Tesiccha Samasehi Ya Vīsaviham Va Hu Hodi Sudaragaṇam | Prāvaraṇassa Vi Bhedā Tattiyamettā Havanti Ti ||31||
Gāpārtha-Paryāya, Akshara, Pada, Sanghata, Pratipattik, Anuyoga, Prābhrita Prābhrita, Prābhrita Vastu and Pūrva these ten and ten their samāsa like Paryāyasamāsa etc., in this way there are twenty types of Śruta-jñāna. There are also the same number of types of Śruta-jñāna-āvaraṇa. ||317-318||
Viśeṣārtha—Paryāya, Paryāyasamāsa, Akshara, Aksharasamāsa, Pada, Padasamāsa, Sanghata, Sanghatasamāsa, Pratipatti, Pratipattisamāsa, Anuyogadvāra, Anuyogadvārasamāsa, Prābhrita Prābhrita, Prābhrita Prābhritasamāsa, Prābhrita, Prābhritasamāsa, Vastu, Vastusamāsa, Pūrva and Pūrvasamāsa, these twenty types of Śruta-jñāna should be known.
"Samāsa" should be related to each one, otherwise there cannot be twenty types of Śruta-jñāna.
Akshara (Avināśī) known as Kevala-jñāna, its infinite parts are the measure of Lakṣyakṣara-jñāna, when the part of all beings is given in this knowledge, then the infinite multiplication of all beings is obtained by the division of knowledge, the obtained is mixed with the Labdhyakṣara-jñāna, then Paryāya-jñāna is produced.
Śaṅkā - What is the name of Paryāya? Samādhāna - The name of Paryāya is the projection (mixing) of the divisions of knowledge.
When the part of all beings (infinite) is given in Paryāya-jñāna, then the obtained is mixed with the same Paryāya-jñāna, then Paryāyasamāsa-jñāna is produced. (When there is an infinite increase in Paryāya-jñāna) Paryāyasamāsa-jñāna is produced. Again, due to the increase of Ṣaṭsthāna-patita, countless Lokamātra Paryāyasamāsa-jñāna is produced. In this way, countless Lokapramāṇa Paryāyasamāsa-jñāna is obtained, but Paryāya-jñāna is only of one type. The samāsa of projections is in the knowledge-places, those knowledge-places are called Paryāya-samāsa, but where there is only one projection, that knowledge is called Paryāya. Paryāyasamāsa-jñāna should be taken up to the completion of Akshara-jñāna. The knowledge that goes on increasing one by one Akshara from Akshara-jñāna onwards is called Aksharasamāsa. Here, there are no six dhyānas beyond Akshara-jñāna, but some Ācāryas say that there is only an increase in Akshara in the order of double, triple, etc., but some Ācāryas say that there is an increase of six types of Kṣayopasama-jñāna from Akshara-jñāna onwards. But their statement does not happen, because it is not possible to have six types of increase above Akshara-jñāna, which is the countable part of all Śruta-jñāna.
