**Panchaastikaya Prabhrit**
73
**Knowing the impurity due to the variegated nature of the body, one considers the upper half of the body to be impure as well. Similarly, this soul, in the state of samsara, remains impure due to the influence of false beliefs, attachment, etc., and their resultant transformations. However, internally, it remains pure in its true nature of omniscience, etc., according to the principle of pure substance. When, being possessed by attachment, etc., it contemplates with the sensory knowledge of the form of discrimination, then just as it sees the external part of itself as impure due to the influence of attachment, etc., it also considers its internal nature of omniscience, etc., to be impure due to false knowledge. Just as the variegated nature of the bamboo stick is the cause of false knowledge, similarly, false beliefs, attachment, etc., are the cause of false knowledge in the soul. Just as the bamboo stick becomes pure when cleansed of the variegated nature, similarly, this soul, when it knows the supreme scripture that reveals the true nature of the pure self in the presence of the gurus, becomes pure. What kind of scripture? "I am one, without ego, pure, knowing, the object of the yogi-indras. All external things, born of association, are always different from me." And so on. Similarly, it knows the inferential knowledge that the body and the soul are completely different, as they are marked by different characteristics, like water and fire. Similarly, it knows the knowledge of self-awareness, free from attachment and discrimination. Thus, from the knowledge of scripture, inference, self-awareness, and perception, it becomes pure. Here, the term "Shuddha Jeevaastikaya" refers to the state of being pure, which is unprecedented and established, and the pure soul substance is the object of consideration.**
**This is the meaning of the 20th verse.**
**Hindi Meaning of the Verse:**
**Verse 20**
**Uththānikā:** Further, it is shown that although this soul always remains pure according to the principle of pure substance, yet the unprecedented production of the category, which is established according to the principle of category, takes place. In other words, the state of being established, which was never manifested before, is now revealed. Or, it is explained that just as the same soul remains when the human category is destroyed and the divine category is born, similarly, the same soul remains when the category of samsara is destroyed and the category of liberation is born, due to the disappearance of false beliefs and the transformations of attachment, aversion, etc. In other words, the soul is the same in both the state of samsara and the state of liberation. Or, it is said that by understanding the truth through both the aforementioned principles of pure substance and category, which are interdependent, one abandons the false beliefs and the transformations of attachment, etc., which were caused by the bondage of karma, such as knowledge-obscuring karma, etc., and transforms into pure states. This is how one attains liberation. Keeping these three points in mind, the next sutra is explained.
**General Meaning with Anvaya:**
**(Jīveṇa) By this worldly soul, (ṇāṇāvaraṇādīyā) the eight types of karma, such as knowledge-obscuring karma, (bhāṣā) are bound (suṭhu) firmly (aṇubaddhā). By destroying (tesiṁ) all of them (abhāvam kicchā), (abhūdapuavo) unprecedented, i.e., what never happened before, (siddho) becomes established (havadi).
