## Jnanamarga Prapa/461
**Solution not found, because it is not the Dharma of the Dravyashraatma. The Pragama designation it has received is obtained through treatment. In reality, it is not Pragama.**
**Muktiparayant, the actions like Aṇimā etc. that cause the attainment of the desired object are called Labdhi. The Pragama from which the tradition of these Labdhis is obtained or in which their attainment is said to occur is called Paramparalagdhi, i.e., Pragama. Uttara Prativacana is another name for it. The Shruta which does not have an answer is called Shruta Anuttara. Or, the meaning of the word Uttara is more, since no other principle is found beyond it, therefore, this Shruta is called Anuttara.**
**It describes the nature of Jivadi substances as not being touched by the Kutiyas, i.e., by the senses, therefore, the twelve-limbed, Varna-Pantayatmak is called Pravacana. Or, because of this knowledge being the cause, the Jivadi meanings are said without contradiction to the Pramana etc., therefore, the twelve-limbed Bhavatha Shruta is called Pravacana.**
**Doubt - How does knowledge obtain the quality of being a Karan (cause)?**
**Solution - Not found, because without knowledge, there cannot be a tendency towards a non-contradictory statement in the meaning. It is also not right to say that this cause will have an adulteration with the statements of the Supta and Matta, because there is no rule for them being non-contradictory.**
**That which has excellent statements is Pravacani, according to this etymology, the name of Bhavagama is Pravacani. Or, that which is said is Pravacana, according to this etymology, Pravacana is said to be the object of the statement. It is in it, therefore, the twelve-limbed Grantha, which is the Upaadana Karanaka, is called Pravacani. Adha is called time, the time of excellent, i.e., beautiful statements, in which the Shruta exists, is called Pravacanaakha, i.e., Shruta-Jnana.**
**Doubt - Why is there a tendency towards beautiful statements only in the state transformed by Shruta-Jnana?**
**Solution - This is not a fault, because there is an absence of Ragaaditrika [Raga, Dvesha, Moha] which are the causes of unbeautiful statements.**
**"Those which are said." According to this etymology, the meaning of the word Vachana is Jivadi substances. That in which the statements are excellent, is Pravacana, the twelve-limbed Shruta-Jnana, which is famous for its closeness.**
**Doubt - What is Sannikarsha?**
**Solution - When one Dharma is intended in one object, the consideration of the truthfulness of the remaining Dharmas in it, and when one Dharma out of the said Dharmas residing in it attains excellence, the consideration of the excellence and non-excellence of the remaining Dharmas is called Sannikarsha.**
