Chapter 652
**Doubt:** How can the first Samyaktva arise in countless oceans devoid of living beings?
**Solution:** It is not possible, because even there, the emergence of Nirya Samyaktva, brought about by the actions of the former enemy gods, is found to be prevalent.
**Doubt:** Why does Samyaktva not arise in the upper Anu-disha and Anuttara Vimāna-vāsi Devas, above the Navagraha?
**Solution:** It does not arise because the rule is that only Samyagdṛṣṭi beings are born in them.
"In the ocean, the Patu-vago, the Niḍha-vago, and the Majjhimo are all worthy of being worshipped. In the same way, in the Joga, the Jahan-nago is also worthy of being worshipped." - The being who begins the process of pacifying Darshan-moha is called a Prasthāpaka from the first moment of Adhaḥ-pravṛtta-karaṇa to the end. That being is suitable for Sākāra, that is, the use of knowledge, because at that time there is opposition to the tendency of Darshan-upayoga in the form of Pavichāra. Therefore, only one of the three, Mati, Śruta, and Vibhang, is used by him, not the Anākāra use. Because the A-vimarshaka and the general-grasping consciousness-based use cannot lead to the attainment of Samyagdarshan, which is characterized by the Tattvārtha-dṛṣṭi, which is the nature of Vimarshaka. Only a being who has evolved from the awakened state is capable of attaining Samyaktva, not others, because the Nir-drā-rūpa-parināma is contrary in nature to the Viśuddhi-rūpa-parināmas, which are capable of attaining Samyaktva. Thus, by establishing the rule of Sākāra-upayoga for the Prasthāpaka, in the Niṣṭhāpaka state and in the Madhyama (middle) state, one of the two, Sākāra-upayoga and Anākāra-upayoga, is to be worshipped. The being who ends the pacification of Darshan-moha is called a Niṣṭhāpaka. He is a Niṣṭhāpaka when he has the tendency to enter the interior by gradually dissolving all the first states. There is no contradiction in being a Niṣṭhāpaka with either Sākāra-upayoga or Anākāra-upayoga. The same should be said for the Madhyama state.
Of the three Leshyas, Pīta, Padma, and Śukla, one is the Vardhamāna Leshya by rule. None of these Leshyas are Hiyamāna. This being does not have the three inauspicious Leshyas, namely Kṛṣṇa, Nīla, and Kāpota.
**Doubt:** The rule of the three auspicious Leshyas, Vardhamāna, is not established here, because the three inauspicious Leshyas are also possible when they are engaged in the emergence of Samyaktva of the Nārakas.
**Solution:** This is not a fault, because it has been said in relation to the Tiryanchas and the Manusyas.
