Gommatasar Karmakanda - 754
Meaning - From the nine substances, including the soul, who knows that each one is 'asti' (existent) in its own nature? Who knows that the soul is 'nasti' (non-existent) in its own nature? Who knows that the soul is 'astinasti' (both existent and non-existent) in its own nature? Or who knows that it is 'avaktvy' (indescribable)? And who knows that the soul is in these seven 'bhang' (aspects) due to the combination of the remaining three 'bhang'? When multiplied by seven (7x9), there are 63 'bhang'. And first, write 'shuddhapadarth' (pure substance), then write 'asti', 'nasti', 'astinasti', and 'avaktvy' above it.
From these two lines, four 'bhang' arise, such as: Who knows that the pure substance is 'asti' (existent)? Who knows that the pure substance is 'nasti' (non-existent)? Who knows that the pure substance is 'astinasti' (both existent and non-existent)? Who knows that the pure substance is 'avaktvy' (indescribable)? In this way, by combining these with the above 63 'bhang' (63+4), there are 67 'bhang' for the ignorant. Ignorant people believe that they do not know the object.
"Formation of 63 'bhang'"
Jiva (soul) - Ajiv (non-soul) - Asrav (inflow) - Bandh (bondage) - Sanvar (stoppage) - Nirjara (destruction) - Moksha (liberation) - Puny (merit) - Pap (demerit) - Sat (true) - Asat (false) - Sad-asat (both true and false) - Avachya (indescribable) - Sad-vachya (describable as true) - Asad-vachya (describable as false) - Sad-asad-vachya (describable as both true and false)
"Formation of 4 'bhang'"
Sat (true) - Asat (false) - Sad-asat (both true and false) - Avachya (indescribable)
Shuddhapadarth (pure substance)
Then, the fundamental 'bhang' of the Vainayikvada are called:

Man-vayan-kayada-an-gavina-bi-suran-ivadana-an-ji-divu-he. Bale-madu-pidu-mmi-ya, kadavvo-chedi-ad-acha-u. || 888 ||
Meaning - One should show respect to the gods, kings, wise men, ascetics, elders, children, mothers, and fathers, with their mind, speech, and body, and by giving charity. In this way, there are 8x4=32 aspects of Vainayikvada. (Vainayikvadis believe that one attains liberation only through respect without examining the qualities and defects of the object of respect.)
"Formation of 32 'bhang'"
Sur (gods) - Nripati (kings) - Yati (ascetics) - Gnani (wise men) - Vridh (elders) - Bal (children) - Mata (mothers) - Pita (fathers)
Man (mind) - Vachan (speech) - Kay (body) - Dan (charity)
