206/Go. Sa. Jiva Kanda
Verse 146
One cannot abandon and adopt fasting, etc. The main cause of Nirjara is Tapas.
Doubt - Why do Tiryanch not attain Moksha?
Solution - Tiryanch are born from the lower gotra, and those who are born from the lower gotra cannot adopt Samyama.
Doubt - Can all humans attain Moksha?
Solution - Only Karmabhoomi humans attain Moksha. Bhogbhoomi humans do not attain Moksha.
Doubt - Bhogbhoomi humans also have Vajrarṣabhanārātrasaṁhanana and three auspicious leṇyā, then why do they not attain Moksha?
Solution - Bhogbhoomi humans have a fixed Praharaparyaya. The best Bhogbhoomi humans eat after three days, the middle Bhogbhoomi humans eat after two days, and the lowest Bhogbhoomi humans eat after one day. They cannot eat before their fixed time, and they cannot violate the fixed time. That is, Bhogbhoomi humans must eat at the fixed time, so they cannot adopt Samyama. Without Samyama, one cannot attain liberation with only Samyagdarshan and knowledge. Shri Kundakundaacharya has said in the Pravachansara - "Sahaharaṇo astha asanjado vā ṇ ṇivyādi ||237||" Even one who has faith in substances, if he is unrestrained, does not attain Nirvana. This is also with faith and knowledge, but if one does not remove oneself from the unrestrained state of Vikalpa, such as raga, dvesha, etc., with the strength of character, like the strength of a man, then what good can knowledge and faith do? That is, knowledge and faith cannot do any good to this being. Therefore, without Samyama, one cannot attain the Siddha state with knowledge and faith.
Doubt - Can all Karmabhoomi humans attain Moksha?
Solution - Dravyastriyas cannot attain Moksha, because they cannot abandon their clothes.
Doubt - Can all men attain Moksha?
Solution - There are six khandas in the Karmabhoomi region. Of these, one is Aryakhanda and five are Mlechchhakhanda. Men born in the Mlechchhakhanda do not attain Moksha. In all the Mlechchhakhandas, there is one Mithya
