## Gaggarpaan/71
The nature of the thirteenth Kevali Gunasthan is: "The one whose ignorance-darkness is completely destroyed by the group of rays of the sun of Kevalnaan, which are like the indivisible divisions of the fruit. And the one who is called 'Paramatma' due to the manifestation of the Kevalalabdhis. ||63|| The one who is free from the need for senses, support, weapons, and endurance is called Kevali. ||64||"
The one whose ignorance-darkness is completely destroyed by the group of rays of the sun of Kevalnaan, which are like the indivisible divisions of the fruit (excellent, infinite, and radiant), and the one who is called 'Paramatma' due to the manifestation of the Kevalalabdhis, is called Kevali. He is called Jina because he is free from the need for senses, support, weapons, and endurance, and because he is united with Kayayoga, and because he is free from the Patikarma. This is what is said in the Anadinidhan Parsva Agama. ||63-64||
**Special Meaning:** Just as the darkness of the night is destroyed by the group of rays of the sun at dawn, in the same way, when the destructive karmas like Jnaanavaran are destroyed, the ignorance-darkness related to all knowable objects is destroyed by the group of rays of the sun of Kevalnaan, which are like the excellent, infinite, and indivisible divisions. This means that all knowable objects become manifest in that Kevalnaan, and no object remains unmanifest. It is also said:
"How can the knower be ignorant of the knowable when there is no obstacle? Just as fire, being inherently fiery, cannot fail to burn the combustible object when there is no obstacle (like water, mantra, etc.)." ||13||
Kevalnaan only knows the knowable, because Kevalnaan is the proof of the knowable. As Shri Kundakundaacharya has said in Pravachansar, verse 23, with the testimony of Jinendradev: "Naan Geyapamanmudditta." If the Kevali were to know the unknowable, it would contradict the principle that "Naan is the proof of the knowable." Therefore, Shri Swami Kartikeyaacharya has said: "Neyen Vina Kahan Naan?" How can Kevalnaan exist without the knowable? This means that the Kevali does not know what is unknowable. If it is said that there is nothing unknowable, then in the absence of the unknowable, the knowable cannot exist either, because the existence of all objects with their opposites cannot be otherwise. Shri Viraseenaacharya has proved this point based on the Panchaastikaya, saying that all objects have opposites, because Kundakundaacharya has taught this principle with the words: "Sab Payastha Sappadvikha."
