188. Question: What are the **vyakshadeva** (characteristics) on both sides?
Answer: According to some **acharyas**, there are no **sasadan gunasthana** (stages of purification) in **ekendriya** (one-sensed) and **vikalatraya** (three-fold affliction). Therefore, the **ekendriya**, **sthavar** (stationary), and **dwi-indriyadi** (two-sensed and above) three **jati** (species) have their **udaya** (arising) and **vyuchchitti** (cessation) in the first **gunasthana** (stage of purification). As a result, there are 10 **prakriti** (elements) in the first and 4 in the second. In the penultimate stage of the twelfth **gunasthana**, there are 2, and in the final stage, there are 14, making a total of 16 **vyuchchitti**. In the fourteenth **gunasthana**, due to being mutually contradictory, **sata** (true) and **asata** (false) **avedaniya** (non-cognizable) do not arise simultaneously. Therefore, 1 **vyuchchitti** is considered in the thirteenth and 1 in the fourteenth. However, considering different **jiva** (souls), both can arise simultaneously, making the options 26, 13 and 30, 12. Here, the **udaya** (arising) is described as **tribhangi** (three-fold) according to the **mata** (opinion) of **Bhutbali Acharya**.
186. Question: Which 5 **prakriti** (elements) are **vyuchchhinna** (ceased) in the **mithyadristi** (false belief) **gunasthana** (stage of purification)?
Answer: **Mithyatva** (falsehood), **atapas** (heat), **sukshma** (subtle), **aparayapta** (insufficient), and **sadharana** (ordinary), these five **prakriti** (elements) have their **udaya** (arising) and **vyuchchitti** (cessation) in the first **gunasthana** (stage of purification).
