By the great influence of the Shruta Shakti, which is like nectar, the collection of Gadashti and such other things leads to the attainment of Anubandha Phala, that is, one gets progressively more and more auspicious fruits. One auspicious fruit becomes the cause of another more auspicious fruit, and so on, the accumulation of auspicious fruits continues uninterruptedly and without break, until the ultimate fruit is attained. Thus, due to the influence of Shruta Shakti, the Kulgis get the Anubandha, therefore, these actions done with knowledge become the means of liberation for them.
Thus, the practice of Kulgis is fruitful with Anubandha, because it is Anubandha-Shuddha. To understand this properly, it is necessary to understand the form of three types of practice. Practice is said to be of three types: (1) Vishaya-Shuddha, (2) Trividha Anushthana Swarupa-Shuddha, (3) Anubandha-Shuddha. These three practices are progressively more important and their fruits are also more important. (1) The practice done by Bhrigu-Pat and others, believing blindly and naively that they will attain liberation, is Vishaya-Shuddha Anushthana. And it is said to be auspicious because of the slightest possibility of attaining liberation, but it is not pure in form due to extreme carelessness (sinfulness). (2) Swarupa-Shuddha Anushthana is that which is done systematically without Gadashti, that is, the practice of Ahimsa, Satya, etc., Yamas, etc., done in a worldly way, according to the established customs, is Swarupa-Shuddha Anushthana. But it is not according to the scriptures, it is not according to the scriptures, because there is a lack of Samyak Jnana, Shraddha, etc. This practice is pure in form, but not pure in method. (3) The Anubandha-Shuddha Anushthana is the same, but it is done with the awareness of the truth, it is endowed with Samyak Tattva-Parijnana, it has a proper understanding of the truth, and it is done with a calm and decisive attitude, and it is completely free from any kind of anxiety. This Anubandha-Shuddha Anushthana is pure in form and also in method.

The fruits of these three are as follows: (1) Vishaya-Shuddha Anushthana does not remove the Dosha, that is, the Dosha that hinders the attainment of Moksha is not removed. Because the darkness of ignorance is very strong, therefore, such suicidal thoughts arise. (2) Swarupa-Shuddha Anushthana removes the Dosha, but it does not remove the Anubandha. The powder of a burnt frog, which has been destroyed, does not produce a frog from it, but here, like that, the Anubandha of the Dosha is not destroyed, so that another future...
