Chapter 5 – A Line of Demarcation between the first four and last four Yogadṛṣṭis [15 of 121]
Chapter 5.2 – Vedyasaṃvedyapada and Avedyasaṃvedyapada [10 of 13]
Avedyasaṃvedyapada [6 of 9]
Definition of avedyasaṃvedyapada [5 of 8]
Haribhadrasūri classifies all living beings into two broad categories. They are:
- The holder of vedyasaṃvedyapada,
- The holder of avedyasaṃvedyapada.
However, upādhyāya Yaśovijaya, who is known as Laghu Haribhadrasūri, has divided the above mentioned second category into two. In his twenty second dvātriṃśikā, he deals with the subcategories.
The verse is as follows:
avedyasaṃvedyapade puṇyaṃ niranubandhakam |
bhavābhinandijantūnāṃ pāpaṃ syātsānubandhakam ||22.29||
The verse literally means that in avedyasaṃvedyapada auspicious karman (puṇya) happens to be niranubandhaka whereas a sinful deed of a rejoicer of worldly existence becomes pāpānubandhi. The meritorious deeds of a beholder of avedyasṃvedyapada are not conducive to either accumulation of auspicious karman or inauspicious karman. Hence it is called niranubandha. A beholder of avedyasaṃvedyapada who is also a rejoicer of worldly existence, is the one whose sinful activities are always conducive to accumulating more and more inauspicious karman (pāpa).
