**Six-Part-Scripture** (Chhakkanḍāgame) **Living Beings**
[1, 1, 126]
Now, to describe the **Guṇasthānas** (stages of spiritual development) of **Parihāra-Śuddhi-Samyama** (conduct-purification-self-control), the Uttar-Sūtra says:
**Parihāra-Śuddhi-Samyata** (conduct-purification-self-control) are in two **Guṇasthānas**: **Pramatta-Samyata-Guṇasthāna** (distracted self-control) and **Apramatta-Samyata-Guṇasthāna** (undivided self-control). || 126 ||
Now, to describe the **Guṇasthāna** of **Sūkṣma-Sāmprāyika-Samyata** (subtle-worldly-self-control), the Uttar-Sūtra says:
**Sūkṣma-Sāmprāyika-Śuddhi-Samyata** (subtle-worldly-purification-self-control) are in only one **Guṇasthāna**: **Sūkṣma-Sāmprāyika-Śuddhi-Samyata-Guṇasthāna** (subtle-worldly-purification-self-control). || 127 ||
Now, to describe the **Guṇasthānas** of the fourth **Samyama** (self-control), the Uttar-Sūtra says:
**Yathākhyāta-vihāra-Śuddhi-Samyata** (as-declared-conduct-purification-self-control) are in four **Guṇasthānas**: **Upasāntakaṣāya-Vītarāga-Chhadmastha** (calm-passion-freed-hidden), **Kṣīṇakaṣāya-Vītarāga-Chhadmastha** (diminished-passion-freed-hidden), **Sayogika-Kevali** (joined-liberated), and **Ayogika-Kevali** (unjoined-liberated). || 128 ||
To describe the **Guṇasthāna** of **Samyata-Samyata** (self-controlled-self-control), the Uttar-Sūtra says:
**Samyata-Samyata** (self-controlled-self-control) are in only one **Guṇasthāna**: **Samyata-Samyata-Guṇasthāna** (self-controlled-self-control). || 129 ||
Now, to describe the **Guṇasthānas** of **Asamyata** (uncontrolled), the Uttar-Sūtra says:
**Asamyata** (uncontrolled) are from **Ekaindriya** (one-sense) to **Asamyata-Samyagdṛṣṭi** (uncontrolled-right-vision). || 130 ||
Although some **Mithyādṛṣṭi** (false-vision) beings are seen practicing **Vrata** (vows), they are not truly **Samyata** (self-controlled); because, without **Samyagdṛṣṭi** (right-vision), **Samyama** (self-control) is not possible.
Now, to describe the existence of beings through **Darśana-Mārgaṇā** (path of vision), the Uttar-Sūtra says:
Through **Darśana-Mārgaṇā** (path of vision), there are **Cakṣu-Darśanī** (eye-vision), **Acaksu-Darśanī** (non-eye-vision), **Avidhi-Darśanī** (clairvoyance), and **Kevala-Darśanī** (omniscience). || 131 ||
**Darśana** (vision) is that by which one sees. Or, **Darśana** (vision) is the self-related use connected with the effort that is the cause of the arising of knowledge. It is of four types: **Cakṣu-Darśana** (eye-vision), **Acaksu-Darśana** (non-eye-vision), **Avidhi-Darśana** (clairvoyance), and **Kevala-Darśana** (omniscience). The effort connected with the production of visual knowledge...
