivahita. Nauriva tira sampanna, sarvadukhat trutayati. ||5||**
**Translation:**
The soul purified by the **Bhavanayoga** (yoga of virtuous thoughts) is like a boat in water. Just as a boat reaches the shore and finds rest, so too does this person become free from all suffering.
**Commentary:**
**Bhavanayoga** is the practice of cultivating virtuous thoughts with **Samyak Pranidhana** (right resolve). The soul of one who has purified their inner self through **Bhavanayoga** is like a boat on water, having renounced the worldly desires. Just as a boat never sinks in water, so too does this person never sink in the ocean of Samsara (cycle of birth and death). Just as a boat, guided by a skilled navigator and propelled by favorable winds, reaches the shore after overcoming all obstacles, so too does a person with **Ayata Charitra** (right conduct), guided by the **Agam** (scriptural teachings) and propelled by the wind of **Tapa** (austerity), reaches the shore of **Moksha** (liberation) after overcoming all suffering. ||5||
