Kundakundacārya has discussed 12 Anupreksas under 12 subject matters in this gāthā:
Adduva masaranameya Ttamanna samsara loyamasucittam |
Asava samvara nijjara Dhammam bhohi cha chintejjo ||
They are: Adhruva, Asharn, Ekatva, Anyatva, Samsara, loka, Ashucitva, Asrava, Samvara, Dharma, and Bodhi(durlabānuprekṣe) Their meaning can be explained in this way: power (Adhikār), status (antastu) beauty (rūpa) youthfulness (yavvana) etc are not permanent: they are temporary like rainbow. This fact will be stressed strongly by anityanuprekșe. What has been attained, by an individual is due to his punya viśēșa. Nothing comes to his risk when he becomes helpless except his Atma who is omnipotent. This fact will be confirmed by Asaravanānuprēkse. Samsāra is the unification of Dravya, Kșētra, Kāla, and Bhava. Because of this, birth, death, oldage and disease, fear, jeeva will involve in paribhramaņa. The jīva which travels in caturgati will yield to makartraya, swārthate (selfishness), arisadvarga (affection to love) and passions of indriyās. The samsārāņuprēkṣe will enlight on this. Asravas are the prime reasons for the sufferings of jīva. Mithyatva (delusion), avirati (vowless), kasāya (passion and activities of mind are responsible for āśravabandha āśravānuprēkşe will explain, how to escape from āśrava bandhas one's body is full of all that is impure, rotten and stinking. Therefore, one should detach from body affection and should attach to the one's own Ātma. This will be indicated by aśucitvānuprēkṣe. Most importantly jīva has and anyatvānuprēkse. Ekatvānuprēkṣe is the symbol of being treated one, as all alone always; while being born and while leaving this world. This universal truth will be emphasized by Ekatvānuprēkṣe. If the jīva is aware of the separation of body and soul, then it will turn towards religion. It is the real desire of anyatvānuprēkṣe.
