पर� केवलिन� � �.३८ �

Anvayartha: [pare] shukladhyana ke antima do bheda arthat sukshmakriyapratipati aura vyuparatakriyanivarti ye do dhyana [kevalinah] kevali bhagavana ke hote haim |

Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi:

The first two kinds of pure meditation�śܰԲ–must occur to the śruta𱹲ī. In whom do the rest arise?

The last two types of pure meditation�śܰԲ–arise in the Omniscient-with-vibration�sayoga𱹲ī–and non-vibratory Omniscient�ayoga𱹲ī. The Omniscient is the one who has destroyed the entire knowledge-obscuring (ñ屹ṇīy) karmas.
