________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha and undermining activities - the six essential-duties (avasyaka), including equanimity'samayika', of the ascetic (sramana), and givingof-gift (dana) and adoration (puja) of the supreme-beings, of the householder (sravaka). Being off-track from both the paths - real (niscaya) and empirical (uyavahara)- they get themselves bound with karmas. However, those who understand the real (niscaya) as well as the empirical (vyavahara) path to liberation but are not able to follow the pure conduct as stipulated, engage themselves in auspicious activities like giving-of-gift (dana) and adoration (puja) of the supreme-beings. They attain liberation conventionally. The two points-of-view, the real (niscaya) and the empirical (uyavahara), are the objective (sadhya) and the achiever (sadhaka) in relation to each other. Relying on both points-of-view, the supremeascetic (yogi) reaches the stage of supreme-meditation (paramasamadhi) that is free from all attachment (raga) and inquisitiveness (vikalpa). Such supreme-meditation (parama-samadhi) leads to liberation (moksa). Acarya Amotacandra's Purusarthasiddhyupaya: व्यवहारनिश्चयो यः प्रबुध्य तत्त्वेन भवति मध्यस्थः / प्राप्नोति देशनायाः स एव फलमविकलं शिष्यः // 8 // जो वास्तविक रूप से व्यवहार नय और निश्चय नय दोनों नयों को जान कर मध्यस्थ हो जाता है अर्थात् किसी एक नय का सर्वथा एकान्ती न बन कर अपेक्षादृष्टि से दोनों नयों को स्वीकार करता है, वह ही शिष्य उपदेश के सम्पूर्ण फल को प्राप्त करता है। Only the disciple who, after understanding the true nature of substances from both the transcendental as well as the empirical points-of-view and becomes unbiased towards any of these, gets the full benefit of the teachings. 328
