The path to complete liberation (Moksha) is only possible for those who have attained the five great vows (Panchaastikaya). As long as there are passions (Kashaya) and the soul is impure, the path to complete liberation is not possible. Here, we should consider the eight types of rules based on Anvaya and Vyatireka. Anvaya and Vyatireka are described as follows: the presence of which makes an action possible is called Anvaya, and the absence of which makes an action impossible is called Vyatireka. For example, the liberation (Moksha) action is possible only when the cause of liberation, which is the state of certainty and conduct (Nischya Vyavahar), is present. This is called Anvaya in the form of a rule. And when this cause of liberation is absent, the action of liberation does not occur. This is called Vyatireka in the form of a prohibition. This is further strengthened by the example that smoke, etc., can only occur when there is fire, etc., as the cause. When fire, etc., are absent, smoke, etc., will not occur. Because fire, etc., are the cause of smoke, etc., there is a rule between action and cause. This is the meaning. || 106 ||
The right faith, knowledge, and conduct (Samyagdarshan, Samyagjnana, Samyacharita) should be explained. The understanding of these (Bhavas) is called knowledge (Jnana). The right conduct (Charitra) is the state of equanimity (Samabhava) towards all objects (Vishaya) and the avoidance of wrong paths (Virudha-Margas). || 107 ||
Right faith (Samyaktva) is the understanding of these (Bhavas) as faith (Shraddha). || 107 ||
Right conduct (Charitra) is the state of equanimity (Samabhava) towards all objects (Vishaya) and the avoidance of wrong paths (Virudha-Margas). || 107 ||
The nine substances (Bhavas) are the forms of the five great vows (Panchaastikaya) that have been refined by time (Kalakalit). The absence of faith (Ashraddha) due to the rise of wrong faith (Mithyadarshan) is one substance. The other substance is faith (Shraddha), which is the right faith (Samyagdarshan), the seed of the certainty of the true nature of the soul (Atmatattva) as pure consciousness (Shuddhachaitanya). The removal of these (Bhavas) that are wrongly perceived due to the rise of wrong faith (Mithyadarshan) and the influence of past karmas (Naubhyana-Samskara), etc., is the right knowledge (Samyagjnana), the seed of the realization of the true nature of the soul (Atmatattva) as the mind, knowledge, and consciousness (Manamjnana-Chetana). The right conduct (Samyacharita) is the state of equanimity (Samabhava) towards all objects (Vishaya) and the avoidance of wrong paths (Virudha-Margas) due to the presence of right faith (Samyagdarshan) and right knowledge (Samyagjnana). It is the seed of the happiness of liberation (Aponarbhava-Soukhya) that is not subject to change (Atyarmanee), not subject to desire (Ananee), and not subject to rebirth (Aponarbhava). This is the three-fold path to liberation (Moksha) which will be explained further by the state of certainty and conduct (Nischya Vyavahar). Here, the nine substances (Navapadarthas) are mentioned as the reason for introducing them as the subject of right faith (Samyagdarshan) and right knowledge (Samyagjnana). || 107 ||
Meaning of Anvaya: (Bhavanaam) of the substances (Navapadarthoka) (Shraddhanam) faith (Samyaktva) is the right faith, [Teshaam Adhigamo] their understanding (Jnana) is knowledge, (Virudha-Marganaam) on the wrong paths (Vishayeshu) towards the objects (Samabhava) equanimity (Charitram) is right conduct.
