In the Harivamsha Purana, it is said that there are three types of asrava: Kaya Yoga, Vachan Yoga, and Mano Yoga. These are the causes of the influx of punya and papa karma into the soul. After asrava, the soul is bound by the strong chains of karma bandha and wanders in the terrible cycle of samsara for a long time. ||85|| The cessation of both dravya asrava and bhaava asrava is called samvara. This samvara is achieved through gati, samiti, dharma, anupreksha, parisahjaya, and charitra. When samvara is achieved along with nirjara, the soul becomes liberated by the destruction of its own karma. ||86|| There are two types of nirjara based on the difference between anubandhini and niranubandhini. Then, there are two types of anubandhini nirjara based on the difference between akusala and kusala. The nirjara that occurs in the hells and other lower realms due to the constant influence of karma is called akusala anubandhini nirjara. The nirjara that occurs in the realms of gods and other higher realms due to the influence of samyama is called kusala anubandhini nirjara. The nirjara after which there is a continued binding of karma is called anubandhini nirjara. The nirjara after which the past karma is destroyed but there is no binding of new karma is called niranubandhini nirjara.
The supreme yogi, Baldev Muni, contemplated on this niranubandhini anupreksha. ||87|| The existence of the world is beginningless and endless. This world is situated in the middle of the space of the universe. Within this world, the six types of beings constantly experience suffering. This contemplation is called lokanupreksha. ||88|| First, it is rare to be born in the world of the stationary beings after being born in the womb of a mother. Then, it is rare to obtain a body. Even among the bodies, it is rare to have the perfection of the senses. Even with the perfection of the senses, it is extremely rare to attain the knowledge of the three jewels, which is characterized by the appropriate dharma and the fruit of which is the attainment of the highest samadhi. ||89|| The dharma described by the Jina, which is characterized by ahimsa, etc., is the cause of liberation. By abandoning this dharma, one attains the suffering of samsara. This contemplation is called the final dharma anupreksha. ||90|| Thus, Baldev Muni, who had a sharp intellect and contemplated on the twelve anuprekshas, which are famous by tradition, conquered the attachment of his brother by defeating the twenty-two enemies in the form of parisahja. ||91|| 1.
