Salvation
all vexations and abounds in endless felicity, infinite knowledge sublime vision and boundless energy. They become permanent. In the same manner, on account of the destruction of 8 Karmas the 8 virtues of the soul emerge. On account of this, that soul will never again enter samsar. It is completely free from such vexations as wandering through samsar, possessing a body and the senses, experiencing, pleasure and displeasure; joy and sorrow; grace and disgrace etc.
THE EXPOSITION OF SATPAD ETC. IN THE 62 MARGANAS (WAY OF THINKING ABOUT 9 SATPADS)
If we have to discuss the Mokshatatva and the other tatvas in detail, we will have to describe the 9 Satpads and their 62 Marganas (ways).
Satpad etc. means what? What substance is sat (real) ? What is the quantity of dravya in an object? What is the place occupied by an object? etc. Margana means the points relating to an object to be discussed. Before that discussion, we have to consider the Satpads: (1) Satpadpraroopara means explaining an object, its power, and the passages like the senses.
Praroopana means a statement or an exposition. For example; thinking thus, "Is Samyagdarshan in the state of hell? Is it in Prithvikay or is it in Kayayoga?
What is the dimension of this sub
(2) Dravyapraman:
stance ?
206
(3) occupy?
Kshetra: What extent of place does the object
(4) Sparshana: How many units of space are in contact with the object? For example the Paramanu has one unit of space, touching it. 7 units of space touch the Paramanu on all the sides. 4 Pradeshas on four sides, above and below two + 1 Pradesha covering the Paramanu; total 7 Pradeshas (units). (5) Kala: What is the extent of its condition? How long does it stay?
What interval of time is necessary
(6) Antar (distance) to make the substance again?
