According to the Samittaanugama, the knowledge path (Naanammaggana), the life path (Jeev Charitra), and the obscuring path (Mohaniya) are all categorized under the Nokshaya path. Within this, there are three types of Vedis: Strivedi (female), Purushavedi (male), and Napumsakavedi (neuter). These are determined by the type of Vedika that arises. This is the meaning of the sutra.
How does a being become Apangatavedi? || 38 || Through the attainment of the Upshamik and Kshayik paths. || 39 ||
When a being, having ascended the Upsham श्रेणी (Shreni) with the arising of the desired Vedika, has its obscuring path (Mohaniya) removed, the remaining Pudgalaskandha of the desired Vedika, devoid of any arising, is called Upsham. The attainment of this state leads to the Apangatavedi state for the being. Similarly, when a being, having ascended the Kshapak श्रेणी (Shreni) with the arising of the desired Vedika, has its obscuring path (Mohaniya) removed, the Pudgalaskandha of the desired Vedika, along with its state and division, completely separates from the being's regions. This is called Kshaya. The attainment of this state, resulting from the self-transformation, leads to the Apangatavedi state for the being.
According to the Kasayaanuvaad, how does a being become Krodhakashayi, Maanakashayi, Mayakashayi, and Lobhakashayi? || 40 || Through the arising of the Charitramohaniya karma. || 41 ||
The meaning is that a being becomes Krodhakashayi due to the arising of Krodhakashaya, Maanakashayi due to the arising of Maanakashaya, Mayakashayi due to the arising of Mayakashaya, and Lobhakashayi due to the arising of Lobhakashaya.
How does a being become Akashayi? || 42 || Through the attainment of the Upshamik and Kshayik paths. || 43 ||
According to the Naanammaggana, how does a being become Matyagnani, Shrutagnani, Vibhangagnani, Abhinibodhikagnani, Shrutagnani, Avadhignani, and Manaparyayagnani? || 44 ||
Through the attainment of the Kshayopahsamik path. || 45 ||
The meaning is that the attainment of the Kshayopahsamik path occurs due to the arising of the enemies of the being's own coverings (Matyagnanavaranaadi), and this leads to the being becoming Matyagnani, etc.
