________________ SAMVAR PREVENTION OF KARMA 193 be undertaken by those with strong physique. In this connection the sutra particularly specifies two aspects, Sanhanan and Ekagrata. The former relates to the strength of the body. The meditation may involve adopting tough postures. That cannot be retained long, unless the body is strong to withstand the strain. The latter relates to concentration. The mind being fickle, it continually moves from one subject to another. It has to be concentrated on one subject. It is, however, not possible to retain the concentration very long. Sutra 28 therefore states that the maximum duration of concentration is less than 48 minutes. आर्तरौद्रधर्मशुक्लानि // 9-29 // परे मोक्षहेतू // 9-30 // 9.29: Artaraudradharmashuklani 9.30: Pare Mokshahetoo (Artadhyan, Raudradhyan, Dharmadhyan and Shukladhyan are four types of Dhyan. The latter two can lead to liberation.) In Jain tradition meditation denotes attentiveness. Sutra 29 specifies four types of attentiveness, which are known as Artadhyan, Raudradhyan, Dharmadhyan and Shukladhyan. The first two are unwholesome and they do not constitute meditation. Sutra 30 therefore states that only the remaining two are purposeful in the sense that they can lead to liberation. आर्तममनोज्ञानां सम्प्रयोगे तद्विप्रयोगाय स्मृतिसमन्वाहारः // 9-31 // वेदनायाश्च // 9-32 // Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
