## The Fivefold Body and the Six Stages of Time

**The Fivefold Body (Panchaastikaya) and the Six Stages of Time (Shatkala) are not applicable to the 413 (referring to a specific text or section).**

**The meaning here is:** "From the beginning, the middle, and the end, the knowledge, the conduct, and the fivefold body, the beginning, the middle, and the end, the restraint, the yoga," and so on.

**Where the explanation is in accordance with the three jewels of non-duality (Abhedaratnatraya) as explained in the essence of the scriptures (Agamasara), that is called Adhyatma Shastra (spiritual science).** The six stages of time are explained briefly in relation to this.

**Where the three jewels of non-duality, the nature of the six substances (Shatdravya), right faith (Samyak Shraddha), and the different types of vows (Navrata) are explained, that is called Agama Shastra (scriptural science).** This is the external means of achieving the internal practice of the three jewels of non-duality. The six stages of time are also explained briefly in relation to this.

**Specifically, the detailed explanation of both should be understood from other texts according to the order explained by the previous teachers.**

**This is the summary of the commentary (Tatparyavritti) by Acharya Jayasena.**

**First, the first major section (Mahaadhikari) is called "Panchaastikaya Shatdravya Praatipadaka" (Explaining the Fivefold Body and the Six Substances), which consists of 111 verses and eight sub-sections (Antaradhikari).**

**Then, the second major section is called "Navapadarth Praatipadaka" (Explaining the Nine Categories of Objects), which consists of 50 verses and ten sub-sections.**

**Then, the third major section is called "Aashthala Ikshiswaroop Mokshamarg Praatipadaka" (Explaining the Eight Stages, the Nature of the Seer, and the Path to Liberation), which consists of 20 verses.**

**Thus, the Fivefold Body (Panchaastikaya) is completed with a total of 181 verses in three major sections.**

**This commentary (Tatparyavritti) on the Fivefold Body (Panchaastikaya) is completed on the 1st day of the bright fortnight of Ashwin, Vikram Samvat 1369 (corresponding to October 13, 1412 CE).**

**Now, the commentator says that this summary of the Fivefold Body (Panchaastikaya) is explained for the benefit of the interested student (Ruchidhari Shishya).**

**At the time of receiving education, one is called a student (Shishya).** Therefore, to explain the characteristics of a student, the different stages of initiation or education of those who worship the Supreme Soul (Paramatma) are explained.

**There are six stages of time (Shatkala):**

1. **Deekshakal (Initiation Stage):** When a near-liberated soul (Bhavyajiva) who has attained the three jewels of certainty (Nishchay) and conduct (Vyavahar) approaches the Acharya (teacher) and renounces external and internal possessions to receive Jain initiation, this is the initiation stage.

2. **Shikshakala (Education Stage):** After initiation, when one receives education in the scriptures (Adhyatma Shastra) to gain deeper knowledge of the three jewels of certainty and conduct, as well as the nature of the Supreme Soul (Paramatma), this is the education stage.

3. **Ganpooshanakala (Nourishing the Group Stage):** After education, when one remains steadfast in the path of liberation (Mokshamarg) and nourishes the near-liberated souls (Bhavyaprana) who are seeking the path of liberation by teaching them the truth of the Supreme Soul (Paramatma), this is the nourishing the group stage.

4. **Atmasanskarkala (Self-Refinement Stage):** After nourishing the group, when one renounces their group (Gan) or community (Sangha) and refines their own nature (Atmaswabhav) by dwelling in their true nature, this is the self-refinement stage.
