There are five verses following this, which explain the subtle time (sookshma parsamaya). Among them, one verse is the essence of the topic, three verses elaborate on it, and one verse summarizes it. Thus, there are nine verses in total, which are a collection of verses on the topic.
Now, the nature of subtle time is explained: If a knower (gnani) believes that liberation from suffering (dukkha mokkha) is achieved through ignorance (agnaana) rather than through devotion to the pure soul (shuddha atma), then that being (jiva) is attached to the subtle time (parasamaya). Why is this so? Because devotion (bhakti) is the association (samprayoga) with the pure (shuddha) - those who are pure in their nature (shuddha buddhak swabhaava), those who are the embodiment of pure consciousness (shuddha buddheka swabhaavaaraadhake), like the great ones (vaarhadaadi). This association (samprayoga) is pure association (shuddha samprayoga). Then, what is the state of such a being? They are attached to the subtle time (parasamaya rato). This is the knower (gnani) as described earlier.
For example, if a person desires to remain in the state of perfect equanimity (parama upeksha samyama) characterized by the contemplation of the pure soul (nirvikaar shuddhaatma bhaavana), but is unable to do so, and instead engages in devotion (bhakti) to the five great ones (pancha parameshthi) in the form of praising their qualities (gunastavanaadi), then they become attached to the subtle time (sookshma parsamaya parinata) and develop a passionate right view (saraga samyagdrishti). However, if someone, even though capable of contemplating the pure soul (shuddhaatma bhaavana), abandons it and believes that liberation (moksha) is achieved solely through good deeds (shubhopayoga), then they become attached to the gross time (sthoola parsamaya parinaama) and become an ignorant (agnaani) false believer (mithyaavrishti). Consequently, due to this ignorance (agnaana), the being (jiva) perishes.
As it is said: "Some are lost due to ignorance (agnaana), some due to carelessness (pramada), some due to the taint of knowledge (gnaanaalepa), and some are destroyed by their own actions (naashita)." || 165 ||
