Although the description of the six substances and five states of being is, in terms of its essence, the nature of the pure, knowing, and living being, it is still considered to be generated by karma due to its arising from the destruction of karma. It is a pure consequence, and it is completely independent of direct karma. Here, the explanation is that the mixed, pacifying, and destructive states are the causes of liberation. The arising state, along with delusion, is the cause of bondage. The pure consequence is neither the cause of bondage nor liberation. This is the meaning. Thus, it is said: "The mixed, pacifying, and destructive states, they bring about liberation. The arising state brings about bondage, the consequential state is inactive." ||56||
Thus, in the second inner space, one verse-sutra has been spoken, primarily about the five states of being.
Hindi Meaning Commentary Verse 56:
Uttanika - Further, in the introduction, the five states of being of the living being, which were mentioned earlier, are explained.
Meaning with Anvaya: (Those qualities of the living being) They are spread out in many forms (in the many truths) in the famous scriptures of the living being. (In the arising states) those arising from the arising, (in the pacifying states) those arising from the pacifying, (in the destructive states) those arising from the destruction of karma, (in the mixed states) those arising from the mixture of destruction and pacifying, and (in the consequential states) those arising from the consequential states.
Special Meaning: Here, the commentator has taken the reading "bahusu dasatyasu vitthina" and interpreted it as meaning that these five states have been elaborated upon in many scriptures. Of these five states, the arising, pacifying, and mixed states are dependent on karma. Although the destructive state is only in the form of knowledge, etc., and it is the nature of the pure, knowing, and living being by its very nature, it is still generated by the destruction of karma. Therefore, this state is also dependent on karma. The pure consequential state is independent of direct karma. Here, the meaning is that this explanation should be understood as follows: the mixed, pacifying, and destructive states are the causes of liberation, and the arising state, along with delusion, is the cause of bondage. The pure consequential state is neither the cause of bondage nor liberation. As it is said:
The three states, mixed, etc., bring about liberation, the arising state brings about bondage, and the consequential state is devoid of the action of bondage and liberation. ||56||
In this way, in the second inner space, one verse-sutra has been spoken, primarily about the five states of being.
