Verse 451
Knowledge Path/521 Verse Meaning- The evidence of the depletion of the audaric body in one time is the javan dravya of the righteous, and the depletion of the excellent eye sense is the dravya of the evidence. ||451||
Special Meaning- He knows the dravya that is obtained by the depletion of the audaric body in one time, which is related to the infinite and infinite visrasopachya from the inferior dravya, and he knows the dravya that is obtained by the depletion of the sense in one time, which is excellent. The knower of the righteous mind-perception knows all the dravya alternatives of the middle of the excellent and the inferior.
The righteous mind-perception knowledge knows the depletion of the audaric body in one time from the inferior.
Doubt- The depletion of the audaric body is of three types, inferior, excellent and other than that. Which depletion does he know?
Solution- He knows the depletion of the audaric body other than that, because there is a general instruction here.
Doubt- He knows the depletion of the eye sense from the knowledge path.
Doubt- There is no difference between the depletion of the audaric body and the depletion of the sense. Because, there is no audaric body other than the senses?
Solution- This is not a fault, because all the senses are not taken here.
Doubt- Then which sense is taken?
Solution- The eye sense is taken, because it is the least evidence form compared to the other senses and is also associated with the smoothness, i.e. subtlety, of its initial pudgals.
Doubt- The eye sense is seen to be larger than the nose and ear senses?
Solution- This is not so, because the eye sense has accepted the star in the form of a lentil in the middle of the eyeball.

Solution- The depletion other than that is taken, because there is a general instruction for it.
