## Gunasthana/13
The **Samyagmithyatva Gunasthana** arises from the absence of the arising of the deadly competitors of Mithyatva and Anantanubandhi, the destruction of these competitors, the arising and destruction of the country-destroying competitors of Samyaktva nature, the absence of the arising of the country-destroying competitors that are present in existence, and the arising of the deadly competitors of Samyagmithyatva karma. Therefore, it is **Kshayopaamik**.
Here, the term **Kshayopaamik** is used to explain the **Samyagmithyatva Gunasthana** to those who are just beginning to study the theory. In reality, **Samyagmithyatva karma** is incapable of destroying the **Mapt-Pagam** and **Padartha** related **Shraddha** in a definitive way. However, its arising gives birth to **Shraddha** that simultaneously considers both **Sat-Sameechin** and **Asat-Asameechin** substances. Therefore, the **Samyagmithyatva Gunasthana** is called **Kshayopaamik**.
If the **Kshayopaamik** nature of the **Samyagmithyatva Gunasthana** is not considered due to the arising of **Samyagmithyatva** nature in this **Mulastana**, then the **Kshayopaamik** nature cannot be established in the **Samyagmithyatva Gunasthana** attained by **Upshama Samyagdristi**. This is because, in such a state, the **Samyaktva** nature, **Mithyatva**, and **Anantanubandhi** do not experience the absence of arising and destruction.
**Doubt:** Does the **Upshama Samyaktva** experienced by a being in the third **Gunasthana** experience the absence of arising of **Samyaktva** nature, **Mithyatva**, and **Anantanubandhi**?
**Solution:** No, because this would imply the existence of **Praupaamik** nature in the third **Gunasthana**.
**Doubt:** Should we consider the existence of **Praupaamik** nature in the third **Gunasthana**?
**Solution:** No, because there is no supporting statement in the scriptures that supports the existence of **Praupaamik** nature in the third **Gunasthana**. In other words, the scriptures do not mention the existence of **Praupaamik** nature in the third **Gunasthana** in the past.
If we consider the arising of **Kshayopaamik** nature from the destruction of **Mithyatva** and other karmas in the third **Gunasthana**, then we would also have to consider the **Mithyatva Gunasthana** as **Kshayopaamik**. This is because, in the **Mithyatva Gunasthana**, the destruction of the competitors that have attained the state of arising of **Samyagmithyatva karma** in relation to **Samyaktva**, the absence of arising of these competitors that are present in existence, and the arising of the deadly competitors of **Mithyatva karma** lead to the birth of the **Mithyatva Gunasthana**.
The meaning of this statement is that the third **Gunasthana** does not experience **Kshayopaamik** nature from the destruction of **Mithyatva**, **Samyaktva** nature, and **Anantanubandhi karma**. Instead, it experiences a **Mishrabhav** (mixed state) due to the arising of **Mishra Prakriti** (mixed nature).
**Asanyata Samyagdristi** is a state that is **Aupaamik**, **Kshayik**, and **Kshayopaamik**. It arises from the absence of arising of the deadly competitors of **Mithyatva** and **Samyagmithyatva** nature, and the country-destroying competitors of **Samyaktva** nature. Therefore, **Asanyata Samyagdristi** is an **Aupaamik** state.
This state arises from the destruction of these three natures.
