I will now speak of the five Astikayas and six Brahvyakas (Paryatyabhangam), the nine substances that differentiate (Mokkassa) and show the path to liberation (Khocchami).
**Special Meaning:** In the first half of this verse, the author has paid homage to his beloved deity for auspiciousness. This also indicates that the statement of Shri Mahavira Swami is evidence because he preached the great Dharma, the Tirtha, which came in this Ratna Trayamayi (three jewels) tendency. Therefore, he is the cause of cooperation for the Bhavyas, the thirsty souls for the nectar of liberation, the happiness of liberation, for the attainment of infinite knowledge and other qualities, the liberation, in the tradition of the last Tirthankara, Shri Mahavira Swami. In the second half of this verse, the author has pledged that I will describe the nine substances which are the subject of Samyag Darshan and Samyag Gyan, the limbs of the practical path of liberation. This practical path of liberation is the cause of the certain path of liberation in the tradition. Where there is pure soul's interest, perception and unwavering experience, it is called Abhed Ratna Tray or the certain path of liberation. Although there is a special explanation of the path of liberation in the Chulika in this book, there is also a brief explanation of the nine substances here because these nine substances are the subject of the practical path of liberation, this is the intention.
**Path of Liberation:**
The path of liberation is characterized by:
* **Samyaktva-Jnana-Yuktam:** Combined with right faith and knowledge.
* **Rag-Dos Parihinam:** Free from attachment and aversion.
* **Charitram:** Right conduct.
* **Labdh-Buddhinaam:** Those who have attained wisdom.
* **Bhavyanam:** Those who are worthy of liberation.
**Explanation:**
This is the first indication of the path of liberation.
* It is only combined with right faith and knowledge, not with wrong faith and ignorance.
* It is only right conduct, not wrong conduct.
* It is only free from attachment and aversion, not with attachment and aversion.
* It is only the path of liberation, not the path of bondage.
* It is only the path, not the wrong path.
* It is only for those who are worthy of liberation, not for those who are not.
* It is only for those who have attained wisdom, not for those who have not.
* It is only for those who have destroyed their passions, not for those who have not.
This is the eightfold rule that should be observed.
**Meaning:**
Combined with right faith and knowledge, free from attachment and aversion, right conduct, for those who have attained wisdom, for those who are worthy of liberation, the path of liberation is attained.
