## Name |
This chapter is popularly known as the "Fourth Karmapranya," but its real name is "Shadsheetik." It is called "Chauya Farmgranth" because it is the fourth in the six Karmagranths. And the name "Shadsheetik" is assigned because it contains sixty-six original verses. This chapter is also called "Sukma Bichar" because the author has mentioned the phrase "Suhamstah Viyaroh" at the end of the text. Thus, it is clear that all three names of this chapter are meaningful.
Although the version published by Shri Bhimso Majik in "Prakaran Ratnakar Chaturth Bhag" from Nirnayasagar Press, Bombay, contains ninety-nine original verses, it is not the original version. Because the three verses that appear in the second, third, and fourth positions in the original version are not actually original, but are the subject-collection verses of this chapter. That is, these verses demonstrate what the main topics are in this chapter and how many other topics are related to each main topic. Therefore, the author has quoted these three verses in his own commentary, but has not taken them as original and has not commented on them.
