8> axAditritayaM hi pramANaM - [Perception ] anumana [Logic] and agama [Scriptures] etc.,are indeed the sources of knowledge
9> akhila-AmnAya-eka-vedyo hariH - Hari alone is conveyed in all the Veda
A tatva is a real entity. A entity [object] when perceived
as it exists [a thing in itself] it is said to be real.
For example a rope is perceived as rope [only] then the object rope is a real
entity. But if it is perceived as snake, then the object snake is superimposed perception and not real.
All the entities which convey themselves in real are known as tatvas.
Tatvas are of two types, Svatantra and asvatantra [paratantra].
Independent and dependent.
Supreme God Vishnu alone is svatantra independent.
And all others are dependent on HIM.
The paratantra is again divided into BHAVA and ABHAVA.
Bhava is of two types Chetan and ACHETANA.
Chetana is of two types:
One afflicted by sorrow and one untouched by sorrow.
Goddess Laxmi devi is Nitya mukta and untouched by sorrow.
She is the consort of Vishnu.
The other type those afflicted by sorrow are of two types:
Muktayogya and Muktiayogya.
Muktiyogya are those liberated and unliberated.
Rest are of two types, Neech madhyama [Tamoyogya and nityasamsari].
Muktiyogya are Devata rishi Pitru Raja narottama
Tamoyogya are classified as
daitya rakshas pishacha and naradhama four types.
Muktiyogya reach Vaikuntha and tamoyogya reach andhatamisra.
Both worlds have no return.
Mukti is achieved by Nirmal Bhakti towards the Supreme
And unmixed hate guarantees the andhatamisra.
It is the intrinsic nature of the soul to be under a class.
Achetan is classified as Nitya Anitya And nityaanitya,
Veda akshara and Avyakrut akasha are all nitya.
Purana, kala and prakruti are all nityanitya.
