KAIVALYAPAADA
Pathan:-1.Janmoushadhimanthrathapa:samaadhijaa:sidhaya:
Vyas:-Sidhi is obtained by birth.In the houses of asura,by oushadi(medicine),rasaayana
etc sidhi of physical health is obtained.By manthra sidhi likeakaasgamana,anima etc are
obtained.By thapas one gets samkalpasidhi.One can travel anywhere taking whichever
kaamaroopa .All these are obtained to human beings through Samadhi.All of them are
therefore called samadhijam.
Vachas:-In the first three paada,Samadhi,the saadhana for it,and the vibhoothi are
explained.All these are incidentally said ,just to give awareness of kaivalya which is the
cause for all these and the goal also.For the chitha which partakes kaivalya,the bliss
which is beyond all the pleasures of this and the other worlds ,is the ultimate of
prasamkhyana in the Athma.Without kaivalya ,the other three do not happen .That is why
they were said to be incidental .The first in the sidhachitha is always kaivalya.The five
sidhi ,like birth(janma),oushadi(medical knowledge),manthra(knowledge of
manthra)thapas,and Samadhi are from the past janma and its vaasana,and are called
dehantharasidhi.The manushyajathi(human race)who gets the enjoyment of
heaven,through their karma,practice these sidhi,and in such people when they take next
birth,in that devanikaaya(deva body)the matures poorvavaasana are manifested as
animaadi sidhi,at birth itself.If the manushyajaathi is born in a house doing karma
suitable to asura,the beautiful asurakanya ,give them rasaayana etc and give them
liberation from old age and grey hair(vajeekarana as part of medicine).And they learn that
sidhi.This itself is of two types.
1.Rasaayanopayoga by Mandavyamuni
2.Rasopayoga by Vindhyavaasin
(Plant products and chemicals/minerals as medicine are meant respectively).
Manthra is sabda.Manthrasidhi means the ability to travel in sky and space like the sabda
.The sidhi of thapas is the samkalpa or just by imagination attaining
everything.Whatever is desired or thought become truth and it is sathyasamkalpa.By just
one pada)word)a sathyasamkalpa can achive all the kaama (desired effects).Whatever is
heard,seen,and analysed by mind and intellect is crossed and achieved just by that single
pada by the adepts.Thus the first darsan(vision)and first sabda(sound)etc are mentioned
and the crossing beyond of all these first sound and vision ,is the sidhi of Samadhi.
Pathan:-2.Jaathyantharaparinaama:prakrityaapooraath
Vyas:-The destruction of the past changes is the cause of birth of the next changes and
thus they become the reentry into new body and organs which are apoorva(not taken
before and rare ).This anupravesha for the nature of body and snses is by their own
emotions(vikaara)being cognized and blessed(anugrahana)and
filled(aapooranam)depending upon the dharma etc.
Vachas:-Jaathyantharaparinaama or change from one jaathi to another can be observed
from oushadha etc.Its maathra(measure)is nyuna(negative)adhika(positive) and by
reduction and increase of mathra they change from divya to adivya and vice versa.the
effect has lakshana or signs .But the kaarana or cause has no such lakshana.The change
from manushyajaathi to devathirygjaathi is by the aapoorana (filling up)of prakrithy like
this.Body is the prakrithy with the five elements.Body and senses organs have asmitha in
prakrithy.The prakrithy enters each of the sense organs ,do poorana of them,and the sense
perceptions grow and make them feel that this is “mine”and this aapoorana is the
anugraha or blessing of prakrithy.Because ,the aapoorana is dependent upon dharma of
each organ.The body has states like,infancy and childhood,youth and old age.From a seed
of nyagrodha,the big tree is formed.From a single tiny seed of grass brought by wind,a
large ocean of grassland is formed.Just like this,from an apoorva one,this bright and
energyfilled thousands of universes and the gaganamandala (field of spacetime)has to be
understood.(Prodhwajjwaalaasahasrasamaalimgithagaganamandalathwam).From the
Eka,the Brahma the entire prakrithy/prapancha and from athma the body with its organs
is thus understood.
Pathan:-3.Nimithamaprayojakam prakritheenaam varanabhedhasthu
Thatha:kshethrikavath.
Vyas:-The nimitha of dharma etc are not useful to prakrithy.The cause do not function by
the effect.Then how does the prakrithy function? By the difference in
varanam(acceptance)as the kshethrikam.A kshethram is a kedaaram or a field of
grains.The nearby kshethra is another kedaara with organs of pippala (a forest of pippala
trees).One kshethra is sama(equal)and another is nimna(at low level).Next to the nimna is
the nimnanthara.Then there are kshethra with water,without water ,with less water ,one
with inferior quality(apakarsha)and another which is covered(aavarana)and like that.For
each of these kshethra or bhoomi ,there is a different dharma of its own.The form of that
kshethra will be according to its dharma.To cover this natural dharma of a kshethra and
giving it another dharma is called adharma.The dharma is the expression of the nature by
its own dharma.Thus the dharma of kshethra is due to the nature or prakrithy.Prakrithy
has its dependence on its cause.Prakrithy acts both as cause and effect.By its
swaathanthrya (free will)prakrithy has prayojana and by paarathanthrya(dependence on
other)it has no use.
For a pot,the potter,wheel,clay,water etc are useful for its origin.For kulaala ,the
willpower(ichasakthy)for creation should be there.Just by the presence of will he
becomes the pravarthaka (doer)of purushartha.All the functions are the cause of sthithi
or maintainance of the unmanifested purushaartha.That is the only logic.In a kedara
,water,seed and manure are entered one by one(anupravesa).Then several types of
seeds(mudga,wheat,paddy ,etc etc )attract water (rasa)from field by its own dharma and it
enters and forms the roots ,stem etc and enters these organs .In these functions there is no
purity,impurity and such oppositions.There is no separation into dharma and
adharma.What you sow,that is grown by prakrithy.In the function of prakrithy dharma is
not a cause ,because of this observation.This is proved by examples by Nandeeswara
etc.But,by viparyaya,(opposition)anyadharma(dharma of a separate field)is likely to be
accepted as dharma in any kshethra.(This is if the dharma of the particular field is not
known).In such cases the change from pure to impure and dharma to adharma can
happen.The example of Nahusha from deva to a serpent is example of such adharma.
Vachas:-The filling nature(aapoorakathwa0of prakrithy is said.Is it the natural nimitha of
prakrithy?If so why?In the prakrithy which is Sathi(true),even the hearing of the
dharmanimitha like aapoorana becomes nimitha .Satya is the nimitha of dharma.Not the
use of it.(A kshethra and prakrithy like a truthful woman or sathi does
dharmaswayamvara just by hearing about purusha )The swayamvarana is the dharma of
prakrithy .It is not a parathanthra to get some advantage or gain ,induced by another’s
will upon her.It is her total freedom to do swayamvara based on her dharma.It is similar
to the ichasakthi or willpower of the potter,not the dependence of the pot on several
factors.The Aiswarya which is cause for the functioning of purushaartha(for purusha /for
the 4 purushartha ) is Iswarathwa and is the nature of prakrithy.This is the pradhaana.All
the other actions are just functions to maintain(cause for its sthithi) this dharma.Once the
obstacles are removed,(apanayana) the same moment in that chitha just as if in a
kshethrika,everything (sarva)come and fill (aapoorayathi)and creates all(sarga).For
iswara ,the only function to be done is for the sake of establishing the dharma of
prakrithi,removal of obstacles by blessings.All the others are made by itself in prakrithy.
Pathan:-4.Nirmaanachithaanyasmithaamaathraath
Vyas:-Yogin makes severaleffects(karya).Theeka becomes aneka.The several and many
creative functions of the yogin who is ekamanaska is by the asmitha.That is the true
chitha.
Vachas:-By the aapoorana ,prakrithi is capable of sidhi.By the sidhi she creates several
different bodies and chitha associated with these bodies and by the chitha she thinks and
analyses about the ekathwa and anekathwa.In this way,in different bodies,in different
minds,with differences of experiences and opinions in each chitha ,discussing and
debating ,several purushanthara are spent.Then the ekachitha as a lamp is expanding its
rays of light and becoming several nirmaanakaya is dawned and by this asmithaamathra
cognizes the nature of nirmanachitha.Every living and nonliving body,every chitha is
seen as one.Just like that the chaithra ,maithra etc in the body of cosmos also is visualized
as one.The nirmaanakaaya of self is seen in everything and this ekaaabhipraaya(one
opinion)is attained with asmithaamathra.
Pathan:-5.Pravrithibhede prayojakam chithamekamanekeshaam.
Vyas:-How does several chitha function with a single opinion as one chitha? By creating
a single chitha which is useful to all chitha.By its pravrithibheda(division of labour).
Vachas:-From a single yogichitha several creations happen.But how is it possible for
several chitha to accept a single opinion and function as if a single chitha? If the opinion
happens to be useful to all ,the different chitha interested and doing different functions
understand their role and the use of it for entire community/world and thus contribute
their own functions for that cause.This is the pravrithibheda or division of labour which
is useful to entire people and hence unanimously accepted .Each organ of body has
different functions.They follow their leader the chitha.Similarly ,all the chitha follow that
chitha which is selfless and thinking and creating for the sake of entire people .They
accept the opinion of that yogichitha,unanimously ,grasping the use of it for themselves
as well as society and becomes members(amga)or organs of that nirmanachitha and does
the labour as part of a whole .Thus the division of labour and the leadership and opinion
of the yogin is accepted by all chitha alike.The leadership of external organs is in mind
and intellect.The division of labour of the organs is in the same way as division of labour
of an entire community,nation and world.

(The principle of co-operation and of the division of labour as chathurvarnya and its
acceptance are also mentioned here.The unanimous acceptance of a system is when it is
for the good of all.And the dharma of each region is best known by people of those
regions.The type of climate,soil,and the best crops grown in different seasons by natural
dharma if followed will be swadharma and it will bring prosperity by prakrithy
itself.Intriduction of different crops and changing the prakrithi by artificial means is not
useful either to prakrithi or people or to entire world.This truth is shown and the principle
of co-operatin by different people with different tendencies and use of it for maximum
benefit of community is also mentioned.)
Pathan:-6.Thathra dhyaanajamanaasayam.
Vyas:-The nirmaanachitha are of five tpes.It is the sidhi obtained by the
birth,medicines,manthra,thapas,and Samadhi.The chitha born of dhyana is anaasaya
.Aasaya means functions like raaga etc.Anaasya is that chitha where there are no
raaga,dwesha,punya or papa etc.No dualities in anaasaya.All other are karmaasaya with
dualities.
Vachas:-From the five sidhachitha and their classification chitha is analysed.Aasaya
means that which has rathi(love) in aasa (wishes or desires).Aase ratha ithi aasaya:
In it there are tendencies of karma and klesha.In anaasaya none of these exist.The
anaasaya born out of dhyaana is therefore different from any other aasaya.(Its idea and
ideology are different from that of other chitha).
Pathan:-7.Karmaasuklaakrishnam yoginasthrividhamithareshaam
Vyas:-The jaathi of karma is of four types.Sukla,Krishna,suklakrishna and
akrishnaasuklam.Krishnakarma is selfish and hurts .Suklakrishna is that of saadhya with
several saadhana and in it the groups of karmaasaya function for blessing as well as for
hurting others .Sukla is that of thapas,swadhyaaya and dhyaana.It has no wish for hurting
others and is involved with internal functions dependent on external
functions.Akrishnaasukla or asuklaakrishna is the deathbody (charamadeha)attained by
sanyasins by the destruction of their karma and klesha.In it asukla is obtained during life
itself and akrishna by anupaadana.For the other living things either of the other three is
obtained.
Vachas:-The karma of yogin is asuklaakrishna.The karma of others is of three types.
Pada means sthaana or position.Chathushpada means the four positions.Whatever
function is possible with external sadhanm or objects are karma causing hurt to
chitha(own as well as others).But in karma in vreehi(grains)etc the function of
parapeda(hurting others )is not there.One can say ,even in agriculture the killing of ants
etc happen unknowingly.And also that by destroying other grasses in the field (difference
between sthmba and paddy-grass and grain)there are some obstructions of hurting other
jeeva.By giving dakshina to Brahmins blessings also is created.
The karma like thapas,swadhyaya and dhyana can be done even by people without
sanyasa.And they are suklakarma done by all.Asuklaakrishna is for yogin who accepted
sanyasa and suklakarma for all,yogins who have not taken to sanyasa.
The karmasanyasins have sacrificed all the himsaa functions usually done for acquisition
of wealth by their mind,yet they are doing the karma as they are householders and
because of that they are called krishnakarmaasaya.When for the sake of
yogaanushtana,one dedicates all the effects of karmaasya in Iswara,their karma become
suklaasaya.Suklakarma is that function which is done just for the dedication of Iswara
and without any selfish motives.Thus the four types or jaathi of karma and their four
positions are the four varna and their functions.
Pathan:- 8.Thathasthadwipaakaanugunaanaamevaabhivyakthirvaasanaanaam.
Vyas:- For the three types of karma their vipaaka are according to their guna.According
to the karmavipaaka of each jaathi ,the equivalent vaasana or tendency are created.the
vaasana are manifested by the karmavipaaka.A karma which is daiva(divine)will not
manifest as naraka,thiryak,or manushya vaasana.By daivakarma only vaasanaas of deva
will be manifested.Similarly for each karma the respective vaasana is
manifested.According to vaasana will be the charya (actions ./behaviour)of each jaathi.
Vachas:-The gathi or movement to klesha is according to karma.By good deeds good
vaasana and behaviour is created.even the jathyaayurbhoga like naraka is depending upon
this law only.Vaasana or tendency is according to karmavipaaka.Vaasana of good deeds
due to its vipaaka gives experience of divine bhoga.By increasing the tendency of
manushyabhoga ,one cannot get the experience of divyabhogha.With that only
manushyabhogha is possible.the karma ,vaasna,and interests of a person determines
his/her jaathi and the chathushpadasthaana is given accordingly .
Pathan:-9.Jaathidesakaalavyavahithaanaamapyaanantharyasmrithi-
Samskaarayorekaroopathwaath
Vyas:-For the vipaaaka of the poison of a scorpion-bite ,its beginning of manifestation of
symptoms,its nature etc are dependent on the jaathi of the scorpion which caused the
disease,the desa or place ,the character of the poison ,the nature of person bitten and
hundreds of other different limitations .After a particular period the experience of poison
fades and disappears.But the experience of the past bite of scorpion as smrithy(memory)
exists as a refined(samskritha)vaasana(tendency) and transformed into its knowledge and
is manifested as gnaana of poisons.This gnaana is there in hundreds of jaathi,in hundreds
of desa for hundreds of kalpa .And this gnaana is by smrithy(memory)of human race
.Not a single individual.In the different experiences and the different knowledge created
from them the ekaroopathwa(single form/oneness)of the smarithisamskaara(refined
memory )of human race can be seen.It is in this smrithy that knowledge is continuous and
existent .What is the experience that alone becomes the samskaara.That is according to
the karmavaasana.Smrithi is therefore according to vaasna .This can be cognized from
samskaarasmrithy functioning through jaathi,desa and kaala .Since smrithy creates
samskaara from it,the term smrithisamskaara is used.This is due to gain of new
functioning of karmaasaya .
Vachas:-One may not remember what happened today ,by tomorrow.But those functions
done everyday will be remembered forever.The memory of a poison exists forever as a
knowledge of it,though the experience was for a limited period of time.Wherever the
person is,whatever is the time,when the need comes ,memory of that experience will
come to his aid.In this way the experience of several people and their knowledge
therefrom becomes a custom and a knowledge system and a smrithisamskaara and
gnaana.This is transferred to several generations and kept alive as memory of the
humanity.
In the case of the knowledge of visha(poison)the dawn of knowledge is the dawn of
karmaasaya.The knowledge thus manifested by itself as anjana manifests itself,faces a
new karmavipaaka and starts it.The effect of this knowledge is for future .(The medical
knowledge making a new karmaasaya and used for posterity) .
Smrithy(memory)has similarities and by this is its ekaroopatha (oneness).The experiences
may not be same.The samskaara may not be the same.But the memory of experience of
truth is same in all irrespective of regions,time or jaathi.Therefore that smrithi alone is
truth which is felt universally by everyone as truth.It cannot be artificially
manufactured.It cannot be imagined.even though experience of truth is felt lasting for a
kshana for an individual,by a temporary karma,it is as before the sthaayi(continuous and
eternal)experience of truth experienced by all human race in all places and all times.the
differenes and their basis itself is the similarity.How can one say difference or similarity
in the eternal truth which is beyond all these?
Pathan:-10.Thaasaamanaadithwam chaasisho nithyathwaath.
Vyas:-The vaasana are endless.The newborn ,even before experiencing the dharma of
death,shows fear of death ,due to the memory of sorrow and pain associated with
death.How does this happen?Because the memory of several previous death experiences
of past janmaas are remaining as vaasana .
Some people think that chitha which has contraction and expansion like pot,tower and
lamplight ,is only a parinaama (change /evolution)of body.The lack of Athman in
samsara for them ,is logical.The contraction and expansion are the functions of chitha
,not of the body.It is dependent on dharma etc.The nimitha are of two types.The external
and internal .The external are dependent on body like praise,giving alms,wishing each
other etc.The internal or Adhyaathma are sradha,etc and are dependent only on chitha.In
those who do dhyaana alone one can expect true maithry(friendship)to all creations.By
the friendship born out of dhyana,they are performing the external functions said
before.They are later on accepted as good actions.When mind is strong with gnana and
vairagya the dharma are visualized in it.The body without power of chitha is like a
dhandaka forest.For a person like Agastya ,with chithabala,any deep sea is just a drop of
water and he can dry it up by drinking.
Vachas:-The vaasana which were refined in past janmaas are later manifested.What is the
pramaana for this statement? The newborn of all living things show happiness,sorrow ,as
well as fear of death .This proves the endless and eternal nature of vaasana.It is not mere
continuity but real etrnal nature for vaasana.By natural law the blessings can thus become
eternal.The atheists(naasthika)ask “How?”.The answer is “Jaathamaathrasya
janthorithy”.The newborn who has not experienced death ,when heard about death,sits
close to mother;s body,shivers and holds tightly the chain(mangalyasoothra)of her with
symbols of chakra and other auspicious markings on it.The child has no death experience
.then how is he afraid of death?He remembers it better than us,adults .therefore his
shivering is more than us.The fear is born out of memory of sorrow and pain.In this
janma the newborn had no sorrow or pain of death.then this itself is proof of memory of
the past deaths.The memory of the newborn infant,due to the law of past lives,is the
memory of the entire jaathi(race)of human beings.This is not equivalent to the
contraction and expansion of a lotus flower .It is not dependent on any other cause by
nature.For lotus sunray is needed for expansion.Contraction is its state of return to past
avastha .Nimitha is the time of attainment of the karmavipaaka.In it the manifestation is
in opposite way.
The pot,tower etc spoken of is only to show the opposition to the process of expansion
and contraction of chitha.By seeing the effect related to desa,the pramaana for a chitha
which originated outside the body does not exist.So also for anuparinaama.The
experienced order also does not act as pramaana there.The eka anu or subtle single mind
,does not make association with the indriya of different regions.the chitha is the cause for
body and not otherwise.The parimaana of expansion and contraction is not big and small
body.By the union of seed and kshethra,the already present form within seed as
unmanifest,becoming manifested and expanded is the expansion.From it the formation of
seed is not contraction.This body which is dependent upon the blood and semen of
parents is parathanthra (not free since it is dependent )and birth is not a
swathanthrakriya(a free act ).The increase and decrease of shadow of a fixed thing also is
not expansion and contraction.In a picture it is not the chaaga,but the picture which is
dependent upon chaaga which is traveling.In this way one has to know samsaara.In the
parimaana of body ,in rebirths,when one body is rejected,and another is taken,the internal
aathivaahika body union is attained.It is this internal aathivaahika body which is traveling
from one to another .Not the physical body.Angushtamaathram purusham nischakarsha
yamo balaath(M B Vana.3.297.17)This internal existence is to be cognized logically.The
lack of it is not logical .
Chitha is vibhu.The function of expansion and contraction is that of this vibhu.The
character of swayambhoo is here said.It is not said that chitha can do journey from one
janma to another alone without any help.It is said that it through the aathivaahika body
does that function.Then is there not anavastha in it? No.Because the dehanishkarsha
happen through aathivaahika .But there is no association with it.It is a carrier ,a vehicle
only.The subtle body is during pralaya the base of chitha as the centre of the shadkousika
body.therefore chitha can travel anywhere including the satyaloka.The nishkarsha is in
the shadkousikakaaya.The law is that chitha is always internal to that.therefore it cannot
be made visible by sensory deductions.In aagama the nishkarsha is in purusha.Purusha is
neither chitha,nor sookshmasareera.(That which transmigrates is not purusha).How can
chitha get lack of function here and there?The meaning of nishkarsha is eka.In
smrithi,puraana,ithihaasa etc the life after death,the attainment of prethasareera after
death and its liberation by kriya like sapindeekarana are said.But the state of
aathivaahaka is not mentioned.The one which is having expansion all over
gaganamandala (sky/space field) is the chith with its energy .It is the function of mind
with sarvagnatha and ahankara of chethas.Functions or vrithy are dependent on
chitha.Chitha is dependent on dharma.The vrithy(vritha)which is cyclical divided the
nimitha .In the first cognition(aadigrahana)the nimitha are cognized by the senses and
riches etc.they are external.Veerya and smrithy are cognized with sradha alone.They are
internal ,and between the innermost and the external.From dharma born of gnaana and
vairagya ,even the external dharma also are created.Dharma can originate only from
gnaanaa and vairagya.If there is presence of even a seed of thamas dharma will fall.The
examples quoted are the dandka forest etc.
Pathan:-11.Hethuphalaasrayaalambanai:samgriheethathwaadeshaam abhaave
Thadabhaava:
Vyas:-The cause of dharma is sukha(happiness).by sukham,rraga and by du:kha
,dwesham.By their functions mind,word and body (deeds)undergo parispanda
(vibrations),Each follow the other.The six spokes are
dharma,adharma,raaga,dwesha,sukha and du:kha.By these six spokes the wheel of
samsaara functions.By its revolutions every kshana,and its repetitions,avidya is created
and it leads to klesha.Avidya is the nethri(eye of wheel) of all klesha and hence it is the
root of klesha.The dharma etc created from it depending upon yama etc is called the
phala or effects.It is not the firstborn or apoorva.
Mind dependent on adhikara gets the name of vaasana.In a mind without rights vaasana
will not be born and sustained without any dependence.The object facing any other
object ,manifesting its vaasana ,is the aalambana or basis of vaasana.Vaasana has to be
cognized by the hethu,phala and aasraya like this.When they are absent vaasana also are
absent.
Vachas:-What creates vaasana in chithavrithy? If chithisakthy is endless and
beginningless how can one obstruct vaasana within it? Even though annadi ,the origin
and obstruction are seen by the yogins.In its future state it does not exist.The chithisakthi
is not destroyed but it is not because of anaadi nature.Vaasana though anaadi are seen to
be obstructed.Blessings and obstruction are by dharma and adharma as nimitha.Here the
habits of alcoholism etc also can be understood.Nethri means naayika,the leading
lady.The cause for all.The avidya is the root cause and nethri.the origin and present state
is not from dharmaswaroopa but from the root avidya.To which object we face it is from
that the hethu(cause)is created.Example is association with beautiful women.In the
absence of vyaapaka,the absence of vyaapya also has to be cognized from soothra.
Pathan:-12.Atheethaanaagatham swaroopatho asthi adhwabhedaadharmaanaam.
Vyas:Tthe asath is never born.Sath is never destroyed.This is the law of dravya
.(matter).The future to come is anaagatha(not yet here).And that which is already
experienced is past(atheetha).Atheetha is manifested.Anaagatha is
unmanifested.Varthamaana is the currently functioning present.All the three are one
without difference in gnaana.The past being karma already done,and future being the
effects to come,one is the effect of the other and the cause and effect relation is seen.One
cannot control the already done acts of past and control the future situation.But one can
control the present actions and thus control the future.Nimitha are to identify and control
the present actions so that they give good results in future.Therefore nimitha and
naimithika are terms denoting special blessing to the present people for modifying
future.But they cannot create the apoorva.
Vachas:-Sampaatha,aayaatha,and nidarsna are always existent and there is no sambhava
for them just like asatha.Atheetha and anaagatha are by swaroopa the same.The sath has
no destruction.Asath has no production.By sath is the change of the different
adhwa(labour) like udaya(dawn)vyaya(loss )etc.That which is experienced and achieved
is manifested wealth.for a vyakthy(manifested person)the past vyakthy,the future
vyakthy difference does not exist in experience.In the three times the vyakthi is same
swaroopa.Asath is not vishaya of gnaana.Vignaana is revelation of subjects.since asath is
not vishaya (subject)no vignaana of it is ever possible.Vishaya is vignaana of the three
kaala.In the vignaana like “Asmad”of the yogin, it does not arise from asath,but can lead
to production of asath.Untruth is never created from truth.Sath is always existent and lead
to sath .In everything and in all times satha alone exists.the existence of dravya in all the
three kaala is proven from its presence(asthithwa)in present.That is how its ekathwa is
manifested.
Pathan:-13.The vyakthasookshmaa:gunaathmaana:
Vyas:-Adwaana (labour)is present dharma.Past dharma is manifested.future dharma is
subtle unmanifested.It has six special forms.All these are guna only.Therefore saasthra
say:-
Gunaanaam paramam roopam na drishtipatham ichathi
Yathu drishtipatham praaptham thanmaayeva suthuchakam.
Vachas:-There are different types of universes with different changes and evolutionary
dharma and such a multiverse cannot be thought of as an eka like pradhaana.Since it has
no lakshana the difference in effect should not occur.The three labours of dharma are
adwaana of the present,vyaktha of past,subtle of future .They are guna.The cause of the
change or evolution of thriguna and the multiplicity is due to aadiklesha and vaasana.The
vaayupuraana(53.120)says:Vaiswaroopyaatha pradhaanasya parinaamoyamadbhudha:”
In the manifested prithwi etc,in the eleven sense organs ,the six visesha of past ,present
and future happen according to their rights .In the eternal and noneternal form of
parapancha ,whatever we see is guna only.The evolutionary change is due to positional
change(samsthaanabheda).In shashtithanthrasaasthra we get this advice.It is not by
maaya.Everything that has destruction is thucha( lesser).If it was maaya ,the
emotions(vikaara)will change every kshana by aavirbhaava and thirobhaava.Due to the
eternal nature prakrithy is in truth not maaya but maayavidharmini(with the dharma of
maayaavi).
Pathan:-14.Parinaamaikathwaadwasthu thathwam
Vyas:-If everything is gunaathmaka,how can we say Eka:sabda,Ekam Indriya?
The guna with the habits of prakhya,kriya and sthithi in their cognitive function,the
only(eka)parinaama (change)is the indriya ,srothra.(ears).The eka vishaya as the graahya
is the sabdathanmaathra alone.For the sabda etc,which have similarity with moorthy
jaathi,the ekaparinaama is paramanu of prithwithanmaathra.In the ekaparinaama prithwi
we find cow,tree,mountains and many other froms.We find oil,heat,rights and other
generals in several forms.Gnaana is with meaning.In swapna,the directions imagined
need not be true .The vasthu is likened to swapna in the imaginary gnaana alone.The
memory of the untrue seen in swapna does not disappear.So also the objects not cognized
in sleep again appear when we get up.In the gnnananidra of Samadhi by own
maahathmya visualise and create vasthuswaroopa and negate it too.
Vachas:-The diferrence and changes are due to the thriguna.The process of evolution
,whether it is water or earth,is always the eka only.the aneka is parinaama of
eka.Cow,buffalo,elephant,man and star are only the parinaama of the one jaaaathi
lavana(salt).Vayu,oil,fire and lamp are also in this way the ekaparinaama of energy.Thus
even in the many there is oneness.For all the physical objects and elements the
thanmaathra is eka.For all the cognizing organs by the importance of sathwaguna ,and
light ,the srothra is ekabhaavana.The sabda which is physical sound being jada is its
vishaya.Sabda is sabdathanmathra .Vishaya is jadathwa.The indriya is not vishaya of
thanmathra.Thanmathra is vishaya for indriya.This is explained with ears and its
cognition of sabda.
(Grahana,gnaana ,sathwa,prakaasa vs graahyavishaya,jada ,thamas )
Vainaasika among the vignaanavaadins say:”Naasthyartho vignaanavisahachara”.Each of
the physical and elements ,consider its cause as pradhana .But they are not different from
vignana.Then how the pradhaanakalpana?Why the sense organs which do grahana and
their ahankaara vikaara imagined?Because the jada vishaya cannot reveal themselves due
to lack of selfrevelation,and they need vignaana as co-traveller to reveal them.Sahachara
means sambandha or association.The lack of it it is visahacharathwa.Without vignaan
anothing is useful ,is the meaning.Gnaana and meaning go together.The artha is jada and
depend upon vignaana for its revelation.It is this law that the vignaanavaadin are
pointing out.There is a saying that whatever is known by pain,will never be
broken.Athmagnaana is like that.The bhoothabhouthika are known by the one which is
always with it but opposite to it in dharma .By the knowing of one which is opposite
,there is vedana(pain)and that is never forgotten or lost.Artha is different from
gnaana.Therefore how can artha be revealed by gnaana?This is the question.For this the
answer was “Kalpitham”:-
Sahopalambamaniyamaadabhedo neelathadwiyo:
Bhedascha braanthivignaanairdrisyethendaavivaadwaye.
To explain the kalpitham ,the parikalpana(imagination)of gnaana was said.That is
negated.By association with the said statement about the thing to be known,and to be
listened to,the gnaana is there or not there (upasthitha,prathyupasthitha).How it is
revealed by that spandana(vibration)it becomes again and again upasthitha(present).It is
neither kalpitha(imaginery)nor prathikalpitha(opposite to the imaginery).It is the subject
of vignaana.Without own greatness(swamaahaathmya)one cannot see the nature of artha
as cause for vignaana.By own meanings,by own cognizing power one aquires gnaana and
the cognition of meaning also is in the same way .By sradha alone eka can cognize the
aneka and aneka can cognize the eka.Gnaana can reveal the the grossness of the
bhoothabhouthika.But in gnaana their grossness is not happening.The gross universes
have grossness and is separated as different places/spaces.But the eka though it expands
inall desa there is no separateness .This desa,that desa is not there in the eka.The three
lokas are one in it.Thenhow does so many different types of knowledges and opinions in
the world? Because of the gross revelations of individuals who are involved with their
own viewpoints and because of the inability of subtle visualization of truth and ,because
of not listening to what the people who have subtle gnaana,and such different view points
of partial and imperfect knowledge.The fall due to the different viewpoints need not be
taken as vikalpa.It is only the revelation of what happens with samsarga to prathibha.(The
union with vishaya and the nature of attachment to certain preformed opinions).If we
think,the gross was created after the upaaadhi(its causes)ot before them.The vikalpa and
avikalpa has grossness but they have no ability to see themselves or to become seen by
their own.Since the external things are in this way nonexistent even they exist ,and hence
are called aleeka.Aleeka is not different from vignaaana either,because it can awaken
vignaana.From the cognizability is the abheda(oneness)and this neutralizes the
bheda(opposite bhaava-separatism)due to nonexpansion or limitation.By the togetherness
sath and asath are the gross forms of vignaana.For sath,the different
causes(hethuaabhaasa)of eka and aneka as vikalpa happen naturally .By vikalpa alone
one cannot get direct perception and its greatness.That is why the saadhu asks by their
vikalpagnaanabala,which is apramaana ,the question How? To this the example of
dreams are given to show the nondependence.Thus according to one particle of
nyaaya (logic) alone all this is explained.
Pathan:-15.Vasthusamye chithabhedaathayorvibhaktha:panthaa:
Vyas:-Depending on several chitha one object can be formed and this is common
occurrence.This is not imagined or done by ekachitha.Not imagined or done by
anekachitha also.It is swaprathishta.How?By the similarity of the object and the
differences of chitha.For a chitha depending upon dharma,by the similarity of
object,gnaana of sukha happens.For the chitha which depends upon adharma,the
dukhagnaana is due to avidya.Moodagnaana is dependent upon the samyagdarsana and is
the madhyastha position.How is that known by chitha?Not by the knowledge of a
different chitha.Not by the union with another person’s chitha and its likings.Therefore
in knowledge of objects there is a method(way-panthaa) which separates the grahya(to be
known)and the grahana(the process of knowing).It is not something like a mixture of
different smells.In samkhyapaksha the gunavritha where the vasthu moves again as
thriguna,is united with the chitha dependent upon dharma.Each one is the cause of
another by being produced from pratyaya and anuroopa(similar)to each nimitha.
Vachas:-The logic for the proof of knowledge is said by the commentator.Here the logic
of “Southreem”is introduced.The knowledge of Devadatha and Vishnumithra may be
different about chaithra and maithra.In Chaithrakaarya(about chaithra)they have
eka(one) opinion .But about maithra they have different opinions.Thus in two
chitha(chithabheda) exist oneness and duality in the subject of gnaana .(Issuebased
differences of opinion and same opinion).This is a common occurrence .The differences
and agreement in knowledge is only of this type.The placement of raktha,dwishta
,vimooda and madhyastha at the same place will create oppositions between
them.Because of the chithabheda,which creates gnaanabheda,their knowledge is
following different paths according to their own swaroopabheda.Their eka (one)opinion
in eka(one )object is due to different reasons.The husband has sukhagnaana of his
wife.The other wives of the same husband is having only dukhagnaana in that wife.Even
in Chaithra,since the husband is always with her,they experience sorrow of separation
only which is moodagnaana(Vishaada is moodagnaana).All these are imaginary made by
each chitha for its own .The lakshana of a woman is something which everyone
understands easily and which makes the chitha happy.That is not the same in all
chitha.But the knowledge of blue is not like that.Whoever see that colour,the knowledge
of it is same in all the chitha.(ekagnaana).Therefore,the arthavaada introduced as how
can the cause of vignaana having differences as sukha etc can be with ekaartha(one
meaning).
The saamkhyapaksha that by a lakshanaless cause ,the occurrence of different effects is
not logical is then explained.From the eka evolved all the external objects with thriguna
and thriroopa.The most avisesha is vignaana which is dependent on dharma.The sathwa
with rajas due to dharma,gives knowledge of sukha.The sathwa without rajas as
Eka,gives gnaana dependent on vidya and it is the madhyastha knowledge.The dharma
etc in all and in everything as satha,gives the gnaana according to the measures and in the
way useful to each.
Pathan:-16.Na chaika chithathanthram vasthu thadapramaaanakam thadaa kim syaad.
Vyas:-The bhoomi(land)and riches(artha) if associated with gnaana will give enjoyment
and sukha.Therefore commonness is for everyone.How is the form of a object changing
by the past and present kshana?The ekachithathanthra(the method of ekachitha)is
obstruction(nirodha)of all objects and revealing the swaroopa of self alone as
chid(chaithanya or light energy).The knowledge of the other objects are then felt
apramaana,aswaabhaavika and are not cognized or thought about in it.In the enlightened
chitha in swaswaroopa,they do exist in one part (upasthitha) but they are considered
nonexistent(naasthi) in a nirodha state.The sradha is not in them at
all.Therefore,ekachithathanthra is not parathanthra(method of others,dependent on any
other object).It is swathanthra(own method.Free ).It is common(saadhaarana)for all
purusha(sarvapurushasaadhaarana)..The swathanthra chitha is functioning in all
.Therefore ,it is for the upabhogha (enjoyment)of the prurusha is to be assumed.
Vachas:- The land and riches if it happens to be in the possession of someone with
gnaana,will give enjoyment and sukha .Because only with gnaana the jada is
illuminated.Only if we have knowledge of how to use it ,land and riches will give the
results.Otherwise ,whatever we get,it will not give enjoyment or sukha.The objects like
land and riches,women etc are changing and deducible by series of kshana /timespace and
is sarvachitha saadhaarana(common to all chitha by experience of millennia) and they are
experimented and examined and enjoyed by the worldly people only by that gnaana
derived from experience.They increase something negative day by day by their
knowledge and increase productivity and enjoy .By doing nirodha of just a very small
part,they enjoy everything possible.This is pertaining to all riches including land and
woman.(With just one small piece of land and just by one woman ,if we know how to
enjoy it ,we can enjoy all that is possible in the world).When the chitha which is involved
with Ghata(pot)become concentrated on pata(picture)the sradha on pot is
obstructed(nirodha).In knowledge also this type of nirodha is seen in different
periods.But by being interested in picture,does not take away the knowledge of the pot.In
this way in a single chitha different types of knowledge for professional reasons,for
defending natural and other calamities and for other causes do co-exist and this is
common experience .Whenever the need comes these knowledge forms resurface from
the chitha.
The effects are due to certain laws,causes,and their similarities and differences etc.We
cannot see the effects crossing over their causes to another cause.It is like mother earth
,which following her own cause as her kakshya(the orbit)and do not pressurize and make
problems by entering other chidkakshya(orbits of celestial bodies).The laws of the cause
of the object is not the reason for the knowledge of it in human being’s chitha.It was not
the knowledge of man about the earth and its orbit ,which created earth with its orbit.The
one who desires modaka(ladu-a sweetmeet) gets it by his effort.He uses it and enjoy its
taste ,and digests it and get the nourishments and synthesise that into his own body.seeing
this,the saadhus say the reason for enjoyment of vishaya is the association with the
objects.
For everyone on the lower side of the globe(bhoogola) if we know the measurement of
it,the measurement of the other side(aparabhaagavyaapthy) also is known.In gnaana and
in the sadbhaava dependent on gnaana,due to experience,the middle ,the other etc does
not exist at all.The gnaani is not someone who knows only what is there in his region
alone.(He/she is one who with a small part of what is experienced ,experience everything
in the universe.By one paramaanu entire gross space and objects,by one kshana entire
kaala ,and entire aananda is enjoyed ) .On the same side of the gnaani,another person
living in same place ,same time need not know even a small part of earth even though he
too is upasthitha there itself.So,he/she is anupasthitha even though upasthitha with the
gnaaani in same place. They are agnaani though they live with the gnaani.
Pathan:- 17.Thaduparaagaapekshithwaachithasya vasthugnaathaagnaatham.
18.Sadaa gnaathaasrithavrithayasthath prabho: purushasyaaparinaamithwaath.
Vyas:-The vishaya is like iron(ayam)and the chitha is like ayaskaantha and therefore,the
vishaya attracted to chitha and makes it enjoy (uparanjana) by its association.The chitha
which love a vishaya knows it( gnaatha).And does not know other vishsya (agnaatha).
Because of this known and unknown nature,the chitha is parinaami.The prabhu of chitha
is purusha.Purusha is not parinaami with chithavrithy.In purusha ,as in vishsya like
sabda,there is no difference of known and unknown.The unknown nature of the chitha is
about its own vibhu ,the purusha.By deduction the chitha is able to visualize the
aparinaami nature of purusha .
Vachas:- Chethana is free and achethana (jada)is not free.One is enlightened ,and the
other is not.Only with light of chethana the achethana can cognize its true nature .Bhaava
cannot exist if the swabhaava is lost.In the knowledge of sense organs ,the dharma of the
meaning of the jadaswabhava is felt as light.In arthadharma,the blueness etc which is
known by all as eka is said before.But the knowledge of the past and the future is not a
dharma like blueness which is cognizable by all alike.It is not sarvasaadhaarana.It is a
swathanthra subject to be cognized by the vehicle of internal perception alone.By the
sensory pranaalika(channels)one know the meaning of the gross jada universe.Through
them (sensory channels)chitha is attracted (uparanjana).The bhootha(elements)come near
the mirror of chitha and reflects in it and makes it coloured .Chitha is chithisakthy.It is
coloured by the samkraanthi of the vishaya near it.But vishaya has no real association
with chitha.They are just reflections of things in the chithisakthi.the chitha through
indriya and ahamkaara reach everywhere(sarvagatha)and make association with every
thing and every vishaya.This is for enlightening the vishaya as an ayaskanthamani(the
magnet).Actually it is attracting the vishaya as iron and not otherway.Iron is getting
attracted ,not the magnet.The chitha is imagined as parinaami when it is sadharmiki with
the iron of vishaya but it is not really having any union with vishsya. (This knowledge is
not very common for all.)
It is in the functions which are dependent on the knower ,the aparinamithwa of purusha
,the knower of all,is seen.Chitha can be kshiptha,mooda,vikshiptha and ekaagra.In such a
chitha always the vrithy is known by the purusha.What is the cause for this? The cause is
the changeless(aparinaamathwa)nature of purusha.The chitha has parinaamithwa.When
purusha become the gnaathaa and agnaatha,the gnaathavishayam is Ayam(Aham /I /also
the word for iron).It knows aparinaami as well as the parinaami.Mind is always the
ability to know.The lord of sensory functions is mind.He is the enjoyer and the
swami.Purusha is swami of that mind.So,the aparinamithwa of purusha is deducible by
mind.The difference between aparinaami purusha and parinaamichitha is deduced and
known by mind.
Pathan:- 19.Na thathwaabhaasam drisyathwaath.
Vyas:- The answer for the question “Whether the chitha itself is seen as agni ,having
own as well as the vishaya’s form(swaabhasa and vishayaabhaasa).Just like the other
sense organs see and reveal the vishaya like sabda etc,in the same way mind also
does.The agni is not an example for that.Fire does not reveal its athmaswroopa that is not
light.The shadow of light is seen when there is union of the one that reveals and the one
that is getting revealed( praakaasya and prakaasaka).In something which is swaroopa
alone there is nounion.The chitha which is selfrevealing (swaabhaasya)is never agrahya(
uncognisable) and the aakaasa which is Athmaprathishta(fixed in itself) cannot be
paraprathishta.(fixed in another). By the communication (samvedana)of each intellect and
its expansion,the functions of the different are happening.I am angry,I am afraid,I am in
love with him,I hate him etc are the own samvedana(swasamvedana)of intellect to know
itself,and people behave according to such thoughts generated by their own levels of
intellect.
Vachas:- The chitha is the vishaya of the Athman.It is selfrevealing.By the effect of the
poorvachitha(past chitha)it make vishayaabhaasa.where is the always knowing vishaya of
purusha in it ? How from aparinaami purusha to the parinaamibheda of chitha ?
Because of swasamvedana(own communication) to chitha.The parinaami chitha is
engaged knowledges and experiences like blueness etc. By that experiences alone one
cannot visualize the revelation of thathwa(thathwaabhaasa).Because when chitha is
involved with the external objects it does chithanirodha in its internal Athma.It has no
kriya,karaka or karma.It does not digest(pachana).Chida does not do chedana(cutting
away).Purusha is aparinaami.Even though selfrevealing ,it does not have the function of
experience is not logically acceptable.The answer is the purusha is said to have difference
in selfrevealing and not revealing nature alone.There is no lack of experience for
purusha.The chitha which has the function of sight is not selfrevealing.It has reflection of
the light of athma.except this revelation by reflection chitha has no other function.Agni
is selfrevealing but is not an example.Because fire cannot enter into fire and give the light
of knowledge .It can reveal itself.It can shine.But it does not know itself.In chaithra by
the union with hay it shines .But this is based on its association.All the plants does not
have the same property of revealing fire .Chithabheda is like this.the function of
selfrevealing of Athman is based on chithabheda.Chitha knows that I have originated.But
all chitha need not know by a process of grahana(cognizance) its swaroopa(own
form),the cause ,the extend,and the ability of maximum expansion,and the liberation
from all etc and these gnaana are dependent on the level of intellect associated with
individual chitha. The vyaapaara( commercial functioning)of intellect in chitha and its
prachaara (expansion /traveling distance) is sathwa (guna)in living things.Chitha has
functional differences of anger ,greed etc based on this vyaapaara.By its ability to
experience own Athman,by own dependence (not depending on any other) the chitha gets
the ability of cognition of its true nature and its lack of cognizance is then lost.This is
different in each individual according to their level of intellectual expansion.
Pathan:- 20.Ekasamaye cha ubhayaanavadhaaranam.
Vyas:-The cognition of own and the other’s swaroopa is logically possible in the same
kshana.According to kshanikavaadins, the karaka of a bhavana(house) will be according
to the kriya performed.
Vachas:- Chitha is selfrevealing and revealing the vishaya( swaabhaasa and
vishayaabhaasa).It can cognize both itself and the vishaya at the same
time,simultaneously.This vyaapaara (cognition of self and cognition of external vishya )
is different only in the kaaryabheda.(the topic of cognizance).The vyaapaara of cognition
is the same.It is the difference in vyaapara which is to be agreed upon.Vainaasika say
vyaaapara is based on the difference in origin.The origin for an eka(one) with no lakshna
,two types of origin is never possible.The meaning and the form of the gnaana is
originating together as cognition and there is no different origin for it.They happen
together in one kshana( Ekasmin kshana:)
Bhoothiryeshaam kriyaasaiva
Kaarakamm saiva chochyathe
Is the view of vainaasika
The vision of the chitha comprises both its always selfrevealing nature and falling from
that position(apanayana) ,and the drashta with its aparinaamithwa and parinaamithwa
Both are known at the same kshana by chita
Pathan:- 21 Chithaantharadrishye budhibudherathiprasangha :smrithisamkarascha:
Vyas:- intellect is the chitha cognizing by different chitha(chithanthara) the budhi
(intellect).Since the thing cognized is the same as the defining thing there is athiprasanga
.(Budhi is cognized by chitha and that process is budhi).Vainaasika say:
Syaanmathi:swarasanirudham chitham chithantharena samanantharena grihyatha:
By the union with memory(smrithisamkara) intellect experience intellect and from that
get other memories.Its union(samkara)is the lack of cognizance of the ekasmrithy
also.Intellect in each communicator(samvedi) creating the lack of experience of the
purusha is vainaasikam.It is by this process the entire universe has become in chaos.To
cognize the form of the cogniser and to attain it(samgachathwam) by nyaaya(logic)
became impossible for humanity by this vainaasika process.Yet,people are able to
imagine sathwa ,and by the logic of joining each of the 5 skandha ,to reestablish the
sathwa which is in the five skanda .The skanda are the mahaanirveda.In them vairagya is
again recreated and they go calmly to a Guru saying”Brahmacharyam gamishyaami” and
rediscover sathwa as puna:sathwa(sathwa again).Samkhyayoga by the swasabda purusha
,argue that Athma,the swami is the enjoyer of chitha .
Vachas:-The quote syaanmathi is the one which reestablish the opinion of vainaasika.I
am panchabhoothaathmaka and I am bhootha(element)is first known by the external sight
as own communication(swasamvedana).But with that alone one cannot get
athmaswroppa.Our own children,the moment we die,become by the nirodha of
swarasa,and we cognize the past ancestors as our swajana .The dead parent ,become the
moment a person of the ancestral past equal to generations of dead.Budhi in the soothra
has to be understood as chitha.The moment we die,our intellect is not able to cognize
what we cognized in the present janama .The present budhi also is unable to cognize the
past janama.What is not grasped is not ours.What we cannot cognize is not
ours.therefore there is anavastha(lack of position0.The vignaanavedana(pain of
knowledge)is samskaara in the form of samgna(name).It is called the skanda.The six
darsana like samkhya,yoga,vaiseshika etc are the skanda.The six darsana have logically
discussed and proved these.
Pathan:- 22 . Chitheraprathisamkramaayaasthadhaakaaraapathou swabudhisamvedanam.
Vyas:- the enjoying power which is aparinaamini is also nonchanging from one place to
other.But we feel that it has parinaami and prathisamkranthi for it .By the other upagraha
and luminant bodies coming near it and the form of these structures in our intellect ,we
cognize its real nature and this is gnaanasakthy.therefore it is said :-
Na paathaalam na cha vivaram gireenaam
Naivaandhakaaram kukshayo nodatheenaam
Guhaa yasyaam nihitham Brahmasaaswatham
Budhivrithimavisishtaam kavayo vedayanthe
Vachas:-Purusha who is aparinaami see itself as aparinaami(purusha)and
parinaami(chitha).Each one considers their own direct perception of the world as
pramaana.The seer gets in love with the seen.The chitha in love with blue accepts the
shadows of blue.Then thinks I am blue(Neelam Aham) and communicates like this.The
knower who has known the knowable is the pratyakshasidha.even though the reflection
of moon is seen in water,watery reflection and the real moon are different.But ,even if it
is gained from the shadow of moon in water ,the knowledge of moon(chandragnaana)is
not apramaana (without eveidence or proof).It is not meant that the chithavrithy which
observes the shadow of light in chith is observing true light.Only when mind do manana
(thinking) about the same thing,it gets involved with it and love it and become one with
it.Chitha has a love for the shadow of light.That is why chaithanya is projected in
chitha.Vainaasika are the people who argue for vignaana alone Chitha experiences the
seen form and the form to be seeen and the form of the seer.Therefor ethe seen and the
seer is not different from chitha.
Abhinno api hi budhyaathmaa
Viparyaaseethadarsanai:
Grahyagraahakasamvithi
Bhedavaan iva lakshyathe
Pathan:- 23 Drashtu drisyoparaktham chitham sarvaaartham
Vyas:-The mind become attracted to vishaya and have uparathi(love of enjoyment)in
them and by this,go on doing manana (thinkig)about it and become one with it.It is also
associated with the vishayi,purusha which is its Athmabhaava by this vrithy.Chitha ,in
this way is revealing both vishaya and vishayi-the seen and the seer-and is both chethana
and achethana in its form and is like a sphatika or crystal refecting both .This chitha is
called the sarvartha or sarvaarthasaadhaka.
By the similarity to chitha, mad people(Braantha)think that vishaya associated with
chitha is the chethana.The others think that chitha alone is chethana and all other
physical world is achethana.The braanthibheeja (seed of madness)think chitha is the
revelation of all other forms.The others feel this view as sympathy deserving.Pragna
means samadhipragna.All which is reflected and all that on which it depend are revealed
in it.That beyond all these also is seen.Purushan is that which cognizes this
samdhipragna.It is with the bhedathraya(three differences)of cognizer,cognition and
cognized the jaathibheda (differences in jaathi)are determined.By this division knowing
each separately and as one in samyagdarsana is the state of purusha.it is not the divided
state.
Vachas:-The Athman is visualized and cognized in samadhipragna by the
Ashtaangayoga.Pragna is samadhipragna in which Athman is reflected.(Not the pragna in
which the physical vishaya are reflected in daily life) Why? Because for it to visualize
Athman,Athman itself is aalamba (help).Pragna is being cognized with pragna itself.All
other pragna which is associated with worldly objects and the branthibheeja are subject
of sympathy for a yogin .
Pathan:- 24. Thathasamkhyeyavaasanaabhichithramapi paraartham
Samhathyakaarithwaath
Vyas:-The statement that there are endless chitha and endless vaasana is said in relation
to the enjoyment of the others and it does not pertain to oneself,for a yogin who has
crossed over all these chithavrithy .He has no vaasna and no chithavrithy either.In the
chitha which is samhathyakaari(which has destroyed all vrithy)nothing selfish
remains.The sukhachitha is not for sukha ,and gnaana is not for gnaanaartha either.Both
are for others.By the enjoyment of sukha and gnaana which is for others,the purusha who
have become arthavaan(with riches,with meaningful life)is paramapurusha itself.The para
is not a mere general term in the word paramapurusha.There is no other general term to
be likened or shown example beyond(para) that purusha .It is the visesha also which is
the ultimate (parama).Vainasika think that it has by destruction(samhatyakarithwa)made
sarvam(everything) as oneself for others .
Vachas:-The different cause in the Athma as sadbhaava ,which is different from chitha is
introduced.When all vaasana are destroyed with klesha ,chitha alone remains.The
vipaaka which are under influence of vaaasna by the dependence on chitha is projecting
enjoyments to chitha.The enjoyment is for the enjoyer and everything reaches chitha for
chith.Even then that chitha due to innumerable vaasana are for para (paraartha).How ?
When chitha is samaahritha,swaartha(own benefit)also is happening .Then how is it
paraartha ? Sukhachitha is bhoga or enjoyment.Du:khalakshana also is sign of enjoyment
of opposite by chitha.But here,for sukhachitha another lakshana gnaana is said.In the
Athmasukha of a gnaani there is no differences of opposites like sukha and du:kha.They
are not in the Athman .In the samahritha chitha no opposites exist.The generations of
yogins with revelation are wise people with gnaana having no such opposite
dualities.They are ,with gnaana ,great purusha.By the method(thanthra)of wisdom they
have conquered the dualities of agnana and they are disinterested in the external vishaya
in which commonmen are interested.Though they have no interest in external vishaya
they have perfect gnaana of them .It is not selfish knowledge.It is purushartha.It is not for
any selfish motive.It is for the benefit of others(paraartha).
Pathan:-25 Viseshadarshina Athmabhaavabhaavanaavinivrithy.
Vyas:-Just like in rainy season,the grass and seeds of plants know their satha of seed and
sprouts,many people ,just by hearing about the wayto moksha get tears and erection of
hairs on body.This occurrence is the lakshana that they will get freedom from karma.This
function of the athmabhaavabhaavana is natural and hence called swaabhaaviki.The
absence of it is unnatural(aswaabhaavika).In this there are those with tastes(asthika)and
with no taste(naasthika).What is Athmabhaavabhaavana ? Who am I ?What is my
Athmaswaroopa ? How did I originate ? What will happen after this ? The enquiry into
such questions forever is in human beings and this curiosity of enquiry into self is the
Athmabhaavabhaavana.Till one gets the special visions(viseshadarsana)one has no
liberation from this enquiry.Becasue of the wonderful parinaama of the chitha ,it is trying
to separate its own form or the true Athmapurushabhaava of it from the forms of avidya
.This is the constant saasthra enquiry of chitha.The taste in it is only for those with
interest and concentration and love for enquiry which is the basis of all science.They go
on analyzing and experimenting it till they get an answer,.Only with this one can become
an expert in the field.Therefore ,those who are not interested in it(naasthika)are neither
experts in it and nor do they have any right to speak about it due to lack of enquiry and
experience .They do not have the necessary qualification(Adhikaara) to do so.
Vachas:-Athmadarsana(visualization of Athman) logically is the rootseed of kaivalya.The
right of upadesaha of it is only for those gnaani purusha who have the gnaana of
purushaantharaavrithy.(Cyclical repetition of the births and deaths).For such yogins with
sradha in ashtangayoga who has mature chitha special darsana (visions)are obtained.By
those darsana the bhaavana of Athmabhava is lost.The Naasthika have no
athmabhaavabhaavana.Therefore they have no right to advice on such mattres .Because
they do not know and do not believe in it ,they have not experimented and found the truth
of it,and hence no right to speak about it also.Without bhaavana of Athman,its special
darsana and the detachment from it and its method how can they say something about it?
Even if they say some opinion due to lack of experience ,that opinion will be false .
The seed of visualization of the past is attained by ashtangayoga,its concentrated practice
for several years,and chithavrithinirodha alone is possible.Sometimes some people
naturally witout any practice get such darsana.The people who do not believe in Athman
,paraloka and the paralokagamana cannot explain this phenomenon.The ruchi and
aruchi(love and hate /taste and distaste)is determined in the 25 thathwavishaya.The taste
and distaste in Athmabhaavana is what we call Praghya itself ,because
Athmabhaavabhaavana is praghya.In the yogin who have very special darsana and
experts in them,even praghya or athmabhaavabhaavana is controlled in
chithavrithinirodha.that state cannot be explained by those who have no experience of it.
Pathan:- 26 Thada vivekanimnam kaivalyapraagbhaaram chitham
Vyas:- By the earlier weight of vishaya,chitha drowns in samsaara.But in the previous
weight of the kaivalya(of past) chitha is drowned in wisdom.
Vachas:- for the greatmen with special darsana,due to the depth and weight of the
experience of kaivalya chitha is merged in Wisdom and is drowned in vivekagnaana.
Pathanj:-27 Thachidreshu pratyayaantharaani samskaarebhya:
Vyas:-When a chitha thus immersed in wisdom has only continuous flow of
vivekakhyathi.In case achidra(discontinuity)haapens to that flow ,the feelings of
Asmi,mama (I ,Mine) and I know nad I do not know etc happen in that chitha.The reason
for this is the weakened and remaining seeds of earlier samskaara.
Vachas:-Even in those who had special darsana and immersed inwisdom,chitha may
again do vyuthaana.Pratyaya means “Pratheeyathe yena sa pratyayam”.Therefore here,it
is chithasathwa itself.The pratyayaanthara (another pratyaya)of chitha .When a seer who
had darsana say”Jaanami”(I know) the poorvasamskaarabheeja is the experience of
having seen the darsana. When he say “Na jaanaami” there is moha and it is that moha
creating ahamkaara and asmitha which makes him say mine,I etc .In this case the
poorvasamskaarabeeja is the past samsaarabeeja which have been weakened but not
totally burned.That is why it is again sprouting.
Pathan:-28.Haanameshaam klesavad uktham.
Vyas:- How the klesha do not sprout again from being burned ,and loosing their ability to
sprout again,in that way by the fire of gnaaana destroys all past samskaara and by
gnaanasamskaara one has to deduce the end(samapthy)of adhikara (power)of chitha to
sprout the seeds of avidya again.
Vachas:-In viveka ,the samskara of vyuthana can be born as pratyayanthara as said
before. Its cause also is said.Only that which is partially destroyed is able to
sprout.Totally burned cannot raise again.When samskaara of viveka is made
discontinuous the samskara of vyuthana happen.When vyuthanasamskara is totally
controlled vivekasamskara flow continuously.therefore nirodhasamskara is the upaaya
(method) to obtain wisdom.For gnaanasamskara the nirodha of desire in external vishaya
is a must.It is paravairagyasamskara.(Therefore no person without vairagya in vishaya is
having qualification or right to give advice on Athmagnaanavishaya)
Pathan:- 29.Prasamkhyaane api kuseedasya sarvathaa
Vivekakhyaathe dharmamegha:Samadhi:
Vyas:- In a pragna which thinks I am a Brahmana there is bheda(difference).But in the
pragna of a viraktha ,there is no such differences and only vivekakhyathi exists.In that
chitha since the total destruction of seed has happened no more samsaara is
sprouting.This state is called the Samadhi ,Dharmamegha.
Vachas:- After saying that prasamkhyana is the method for nirodha of vyuthanachitha,the
commentator says the upaaya for nirodha of prasamkhyana itself.Prasamkhyana is the
basis of all bhaava .even in that there is change or parinamithwa and the viraktha seeing
this sacrifices even prasamkhyana and becomes vivekakhyathi alone.Even the thoughts
like “I am a Brahman”etc does not arise in him.He is now in Samadhi state called
dharmamegha.Viraktha do nirodha of prasamkhyana and meditate on Samadhi called
dharmamegha.In that upaasana vivekakhyathi happens.
Pathan:- 30 .Thatha :klesanivrithy:
Vyas:- When one attains this,the avidya etc are destroyed forever and so too the efficient
as well as inefficient karmaasaya.Jeeva is liberated.The vidwan is liberated only then.
Vachas:-The liberation from all klesa is the use or prayojana.Only at that stage the
scholar gets true liberation.The karma including the cause for the jaathi etc are
destroyed.When the basis (nidaana)is destroyed there cannot be any nidani which is
based on it.So klesha will never arise(vyuthana)again.Bhagavaan Akshapaada has said
about this as “Veetharaagajanmaadarsanaath”(Nyayasoothra 3.1.25).
Pathan:-31 Thadaa sarvaavaranamalaapethasya gnaanasyaananthyaa gneyamalpam.
Vyas:- For the one who is liberated from all coverings of klesa impurities,the eternal
gnaana is attained.The endless gnaanasathwa,covered by thamas becomes functional due
to rajas and become efficient to cognize.Then when all the covering impurity of thamas
and rajas are removed it is revealed endless .In the endless gnaana ,the gneya is aquiring
only very little.Just like a shining insect in the vast space.Therefore Thaithareeya
Aranyaka says:
Andho manimavidhyathamanguliraavayath
Agreevastham pratyamunjathamajihuo abhyapoojayath.
Vachas:- In the endless ocean of gnaana we gather only verylittle.When all impurities are
removed the endless gnana is revealed.In a chitha with aparimeya gnaana vision,no more
klesabheeja sprouts.The endless gnaana vision is like the vision of sun in a sky in the
sarath season when all the clouds are removed.When this vision is attained,the scholar
understands the littleness of the knowledgeof the external universe he had before.
The knowledge of external universe and objects of a scholar is then compared quoting
Thaithereeya .It is like the jewel of a blind man,a lyre in the hand of a fingerless
person,like hymn of the toungue in a head with no neck,and like a shining insect in the
vast space .The littleness of it is revealed only when one gets the vision of endless eternal
wisdom.
Pathan:- 32.Thatha:krithaarthaanaam parinaamakramasamapthirgunaanaam.
Vyas:-By the dawn of dharmamegha,the guna are satisfied and their evolutionary order
ends.
Vachas:- Above dharmamegha,and beyond it ,a ultimate para which is
gnaanaprasaadamaathra ,does not exist.Guna are naturally having functions of
emotions.When the guna are satisfied and do not function further,the needs of the body
and the senses ,behaviour of the emotional types etc also end since they are not needed
anymore.
Pathan:- 33.Kshanaprathiyogi parinaamaaparaanthanigrahya:krama:
Vyas:- the order of evolution of guna ends .How ? The endless internal evolution which
is continuous forever , in order is cognized. The order of kshana which is not
experienced is by its age,at the end of the cloth.The daily order is fixed.And it is
seen.The eternity of centralization is that of purusha.The eternity of evolution is that of
guna.eternity is there for both but one is changing and the other is changeless.The
gunadharma etc with evolution in intellect ,is destroyed only in the end of the day or end
of life and it is then the order ends.For the daily dharma, for guna such an end does not
happen.In the eternity of purusha in the center,in the liberated person,the being of own
form(swaroopaasthithwa)itself is experienced as the order.Its end is not after the sabda(in
sabdaprishta) but at the end of the function.In the gathi,sthithi and guna of samsaara why
not the end of order of samsaara ? Because it cannot be spoken by words.(avachaneeya)
Why is it so ?
Asthi prasna ekaanthavachaneeya :-
Why does all that is born die ?
Om bho ithi.
Why do people take birth after death ?
By the divided vachaneeya.
When the khyathi is dawned ,the desire is weakened.The kusala does not take birth
again.All others are reborn.Just like the manushyajaathi(the human race)is divided into
those with sreyas and without sreyas.For a pasu there is adhikara in sreyas .But deva do
not have adhikara in it.For those who say “I and You “there is no right in sreyas.
Only when samsaara end eternal gnaana is attained.And the end of order of samsaara is
only for kusala.Therefore the two types of gnaana are said for people having samsara and
without samsara.Kaivalya is the end of order of gunaadhikaara . Its swaroopa will be
explained now..
Vachas:- The order of evolution is now explained in a different way.The order of
evolution is opposite to kshana.Only with several kshana and their groups the
evolutionhappens.The order,its end,its differences etc are not understood properly in
evolutionary order. Since wedo not know the exact order of kshana ,the group
(prachaya)and its dependence on groups also in balance.The cloth may be new.But the
material for production,the methods of making it ,the methods of protecting it have been
in use from time immemorial .Therefor eone can understand the evolution and order of it
and end of it .In this way one can resort to understanding the order of evolution.In the
past the most subtle,the least subtle and the intermediate ,the most gross ,the least gross
and intermediate (sookshmathama,sookshma
,sookshmathara,sthoolathama,sthoola,sthoolathara)were deduced.These were not
observed by their vyathireka(differences).It was the experienced,the not experienced and
the one which is attainable in a kshana.The omniscience is known in the order.By
observing the different types of eternity the omniscience of the order was cognized.The
centralized (kootastha)eternal is by nature endless (aprachyutha)and
aparinami(nonchanging).The parinami and always ending and loosing prakrithy also is
eternal .Because it is by the position of dharmalakshana that the dawn,setting ,loss ,gain
etc happen .They are not existent in the dharmi,prakrithy.When we get the end,the
dharma are lost.For pradhaana there is no end.But in the evolution of dharmaroopa it has
an order of evolution.For kootastha aparinami purusha this evolutionary order is not
there.But for the purusha in a jeeva ,which is bound with the ego of differences of mine
and yours,this is present.In liberated purusha there is no evolutionary change because he
is already an evolved one.
The lack of end of guna results in in the order of evolution. Because of it (evolutionary
order)the srishti (creation)and gathi(movement)happen.This ends only during the
mahaapralaya or great destruction.All living things die.Om Bho signifies “Yes
.Truth”.The human race by the divided vachana (om + bho) and its repeting order are
reborn.Therefore in this ,there is no difference between kusala and akusala .All have to
die and reborn.In it,there is no otherness ,exception or ekanthatha (solitude).The living
thing ,whichever jaathi it is,is having power of sreyas in it.The only human beings
nothaving adhikara in it are those who has feeling of duality like “I,You,mine,yours
“etc.Even for the most lower intelligence it is possible to get end of samsaara and moksha
by sincere effort gradually.There is difference only in the time interval taken for
liberated.In sruthi,smrithy,ithihaasa and purana in the series of creation and prathisarga
the beginningless ,endless nature is explained.The samsaara of endless living creatures
for eternity,its end ,and kramamukthy,attainment of vivekhakhyathi and the order of
experience we can deduce that both samsaara and moksha is eternal.
Pathan:- 34 Purushaarthasoonyaanaam gunaanaam prathiprasava:kaivalyam
Swroppaprathishtaa vaa chithisakthirithi.
Vyas:Enjoying all the four purushartha ,when there is nothing else to be enjoyed the
recreation of the cause and effect of guna ceases.This is kaivalya.It is
swaroopaprathishta.the purusha which is associated with the intellect (budhisathwa) gets
kevalathwa like chithisakthy(cosmic energy).And in this state that jeevathma gets
permanent position and that is kaivalya.
Vachas:- The cognition of kaivalyaswroopa. The one who has achieved everything is
having no more purushartha .He has merged with his own cause ,the pradhana .All the
cause,effect and awakening of guna are merged in his mind (leena).Mind in asmitha and
asmitha in linga and linga in alinga is merged(leena).The recreation of guna does not
happen again.In that state purusha gets liberation even from pradhaana.The liberation of
purusha is his swaroopaprathishta.Even in mahaapralaya this prathishta is existent as
chithisakthi.

Thus end the Thathwavaisaaradi of Vachaspathimisra on the Yogasoothrabhashya ,the
fourth paada named kaivalyapaada.
