24/Go. Ma. Jivakaraast
Gatha 21-22 is the time. Similarly, there is a time for the birth of the following types of beings: sentient five-sense beings, non-sentient five-sense beings, four-sense beings, three-sense beings, two-sense beings, and one-sense beings.
The nature of the third Gunasthan is Sammamicchudayena ya jattarasanddhavikjjerana. Ranaya samm micch pi ya sammisso hodi parinaamo ||21|| Bahigudimiva bamissan puhbhavam pey karid sakkam.
Evam misssayabhavo sammamicchotti ranadayo2 ||22||
Maatharth-Samyagmithyatvaroop mishnparinaam jaatyantar sarvaghatiya samyagmithyatva prakriti ke uday ka karya hai. Yah mishraparinaam na samyaktvaroop hai aur na mithyatvaroop hai ||21 Just as the mixture of curd and jaggery produces a separate taste (jaatyantar) which cannot be separated, so should the mixed state of samyagmithyatvaroop be understood. ||22.
Vishesharth-The name of the third Gunasthan is Samyagmithyaashti. Drishti, Shraddha, Ruchi, and Pratyay (Pratiti) are synonymous names. A being with a mixed vision of both appropriate and inappropriate is a Samyagmithyadrishti being.
Shankha-It is not possible for a being to have both Samyak and Mithya vision simultaneously, as there is a contradiction in these two visions coexisting in a single being. If it is said that these two visions reside in a being sequentially, then they should be considered to be included in the independent Gunasthans named Samyagdristi and Mithyadristi. Therefore, a third Gunasthan called Samyagmithyadristi does not form.
Samadhan-A being with both appropriate and inappropriate Shraddha simultaneously is considered to be Samyagmithyadristi. There is no contradiction in believing this, because the soul is multi-faceted, therefore the coexistence of multiple facets in it is not impossible. If it is said that the soul is multi-faceted, this is a well-known fact, so it is not right to say that, because without Anekanta, Arthakriyakaaripana cannot be formed.
Alternatively, there are two types of contradictions. Parasparyaparharalaksana virodh and Sahaamavasthalaksana virodh. Of these, the contradiction of mutual exclusion in the infinite qualities of a substance is desirable. If the qualities are not considered to exist by excluding each other, then there is a possibility of losing their nature. However, this alone does not make the contradiction of coexistence possible in qualities. If the simultaneous existence of multiple qualities is considered to be the nature of contradiction, then the existence of the object itself cannot be formed, because the existence of the object is only caused by Anekanta. That which is capable of performing Arthakriya is an object; but this Arthakriya cannot be formed in a single aspect, because if Arthakriya is considered to be one, then again:
