Gommatasar Karmakanda-412
Why is there no vidhyat or gunasankrama (transmission of qualities) after the bandhanucched (cessation of bondage) of Prashasthavarna, gandha, rasa, and sparsa, agushlagghu, parghāt, ucchvas, prashasthavihayogati, tras, badar, paryāpt, each body, sthira, and six other creations?
**Solution:** This is not a fault, because they are prashasthaprakriti (noble qualities).
There is only an adhapravrittasankrama (downward transmission) of sanchalanalobha (desire for movement), because their transmission occurs through anupurvisankrama (sequential transmission) - like the transmission of sajvalankrodha (burning anger) to sajvalanmana (burning mind), sajvalanmana to sajvalanmaya (burning matter), and so on - only when there is bondage.
**Doubt:** Why is there not a sarvasankrama (universal transmission) of these prakritis?
**Solution:** No, because their destruction does not occur by being thrown into other prakritis. There are four other types of sankrama besides udvelanasankrama (upward transmission) of the three nidra (sleep) - styanagridhi, etc., twelve kshaya (passions), strived (female karma), napunsakaved (eunuch karma), arati (disgust), shoka (sorrow), tiryanagati (animal rebirth), ekaindriya-dviindriya-triindriya-chaturindriya jati (one-sense, two-sense, three-sense, four-sense beings), tiryanagatiprayogyanupurvi (sequential karma leading to animal rebirth), aatap (heat), udyot (radiance), sthavar (stationary), sukshma (subtle), and sadharana (ordinary) body; a total of thirty prakritis.
These are:
1. **Adhapravrittasankrama:** The three styanagridhi, strived, tiryanagati, tiryanagatiprayogyanupurvi, udyot, and the four anantanubandhi (infinitely connected) from mithyatva (false belief) to sasadan gunasthan (the state of having attained the knowledge of the six substances). This is because their bondage is found there.
2. **Vidhyatsankrama:** From sambhagmithyatva (mixed false belief) to apramattasanyat gunasthan (the state of being perfectly restrained) because there is no bondage of these prakritis there.
3. **Gunasankrama:** From the first time of kshapakapurvakaran gunasthan (the state of having destroyed the karmic matter) to the dwicharampali (the second extreme) of their respective antam sthitikraandak (the final state of existence). The antam pali (final state) has sarvasankrama (universal transmission).
4. **Adhapravrittasankrama:** Napunsakaved, ekaindriya-dviindriya-triindriya-chaturindriya jati, aatap, sthavar, sukshma, and sadharana body from mithyatva gunasthan (the state of false belief) because their bondage is found there.
5. **Vidhyatsankrama:** From sasadan gunasthan (the state of having attained the knowledge of the six substances) to apramattasanyat gunasthan (the state of being perfectly restrained) because there is no bondage there due to their being aprashastha (non-noble).
6. **Vidhyatsankrama:** Ekaindriya-dviindriya-triindriya-chaturindriya, aatap, sthavar, sukshma, and sadharana body in deva (divine) and naraka (hell) mithyadrishti (false views) because there is no bondage of these prakritis there.
**Special Note:** Ekaindriya, aatap, and sthavar prakritis are sankrama (transmissible) through adhapravrittasankrama (downward transmission) up to the ishanakalp (the state of being a god) because their bondage is seen there.
7. **Gunasankrama:** From the first time of apurvakaran (the state of having destroyed the karmic matter) to the dwicharampali (the second extreme) of their respective antam sthitikraandak (the final state of existence) because there is no bondage there due to their being aprashastha (non-noble). The antam pali (final state) has sarvasankrama (universal transmission) because its destruction occurs with nikshepa (throwing away).
8. **Adhapravrittasankrama:** The four apratyakhyanavaran (non-rejectable coverings) from mithyatva (false belief) to asanyat gunasthan (the state of being unrestrained).
