Here, **yoga-dristi-samuccaya** is of two types: (1) **Rupi** which means **samavasaranasthit** **jina-rupa** (the form of the Jina in the state of **samavasarana**) and its **alambana** (object of focus) which has characteristics like its image, etc. (2) **Arupi** **param** which means **siddha** **paramatma** (the liberated soul). In this, the **alambana** is the **arupi** **paramatma-rupa** (the form of the liberated soul) and the **yoga** is called **tad-guna-parinati-rupa** **analambana** (the yoga of the transformation of those qualities like **kevaljnana** etc. of the liberated soul) which is known through the transformation of those qualities. Due to its **atindriya** (beyond the senses) nature, it is **sukshma** (subtle); or this **yoga** is with a **sukshma** **alambana** (subtle object of focus), therefore it is called **ishad-u-kichit** **alambana-rupa** (slightly having an object of focus) and is called **analambana** **yoga**.
This **analambana** **yoga** is the **paratattva-darshanecchha-rupa** (desire to see the ultimate reality) which is attained in **samartha** **yoga**. "In the scriptures, the remedy is shown, but what is beyond the subject of the scriptures, is attained through special effort and strength, this **samartha** **paratattva** is called the supreme **yoga**." - This definition of **darshanecchha** was given in the beginning of this text (verse 5). This **samartha** **yoga** is attained in the second **apuurvakarana** (stage of purification) of the **kshapka** **shreni** (series of purifications) and in it, there is **sanyasa** (renunciation) of **kshama** (forgiveness) and other **kshapashmika** (purifying) **dharmas** (virtues). This **samartha** **yoga** which is in the form of **dharma-sanyasa** (renunciation of virtues) leads to the **nihsanga** (unattached) **paratattva-darshanecchha** (desire to see the ultimate reality) which is **akhand** (unbroken). Know this as **analambana** **yoga**. In other words, it is the desire to see the ultimate reality with **asanga** (unattached) power, which does not attach itself to anything else, does not choose anything, and is completely **akhand** (unbroken). This **analambana** **yoga** exists until the **paratattva** (ultimate reality) is seen. But when the **paramatma** (liberated soul) is seen, **kevaljnana** (omniscience) arises and **analambana** **yoga** is no longer **analambana** (without an object of focus) but becomes **salambana** (with an object of focus). The example of an arrow is used to understand this:
The **kshapka** (purification) is like the bow, arrow, and quiver. The **kshapka** **shreni** (series of purifications) is like the bow. The **paramatma** (liberated soul) is the target. The **analambana** **yoga** is like the arrow which is aimed at the target without missing. As long as the arrow is not released, **analambana** **yoga** is active. But when it is released, the target is hit only by its fall. Quickly, the **paramatma** (liberated soul) is seen. Therefore, the fall of the arrow is like the **salambana** (with an object of focus) **kevaljnana** (omniscience) light. * "The kingdom is not a denial: the grace is the **shey** (supreme)
**tin-padhyana** (threefold meditation) is the **havair-at-tattva-swar** (the essence of the true nature of the liberated soul)." - **Shodashaka** 14-1. "**Samartha** **yoga** is the desire to see the **tattva** (ultimate reality) with **asanga** (unattached) power. This is called **analambana** **yoga** until that vision is attained. Because it is established there and is truly active there. This **analambana** (without an object of focus) is called the best of all. Know that the vision of the **tattva** (ultimate reality) is like the arrow hitting the target. **Pat** (fall) is the **tattva** (ultimate reality) and **jnana** (knowledge) is the **chashvara-na-choti** (the peak of the liberated soul)." - **Shodashaka** 11-8, 9, 10.
