## Gatha 23-24
## Gunasthan /25
The attainment of the same process again, and if it is considered to be of many forms, then there is a contradiction in the action of meaning in the one-sided aspect due to the Anekant defect. From this statement, the Anekant defect does not arise even with the conscious and unconscious, because both conscious and unconscious are not qualities. Those who are harmonious are called qualities, but these two are not always harmonious, because in the absence of the state of bondage, both conscious and unconscious are not found together. The second point is that if the cause of the origin of two opposite dharmas is considered to be the same, i.e., one, then there is a contradiction. All these statements are not hypothetical, because along with the non-abandonment of other deities accepted earlier, there is also a being with faith in the form of Samyagmithya who is also a deva.
Here, the example of curd and jaggery is given, which means that the taste of curd is sour and the taste of jaggery is sweet, and when both curd and jaggery are mixed, the mixed taste of sour-sweet becomes a separate kind (Jatyantar) of taste. Just as it is not possible to separate the sourness or sweetness from the mixed substance of curd and jaggery, similarly, Samyagmithyatva is also Jatyantar, which is neither Samyattva nor Mithyatva, but a mixed form of both, from which it is not possible to separate Samyaktva or Mithyatva.
## Characteristics of this Gunasthan
So, Sanjam is not grasped, nor is Besanjam, nor is the bondage of raga. Samma or Miccha, whichever is abandoned, dies according to the rule. ||23||
When the Sammat-Miccha is bound in the past, in the results, then death occurs according to the rule, having attained that Samyaktva or Mithyatva result, because it has not died in the mixed (Samyagmithyatva) and the Marananta-Samudghta is also not in the mixed state. ||24||
## Explanation
That Samyagmithyadristi Sanjam, or Desasanjam, is not grasped, nor does it blind the lifespan. In the results of Samyaktva or Mithyatva, whichever result has been bound in the past, according to the rule, it dies having attained that Samyaktva or Mithyatva result, because it has not died in the mixed (Samyagmithyatva) and the Marananta-Samudghta is also not in the mixed state. ||23-24||
## Special Explanation
Samyagmithyadristi beings do not have such purity in their results that they can grasp Sanjam, i.e., Mahavrata or Desasanjam, i.e., Anuvrata. It is also said:
"Nay marai, ney sanjammuved, tah besasanjam va vi.
Samm-amicchavitthi na u marantam samudghashri." [Dhaval Pu. 4 p. 346]
Samyagmithyadristi beings neither die, nor attain Sanjam, nor attain Desasanjam, and they also do not have Marananta-Samudghta.
