Gommatasara Karmakanda-235
**Special Meaning:** The emergence of Asata, devoid of infinite qualities, with the power of infinite sections, is due to the fact that in the past, the power of sections of Asata Vedaniya has been diminished by numerous section-causing factors, and there is also a lack of support from the Mohaniya. Therefore, there is a subtle, unmanifest emergence of Asata Vedaniya. And the essence of the Satavedaniya is infinite in its sections. The abundance of the state of Satavedaniya arises from afflictions, and the abundance of sections arises from purity. Therefore, due to the special purity in the श्रेणी, there is an excellent section-bond (at the end of the subtle Saṃpārāya). Then, the same unstruck section is also found in the Kevali. (Dhavala 12/16-18) Thus, the section, essence, and emergence of Satavedaniya in the Kevali are infinite. Therefore, the emergence of Asata is also obstructed by the Satavedaniya, which is present in the emergence and has infinite sections.
**Doubt:** Some say that Satavedaniya is transformed into the form of Asata. Why is this not said?
**Solution:** The state-bond of Satava is not of two times, but is of one time, in the form of emergence. Otherwise, it would lead to the implication of the bondage of Asata, which is not possible. Because, the Satava, which binds while having the state of one time in the form of emergence, does not exist in the previous time. Therefore, the state-bond-transition of Satava into the form of Asata is not possible.
Another point is that, according to the sutras "Ekaadasha Jinē" and "Vedaniye Seshaḥ" in the Tattvartha Sutra, the 11 Pariṣaha that occur due to the cause of Vedaniya karma are said to be those of the Kevali. The reason for this is that, although the emergence of Asata Vedaniya is found in the Kevali, the occurrence of its functional Pariṣaha is said only as a remedy. Primarily, the Kevali is devoid of Pariṣaha.

**Doubt:** It is true that only the emergence of one of Satava and Asata is possible. But when Asata Vedaniya emerges along with Satava in the emergence of Mahatmas who are in the Gunasthana of Upaśāntakaṣāya, etc., then both of them have to be considered as emerging together. The reason for this is that the emergence of Asata is possible for all beings up to the Sayoga Kevali. (Go. Ka, 271) And the newly bound Satava, which has attained the state of Iryāpatha Āsrava, is always emerging by its very nature.
**Solution:** That is correct. In the fourteenth Gunasthana, only one of Satava and Asata emerges. In the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth Gunasthana, when the bound Asata of the ancient time emerges, the newly bound Satava, which is of one time state, also emerges. Therefore, in these three Gunasthana, the emergence of both the newly bound Satava and the ancient Asata is possible.
