The Suddha Kasmantavejiya, free from the defilements of the six senses, etc., and endowed with the qualities of the five senses, are like the sun, pure and radiant. They consume the subtle essence of the five senses, and quickly transform it into their physical form.
The Arhants, the A-yogis, and the Paramātma, who are free from the defilements of the six senses, do not consume food. The remaining living beings, who are bound by the cycle of birth and death, are of four types, just as they are different from the four types of motion.
The living beings are also of fourteen types, according to their state of being and their qualities. These fourteen types are further divided into five types, according to their senses.
Listen! The first type is the Mithyādṛṣṭi, the second is the Sāsana-Sāsādana, the third is the Miśra, the fourth is the Aviraṭ (Asanyata), the fifth is the Samyakdṛṣṭi, the sixth is the Deśa-Samyata, the seventh is the Pramatta, the eighth is the Apramatta, the ninth is the Yogī, the tenth is the Vedī, the eleventh is the Kṣayī, the twelfth is the Parikshīṇakṣayī, the thirteenth is the Sayogakevalī, and the fourteenth is the A-yogakevalī.
The A-yogakevalī is the highest state of being, and is free from all defilements. He is also free from the body, and is therefore called the "A-yogī."
The A-yogakevalī is the ultimate goal of all Jains. He is the one who has attained liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
