Uvavaiya Suttam Su. 42
types of karma are not wholly uprooted, viz., those giving experience, life-span, name and lineage. Of these, the highest is karma giving experience and the lowest is karma giving life-span. They have to equal their karma giving experience which is pretty high with life-span. This they do through a vigorous and sudden transformation called samudghata,
Gautama : Bhante! Is it necessary for each and every. Kevali to undergo this vigorous and sudden transformation ?
Mahāvira : No, this is not so. For, it is said, without undertaking samudghata, many a Kevali Jina has been liberated from life and death, to attain perfection. 1
केवली समुद्घात का स्वरूप
Nature of Kavali-Samudghāta
गौतम : कइ समए णं भंते! आउज्जीकरणे पण्णत्ते ? महावीर : गोयमा ! असंखेज्जसमइए अंतोमुहुत्तिए पण्णत्ते । गौतम : केवली समुग्धाए णं भंते ! कइसमइए पण्णत्ते ?
महावीर : गोयमा ! अंटूसमइए पण्णत्ते । तं जहा - पढ समए दंड करेइ । बिइए समए कवाडं करेइ । तईए सम मंथं करेइ । चउत्थे समये लोयं पूरेइ । पंचमे समए लोयं पडिसाहरइ । छट्ट समए मंथ पडिसाहरइ । सत्तमे समए कवाड पडसाहरइ । अट्टमे समए दंडं पडिसाहरइ । पडिसाहरित्ता तओ पच्छा सरीरत्थे भवइ !
गौतम : भगवन् ! आवर्जीकरण - कर्म पुद्गलों को उदयावस्था का प्रक्रियाक्रम कितने समय का बतलाया गया है ?
