________________ Verse 19-20 The attributes of existence and non-existence in an object are valid from particular standpoints; the validity of the statement is contingent on the speaker's choice, at that particular moment, of the attribute that he wishes to bring to the fore as the other attribute is relegated to the background. O Lord Sumatinatha, you had thus explained the reality of substances; may your adoration augment my intellect! पूर्व का अशुद्ध जीव ही सिद्ध अवस्था को प्राप्त होता है - Only the previously impure soul (jiva) becomes liberated (Siddha) - णाणावरणादीया भावा जीवेण सुट्ठ अणुबद्धा / तेसिमभावं किच्चा अभूदपुव्वो हवदि सिद्धो // 20 // ज्ञानावरणाद्याः भावाः जीवेन सुष्ठ अनुबद्धाः / तेषां अभावं कृत्वा अभूतपूर्वः भवति सिद्धः // 20 // अन्वयार्थ - [ज्ञानावरणाद्याः भावाः] ज्ञानावरणादि भाव [ जीवेन ] जीव के साथ [ सुष्ठु] भली-भांति [ अनुबद्धाः] अनुबद्ध हैं, [ तेषाम् अभावं कृत्वा ] उनका अभाव करके वह [अभूतपूर्वः सिद्धः] अभूतपूर्व सिद्ध [भवति] होता है। The worldly soul (jiva) is intricately bound with karmas, like the knowledge-obscuring (jnanavaraniya), and it attains, as never before, the state of liberation (Siddha) by destroying all those karmas. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45
