**Gadashtisamuchchay Meaning:** - The first Gunasthan that is described from the general, in this state, it is "primary" according to the word "Anvath Yeg".
**Discussion:** This has suggested which Gunasthan is in the first Dristi named Mitra. The first "Gunasthan" named "Mithyashti" in the Shastra, is the main one here. So, in the state of this Mitra Dristi, the true first "Gunasthan" falls in the true sense of the word - Nirupcharitapan. Because the place of origin of the Gunas is called "Gunasthan". And where the Gunas of the primary state are present, it is truly called the first "Gunasthan". The beginning of the attainment of such Gunas starts in the first Dristi, the auspicious moment of entering the Agmarg is this first Dristi, this is the auspicious beginning of the eligibility for the Sanmarg, this is the first step of the liberation from the cycle of birth and death, this is the first role of the great G-prasad, this is the first attempt to climb the G-mountain. Thus, primarily, i.e., Nirupcharitapan, the first Gunasthan is present in this Dristi.
Even before this Dristi is attained, all Mithyadristi are counted in the first Gunasthan, but they are Upcharitapan, secondary - not primarily. They have the name of Gunasthan, but not truly. Because the manifestation of the Guna is not there, the place of the Guna is not there, so according to the true meaning of the word, it is not Gunasthan, it is just a name for the sake of saying it is Gunasthan. Thus, there is a lot of difference in both types, it is the distance between heaven and earth. Just as a person is called "King", and a real King who has royal power, there is as much difference between the two, as there is between the first Gunasthan without the previous Guna and the first Gunasthan with the Mitra Dristi, which is full of Gunas.
And here, in the Mitra Dristi, even though Mithyatva has not yet been avoided and Samyaktva has not been attained, yet what wonderful excellent Gunas are manifested here, it has been discussed in detail above. Because we have seen that the self-absorption of this world is very far away in Mitra. By meeting the Guru, the attainment of the age of unwavering Guna-attainment is achieved. His mind becomes pure, it becomes wet with the irrigation of Vairagya, and seeds are deposited in it. He manifests pure devotion towards the Supreme Being, he performs the best worship of the Guru, and he performs various worship of the Sat-Shastra. He becomes the abode of auspicious Gunas like compassion, non-hatred, love for virtue, service to people, etc. And having attained such a state of activity, he is standing close to the breaking of the knot. Thus, with the emergence of many Gunas - manifestation, this Yogi has got "the time of fame and splendor", he has got "an unprecedented opportunity" for the attainment of excellent fame.
