(3) Is this *chog* pure? In other words, what is the true nature of the pure fruit in the form of *meksha*? And is this *yag* pure, leading to *atmasiddhi* in the form of *sal* and *samapa*? This should be examined. Thus, the three types of *yagshuddhi* - *sadhya*, *sadhana*, and *siddhi* - must be observed here. Because, keeping the true *sadhya* in mind, serving the true *sadhana*, leads to true *siddhi*; keeping the pure *atmaswaroop* as the constant goal, serving the pure *atmasadhana*, leads to pure *atmasiddhi*. In other words, by achieving the *av'chak* *chog-chogav'chak* of the true *atmaswaroop*, performing the *av'chak* *yogakriya-kriyav'chak* that is conducive to the *atmaswaroop*, one attains the *av'chak* *ful-felav'chak* in the form of pure *atmasiddhi*. From this, it is concluded that for the soul who desires to perform *chogsadhana*, the practitioner must necessarily investigate whether the *sadhana* we are serving is truly conducive to *moksha*? Does it lead to the desired *atmasiddhi* in the form of the *sadhya* at the center? Are these *chog-kriya-kul* of mine not becoming empty, like a mine without a goal, missing the *sadhya* target? Does it remain *av'chak*?
Thus, only that *yag* which is endowed with *gacharsuddhi*, *swaroopsuddhi*, and *lasuddhi* has its true *mokshahetupanam*. If this is accepted, then there is no difference in the *chogshastra* of any *darshan* in *yagmag*. Because, there is no difference in the true *sadhya* in the form of the pure *atma*, there is no difference in the *sadhana* in the form of *shamparayan* *mokshamana*, and there is no difference in the *siddhi* in the form of the pure *atmisiddhi* - *meksha*, and therefore, there is no difference in all the *munimukhus* who are dedicated to achieving *atmasiddhi*. There may be differences in names, etc., but this does not create any difference in the *chog*’s *parama*. And thus, only that *yag* where the purity of the true *sadhya*, *sadhana*, and *siddhi* exists is the true *chog* - the real *chog*; and in it alone, the true characteristic of *yag* in the form of *mokshahetupanam* - *mokshelan cholanar yo* - is truly present. This *samyak* purity, where the aforementioned characteristics of *chog* are present, is the true touchstone of *yag*, and the other definitions of *chog* also have this as their foundation. Keeping this in mind, let us now examine the other definitions.
3. Examination and Reconciliation of Various *Chog* Definitions.
(1) All Pure *Dharmavyapar* is *Chog*
“All *dharmavyapar* that is pure due to its connection with *moksha* is *yag*” - this is the definition of *yag* given by Shri Haribhadrasuriji in Shri *Chogvishika*, which is also concluded from the
