'Honti Arinayattini Te Padisamayam Jesssimekkaparinama. Vimalyara - Karana - Huyavaha - Sihahi Niddhada Kamma - Varana ||57|| (Jummam)
Gathaarth Just as there is a difference in the constitution etc. of beings existing in the same time (period), in the same way, those who do not attain mutual cessation (difference) in respect of their Jona results, are called Anivrittikarana. Their Prati-samaya (corresponding time) results are the same, increasing progressively with infinite virtues and purity. They burn away the karma-body with the flames of the pure meditation-fire. || 56-57 ||
Vishesharth - The uninterrupted growth of the results of beings existing in the same time is called Anivritti. Or, the word Nivritti also means Vyavritti (separation), therefore, those results which do not have Nivritti, i.e. Vyavritti, are called Anivritti.
The beings who have the Gunasthan of Anivrittikarana, all of them, even though they exist in the same time, in respect of the past, present and future, are still of the same result, and therefore, the Gunashreni of these beings is also the same. If those who have the Gunasthan of Anivrittikarana, existing in the same time, are said to have different results, then just as the results of those who have the Gunasthan of Purvakarana, existing in the same time, are different, therefore, they cannot be called Anivritti, in the same way, these results also cannot be called Anivrittikarana.
Shankha There are many results of this type in the A-purvakarana Gunasthan, therefore, these results should also be called Anivritti.
Samadhan - No, because there is no rule for their being without Nivritti.
Shankha - How do we know that the uninterrupted growth of the results of beings in this Gunasthan is intended for beings existing in the same time?
Samadhan - This is proved by the repetition of the word 'A-purvakara', that in this Gunasthan, there is a difference in the results of the beings of the first time etc. with the beings of the second time etc. This means that the word 'A-nivritti' is related only to the results of the same time.
Shankha - Why are there not as many Gunasthan as there are results?
Samadhan - No, because if there are as many Gunasthan as there are results, then there will be no practice, therefore, according to the Prathyarthika Nay, only those Gunasthan which have a fixed number have been called Gunasthan.
