Gana 372: Hiyaman, Vardhaman, Avashthit, Anavasthit, Anugaami, Ananugaami, Sapratipaati, Apratipaati, Ekakshetra and Anekakshetra. ||56|| Out of these, the explanation of Ekakshetra and Anekakshetra has been given in the commentary of Gana 371, therefore, these two will not be explained here. The explanation of Deshavadhi, Parmavadhi and Mavidhi will be given later.
Although the Gatha states that there are six types of Gunapratyay Avadhijnana, the term Gunapratyay should be understood here as general Avadhijnana.
Doubt: Why should we not understand that Gunapratyay Avadhijnana is of many types?
Solution: No, because even in Bhavapratyay Abadhijnana, Avashthit, Anavasthit, Anugaami and Ananugaami distinctions are available.
The Avadhijnana which arises like the moon in the dark fortnight, decreases without any growth and permanence until it is completely destroyed, is Hiyaman Avadhijnana. It is included in Deshavadhi, but not in Parmavadhi and Sarvavadhi, because there is no loss in Parmavadhi and Sarvavadhi. The Avadhijnana which arises like the moon in the bright fortnight, increases until it attains its highest potential and produces Kevalajnana in the next moment and is destroyed, without any permanence in each moment, is Vardhaman Avadhijnana. It is included in Deshavadhi, Parmavadhi and Sarvavadhi, because it is supported by all three types of knowledge. The Avadhijnana which arises and sometimes increases, sometimes decreases and sometimes remains stable is Anavasthit Avadhijnana. The Avadhijnana which arises and remains stable like the sun, without any growth or loss, until the birth of Kevalajnana, is Avashthit Avadhijnana. The Avadhijnana which arises and goes with the Jiva is Anugaami Avadhijnana. It is of three types: Kshetranugaami, Bhavanugaami and Kshetra-Bhavanugaami. Out of these, the Avadhijnana which arises in one Kshetra and does not get destroyed when the Jiva moves to its own Kshetra or another Kshetra due to its own effort or the effort of others, is Kshetranugaami Avadhijnana. The Avadhijnana which arises and goes with the Jiva to another Bhav is Bhavanugaami Avadhijnana. The Avadhijnana which goes with the Jiva in Kshetras like Bharat, Airawat and Videha, and also in the Bhavas of Dev, Narak, Manusya and Tiyach, is Kshetra-Bhavanugaami Avadhijnana. The Ananugaami Avadhijnana is Kshetrananugaami, Bhavananugaami and Kshetrabhavananugaami. The Avadhijnana which does not go with the Jiva to another Kshetra, but goes with the Jiva to another Bhav, is Kshetrananugaami Avadhijnana. The Avadhijnana which does not go with the Jiva to another Bhav, but goes with the Jiva to another Kshetra, is Bhavananugaami Avadhijnana. The Avadhijnana which does not go with the Jiva to another Kshetra or Bhav, but remains connected with the same Kshetra and Bhav, is Kshetra-Bhavananugaami Avadhijnana. The Avadhijnana which arises and attains complete destruction is Sapratipaati Avadhijnana. It is not included in the aforementioned Avadhijnana, because Hiyaman, Vardhaman, Anavasthit, Avashthit, Anugaami and Ananugaami, all six
