The general statement of the eight yogadrishtis: Due to the power of the samvritti pad (93), the "asansvedya pad" (mithyatva) is abandoned and the "ghasavedya pad" is attained. Although the "vedyasansvedya pad" begins with the fifth stable drishti, there is no fault in stating this generally, as it applies to all drishttis. Or, if we consider it to be the sapravritti pad, which is the shileshi pad, there is no contradiction, because ultimately, its attainment is the satpravritti pad, which is the ultimate action. "Pad" refers to a stable, immovable place that never shifts. Thus, inevitably, under the influence of this "drishti," the attainment of the "vedyasansvedya pad" or the shileshi pad, which is an immovable place, occurs. Through the magical touch of this drishti, which is like a touchstone, this jiva, which is like a piece of lead, becomes pure gold! "Niyama kanchanata lahe re...man mohna re lal. Leh kyun paras pam re...bhavi behnare lal." - Shri Devchandraji. And to show that this drishti is of eight types due to the difference in the paristthul, and not just many different types, it is said: "Iyam chavaran apaya bhedad ashtvigha smrita / Samanyena visheshastu bhuyaansa sukshma bhedatah // 18 //" Meaning: Due to the difference in the awaran apaya, that is, the difference in the removal of the awaran, it is said to be of eight types generally. And in terms of specific differences, there are many, many subtle differences. The "drishti" used in the above discussion, which is singular, refers to the drishti with the characteristics mentioned earlier, which is due to the difference in the awaran apaya, that is, due to the difference in the removal of the awaran. Due to the difference in the paristthul, the purvacharyas have said that it is of eight types. Generally, without considering the subtle drishti, the specific differences of the sad drishti are many, many, due to the subtle differences, due to the infinite differences in darshan, etc., because their statement is based on the mutual position of the patitapana.
