Sumayasāra
Chapter - 9 dispositions as its own, i.e., disowns all psychological distortions, (and enjoys its own pure attributes), is not only free from the guilt of a crime but is also free from the bondage of knowledge-obscuring and other species of karma. The purpose of discussion in these verses together with the illustration from real life, is to emphasize the power and efficacy of Self-meditation which was explained in the annotations of the preceding verses. The self has been successful in becoming guiltless and fearless by eradicating all attraction for anything that is non-self and concentration upon the formless (arūpi) attributes of the transcendental self which leads to the realization of the intermediate stage-the interior self (unturātmā). In the succeeding verses, the author identifies the final stage of selfmeditation with self-adoration and also elaborates upon the term guilt (aparādha) Clarification of some Technical Terms used in the Scriptures
संसद्धिराधसिद्धं साधिदमाराधिदं च एयहूँ।
अवगदराधो जो खलु चेदा सो होदि अवराधो॥१७॥ samsaddhirädhusiddham sādhidamārādhidam ca eyathain. avagudarūdho jo khalu cedū so hodi avarādho..17
जो पुण णिरावराधो चेदा णिस्संकिदो दु सो होदि।
आराहणाइ णिच्चं वट्टदि अहमिदि वियाणंतो॥१८॥ jo puna ņirāvarādho cedā ņissumkido du so hodi.
ārāhaņāi niccam vattadi ahumidi viyūnamto..18
(Samsiddhi-rādha-siddham ca) [The terms] (Samsiddhi) achievement, Rādha (devotion to self), Siddha (Consummation of fulfillment), Sādhitam (attainment) and Arādhitam (adoration), (eyattham) are synonymous; (jo khalu ceyā) that soul which is indeed (avagayarādho) without adoration/devotion to Pure Self is, (without doubt). a spiritual crime/guilt.
(Puna jo cedā) And the soul (niravarādho) which is free from guilt (so du nissamkido hodi) is also free from doubt, fear and anxiety; (ahamidi viyānamto) the soul, realizing that “I am (myself the Pure self in the form of pure consciousness)” (ārāhaņāi niccam vastadi) is always occupied in the devotion to the Pure Self[i.e., it never abandons adoring itself and thus remains ever guiltless and fearless).
