## Introduction
The following chapters contain details related to the six *leshyas* and meditation. It is stated here that the *Krishna*, *Neela*, and *Kapota* *leshyas*, as well as the *Aarta* and *Roudra* meditations, are all to be abandoned. However, the *Tejo*, *Padma*, and *Shukla* *leshyas*, and the *Dharma* and *Shukla* meditations are to be adopted. Details of the six *leshyas* and meditation are also found in the *Sthananga*, *Samavayanga*, *Uttaraadhyayana*, and other *Agam* texts (71-72).
It is stated that a *sanayati* (practitioner) who is endowed with *Triguti*, *Panchasamiti*, and *Dwadash Bhavana* should protect the five great vows (73-76). It is also stated that *Guptis* and *Samitis* are the protectors and saviors of an individual (77).
Not everyone is capable of achieving the purpose of the soul. Who is capable of achieving the purpose of the soul? It is stated that if a virtuous person is free from desire and self-aware, they can achieve the purpose of their soul even in a cave, on a rocky surface, or in an inaccessible place (80-84).
While describing the merits and demerits of *Akrit-yoga* and *Krit-yoga*, it is stated that even if someone is learned, but has outward-facing senses, a broken character, is unrefined, and has not practiced in the past, they will inevitably fall into the lower realms at the time of death. Such a person is unable to bear the consequences of their actions at the time of death. However, a person who is not attached to worldly pleasures, does not desire future rewards, and whose passions have been destroyed, will not be disturbed even when facing death, but will embrace it with eagerness (85-93). This is indeed the state of *Samadhi-maran* (death in meditation). Every Jain follower desires to die in this way, free from all kinds of afflictions, abandoning attachment and aversion, in the final moments of their life.
What is the cause of *Samadhi-maran*? It is stated that neither a bed of grass nor a bed of soft earth is the cause of *Samadhi-maran*. 1. *Sthananga* 1/191, 3/1/58, 3/4/515, 4/1/60. 2. *Samavayanga* 4/20, 6/31. 3. *Uttaraadhyayana* 30/35, 31/8.
