**Or, the forceful speech, that is, the Jiva and other substances, which are described in the form of Anekanta, is the Pravacham-Sannyasa, that is, the aforementioned Dvadasanga Shruta-jnana.**
**Naya, Nangamadi, etc. are the principles. They are described in the form of Sat and Asat, etc. This is the Naya-vidhi-Pagam.**
**Or, the Naya-vidhi-Yagam is the one in which the Jiva and other substances are described by the Naya, Nangamadi, etc.**
**Nayantara, that is, the seven hundred divisions of the Naya, Nangamadi, etc., are described by the elimination of the Sankarya of the subject. This is the Nayantara-vidhi, that is, Shruta-shana.**
**Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Shila, Guna, Naya, Vachan, and Dravya, etc., are called Bhangas. The one by which they are described is the Bhang-vidhi, that is, Shruta-jnana.**
**Or, the meaning of Bhang is the destruction of the substance, which is inseparable from the state and origin. The one by which it is described is the Bhang-vidhi, that is, Shruta.**
**The meaning of Vidhi is description. The Vidhi of Bhangas, that is, the Bhang-vidhi-vishesh, is the one by which the differences are described separately, that is, Shruta-jnana.**
**The question about the Vidhi-nishedha of Dravya, Guruga, and Paryaya is called Prichcha. The one by which the order and disorder of it, and the Prayashchitta, are described is the Prichcha-vidhi, that is, Shruta.**
**Or, the meaning of the question is Prichcha. The one by which it is described, that is, spoken, is the Prichcha-vidhi-Shruta.**
**To describe is Vidhi. The Vidhi of Prichcha is Prichcha-vidhi. The one by which it is specified is the Prichcha-vidhi-vishesh.**
**Arihant, Acharya, Upadhyaya, and Sadhu are the ones who are eligible to be asked questions. These are the only types of questions. All of these are described in the Chakra-siddhant. Therefore, this is the name of the Prichcha-vidhi-vishesh. This is the meaning of the aforementioned statement.**
**'Tat' refers to Vidhi. The meaning of 'Tat' is Tattva.**
**Doubt: How is Shruta the name of Vidhi?**
**Solution: Since it describes the existence of the subject of all Naya, therefore, Shruta is the appropriate name for Vidhi.**
**Tattva is Shruta-jnana. Agam was in the past, therefore, its name is Bhut. It is in the present, therefore, its name is Bhavy. It will be in the future, therefore, its name is Bhavishyat. Agam is in the past, future, and present. This is the meaning of the aforementioned statement. Thus, Agam is eternal.**
**Doubt: If this is the case, then how does Pagam get the context of Apaurusheya?**
**Solution: No, because Agam is accepted as Apaurusheya due to the relationship between the speaker and the spoken, and due to the flow of the words, sentences, and verses.**
**From this statement, one should understand that the speech composed by Hari, Hara, and Hiranyagarbha, etc., is not Agam. Vithath and Asatya are synonymous words. The Shruta-jnana in which Vithathpana is not found is Astith, that is, Tathya. The speech of Mithyashtis, which is not true in the present, is not Agam.**
