pramāda
though tinged with (carelessness or laziness). This is the first stage of life as a muni,
i. e. of homelessness.
Elimination of pramāda, and partial realisation of the svābhāvika ānanda, i. e., joy.
Noted for the new channels of thought thrown open by the purification of mind and the quiescence of the elements of disturbance. More advanced thought-activity, i. e., meditation.
Only very slight greed left to be controlled.
Quiescence of the remaining traces of greed.
Desirelessness i, e. the complete eradication of greed, hence perfection in Right conduct.
Omniscience, hence the perfection of Right knowledge, and the realisation of the state of jivanmukti that is liberation in the embodied state. In the case or Tirthankaras revelation also takes place in this stage.
The cessation of the activity of three yogas, i. e. the channels of aśrava. The next step takes one to Nirvāņa.
