The meaning is that the soul, due to the cause of the destruction of the existing and the creation of the non-existent *paryaya*, should continuously and with utmost earnestness have right faith, knowledge, and conduct in the pure soul substance. ||21||
Thus, in the fourth place, the *gatha* has been included, mainly for the purpose of explaining the creation and destruction of the soul in the form of a god or human being, even though it is eternal according to the *dravya* theory, but according to the *paryaya* theory. This completes the second *saptaka* with these four places.
Thus, the second *antaradhikari* called *dravya-pithika* in the *mahaadhikari* of *jayabhitta* ends with the five places mentioned in the first *gatha-spataka*, excluding the *jayabhitta* and *aneshalatha*.
**Hindi Meaning:**
The *gatha* 21 further clarifies that the soul is the creator of the destruction of the existing *paryaya* and the creation of the non-existent *paryaya* within itself, and also explains this concept.
**General Meaning with Anvaya:**
In this way, the soul, along with its qualities and *paryayas*, wanders in the world, creating and destroying, initiating the absence of the existing *paryaya* and the presence of the non-existent *paryaya*.
**Specific Meaning:**
As we have already said, the soul is eternal according to the *dravya* theory, but according to the *paryaya* theory, it destroys the existing human *paryaya* and then creates the god *paryaya* at the time of birth in the heavenly realm. Even then, at the time of the end of the god *paryaya*, it initiates the destruction of the existing god *paryaya* and the creation of the non-existent human *paryaya* at the time of birth in the human realm. The soul that does this is accompanied by qualities like wrong knowledge, etc., and *paryayas* like human, hellish, etc. The soul that is accompanied by natural qualities like perfect knowledge, etc., and the pure *paryaya* of the liberated soul, does not wander in this way, because the creation of human, hellish, etc., *paryayas* is impossible when the light of perfect knowledge, etc., is present. However, even in the pure liberated soul *paryaya*, the soul continues to create and destroy, etc., due to the qualities of heavy and light, in relation to the six-fold *paryaya* of the nature of gain and loss. There is no contradiction in this. When the soul is impure, it wanders in the world in the form of five types: substance, field, time, existence, and state. This *sutra* shows that when the soul attains the pure soul substance in the form of pure knowledge, vision, and nature, it should have right faith, knowledge, and conduct in the form of the three jewels of certainty, which is the supreme *samayik*.
