## Introduction

Gati - Āgati (Ninth Chūlikā)
Thus, in the first section called Jīvasthāna, the origin of the nine Chūlikās should be known in the manner described above.

From the above mentioned Trivechana, the reader will arrive at two conclusions - first, that the scope of the Dvādaśāṅga Śruta is vast. And second, that the Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama, being derived from the Dvādaśāṅga Śruta, has a direct connection with the words of Bhagavān Mahāvīra. From this, the importance of the present treatise is self-evident.
## Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama - Introduction
It is clear from the above discussion that the present treatise does not originate from a single Anuyōgadvāra; but from different Anuyōgadvāras and their sub-sections within the twenty-four Anuyōgadvāras, starting from Mahākarmaprākṛti, different parts of the Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama have originated. Therefore, it is called Khaṇḍa-Āgama. And since this Āgama has six sections, it is known as Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama. Its six sections are as follows: 1. Jīvasthāna, 2. Khuddābandha (Kṣudrabandha), 3. Bandhasvāmitvavičaya, 4. Vedanā, 5. Vargaṇā and Mahābandha.
## Jīvasthāna
This section, taking refuge in Guṇasthāna and Mārgāṇasthāna, describes the various states of the Jīva through the eight Anuyōgadvāras of Sat, Saṅkhyā, Kṣetra, Sparśana, Kāla, Antara, Bhāva and Alp bahutva, and through the nine Chūlikās of Prākṛtisamutkīrtanā, Sthānasamutkīrtanā, Three Mahādanḍaka, Jaghanyasthiti, Utkrṣṭasthiti, Samyaktvōtpatti and Gatiāgati.
## Rāga, Dveṣa and Mithyātvabhāva
Rāga, Dveṣa and Mithyātvabhāva are called Moha. The fluctuation of the Ātma-pradeśas through the means of Mana, Vachana and Kāya is called Yoga. Due to these Moha and Yoga, the stages of gradual development of the Ātma-guṇas, Darsana, Jñāna and Chāritrarūpa, are called Guṇasthāna. There are fourteen Guṇasthāna: 1. Mithyātv, 2. Sāsādana, 3. Miśra, 4. Avirātasamyagdṛṣṭi, 5. Deśasaṃyata, 6. Pramattasaṃyata, 7. Apramattasaṃyata, 8. Apūrvakaraṇasaṃyata, 9. Anivṛttikaraṇasaṃyata, 10. Sūkṣmasaṃpārāyasaṃyata, 11. Upśāntamoha Chhadmastha, 12. Kṣīṇamoha Chhadmastha, 13. Sayogikevalī and 14. Ayogikevalī.
## Mithyātvaguṇasthāna
Although the nature of the Jīva is Samyagdarsana, Jñāna, Chāritrarūpa, or in other words, Sat Chit Ānandarūpa, yet this Ātma, due to the Mohakarma,
