## Verse 20:
**18**
**Panchaastikaya Prabhrut**
**Samaya Vyakhya Gatha-20**
Here, the production of the Siddha from utter non-existence is prohibited. The karmas like knowledge-obscuring, etc., are firmly bound to the Jiva. When these karmas cease to exist, the Siddha becomes unprecedented. ||20||
**Commentary:**
Just as in the case of a bamboo stick, where the vision, having descended to the perfectly pure upper part, after being obstructed by the variegated and diverse rays of light in the lower part, perceives the pervasiveness of the variegated and diverse rays of light everywhere, and concludes that the stick is impure everywhere; similarly, in the case of the Jiva-dravya, the intellect, having descended to the perfectly pure upper part, after being obstructed by the variegated and diverse karmas like knowledge-obscuring, etc., in the lower part, concludes that the Jiva-dravya is impure everywhere. Just as in the case of the bamboo stick, there is a connection of the variegated and diverse rays of light with the illusory knowledge of pervasiveness, so also in the case of the Jiva-dravya, there is a connection of the karmas like knowledge-obscuring, etc., with the variegated and diverse rays of light. Just as in the case of the bamboo stick, the absence of the variegated and diverse rays of light leads to the purity, so also in the case of the Jiva-dravya, the absence of the variegated and diverse karmas like knowledge-obscuring, etc., leads to the attainment of the Siddha-hood, which is defined by the knowledge beyond the senses, obtained through the right understanding of the scriptures. ||20||

_Anvayaarth (Jnanaavaranadyaah Bhaavaah)_ Knowledge-obscuring, etc., karmas (Jeevena) are firmly bound to the Jiva (Sushtu) in a good way (Anubaddhaah). (Teshaam Abaavam Krutvaa) By removing them (Abhootpurvaah Siddhah) the Siddha becomes unprecedented (Bhavati).
