One should know the characteristics of sankalpa-vikalpaka, which are like the five astikayas. Here, if someone says that the epithet "vitraga" is meaningless in "vitraga nirvikalpa samadhi," then we provide the following solution: the epithet "vitraga" is not meaningless for the following reasons. Firstly, it indicates that the subject matter of the "art" or "raudradhyana" type, which are inauspicious meditations due to the kshayas, is prohibited here. Secondly, it states the cause and the effect of the cause. Thirdly, it is a karmadharaya compound. Fourthly, it does not count as a repetition fault in the "bhavana" text. Fifthly, it is an epithet of the form. Sixthly, it is intended to strengthen. Wherever there is an explanation of "vitraga nirvikalpa samadhi," one should know this meaning in all places. If words like "vitraga sarvajña nirdosha paramatma" are used in the same way, and someone raises a similar objection, then it is appropriate to resolve it in the same way. The meaning of "hetuhetumad bhaava" is that the same reason that makes one "vitraga" is also the reason for "nirvikalpa samadhi."
In this way, the "sankara vyatikar" fault is removed, and the gatha is complete. In this way, the third sthala is complete with two independent gathas. In this way, the first mahaadhikār is complete with seven gathas and three sthalas, which constitute the preface to the meaning of the word "samaya."
Further, starting with the gatha "satta savvapyattha," and continuing up to fourteen gathas, a preface to the general dravya is given, without discussing the specific dravyas like jiva, pudgala, etc. In these fourteen gathas, the characteristics of general and specific sattva are explained. The gatha sutra in the first sthala is "satta savyapyatha," etc. Then, the non-duality of sattva and dravya, and the importance of the word "dravya" are explained in the second sthala with the sutra "daviyadi," etc. Then, the three characteristics of dravya are explained in the third sthala with the sutra "davvam sallakhaniyam," etc. Then, two characteristics are explained with the sutra "uppattiya vinaso," etc. Then, the third characteristic is explained with the gathas "pajjaya rahiya," etc. In this way, the fourth sthala is constituted by three gathas, which are a collection of dravya-arthic, paryayarthic, and mutually dependent, and which support both nayas. In the fifth sthala, the sutra "siya atthi," etc. is used to explain the seven-fold negation, which is the main proof for refuting all one-sided views. In this way, the first seven gathas are constituted by five sthalas in fourteen gathas. Then, in the second set of seven gathas, the first sthala is constituted by the gatha sutra "bhavasa natthi naso," etc., which is used to refute the one-sided view of Buddhism and establish the dravya. Then, there are four gathas to elaborate on this. In these four gathas, the gatha sutra of the same adhikār is used to explain the dravya-guna-paryaya, with the sutra "bhaava jivaadiya," etc.
