THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
as a man approaches death, and therefore he drops, as it were, into right or wrong belief without offering great resistance.
सम्मत्तदेसघादिस्सुदयादो वेदगं हवे सम्मं । चलमलिनमगाढं तं णिच्चं कम्मक्खवणहेदु ॥ २५॥ सम्यक्त्वदेशघातेरुदयाद्वेदकं भवेत्सम्यक्त्वम् । चलं मलिनमगाढं तन्नित्यं कर्मक्षपणहेतु ॥२५॥

But by the destruction of these seven arises the destructive-right-belief, Ksháyika (Samyaktva). And by the operation of the second (class, i, e., partial-vow-preventing or Apratyákhyána) passions this right belief is without control (Asamyata) or vowless.
Commentary. The 4th stage is called Avirata or Asamyata Samyaktva or vowless-right-belief. Vows cannot appear in it because there is operation of the partial-vow-preventing passions (Apratyákhyáná varana kasháya). The right belief in this stage may be of three kinds. The latter kind is always preceded by the former :These three kinds of right belief are as follows :--
