The statement that **Samyaktvam** is the cause of **Tirthankara-nama** and that **utkrista-samyama** is the cause of the **aaharaka-sharira** is like saying "ghee burns". This is because the **aaharaka-sharira** is only attained by a **muni** who is **utkrista** (exceedingly) **labdhivan** (possessing knowledge and insight) and **samyami** (practicing self-restraint). The previous **tapa** (austerity) and **samyama** were said to be the cause of **swarg** (heaven), which is a statement that is appropriate in terms of **upacara** (figurative language). || 146-147 ||
The **atma** (soul) has **ashrava** (influx of karma) in the same proportion as it has **yoga** (union with the divine), and it has **sanvara** (stopping of influx) in the same proportion as it has **upayoga** (use) of **jnana** (knowledge) etc. || 148 ||
Therefore, the **atma**, resting in its **ansha** (parts), bears **ashrava** and **sanvara**, always shining like a mirror with two parts, one **swachchha** (pure) and the other **aswachchha** (impure). || 149 ||
The **jnana-dhara** (stream of knowledge) becomes **shuddha** (pure) after attaining **samyaktvam**.
