तर सचित्र उत्तराध्ययन सूत्र
एकोनत्रिंश अध्ययन [३८८
In short, from the eighth stage of soul purification the soul attains infatuation karma destructing thought current ladder (ksapaka śreņi) aiming only this the word ladder of spiritual virtuous thought current is used.
Maxim 15-Appraisal of virtues by one, two, three couplets (ślokas) is called stuti and by more than three couplets-stanzas (slokas) is called stotra. Both bears the same meaning-appraisal of virtues with devotion.
Maxim 71-The duration karma bondage occurs only by passions. By the passionless activities of mind, speech and body as it takes place it sheds off like the lump of clay thrown on the wall; because it is not greasy by attachments and detachment. Even to omniscient, till he remains with yogas by the activities of movement. sitting-standing etc., the pleasant touching bondage takes place only with duration of two moments and when the omniscient becomes ayogi by ceasing the activities of yogas, then no bondage occurs.
Maxim 73.-a, i, u,!,! (37, 3, 3, 7, ) these are five small letters. Speaking these letters by medium speed takes as much time the same period is of fourteenth soul purification stage (ayogi kevali gunasthāna). After it the soul attains salvation quitting all types of bodies.
Purest meditation here means the obsolutely pure meditation of samucchinna kriya, which totally exhausts the karmas. This is state of soul stability like mountain Meru. It is called samucchinna kriya-anivýtti purest meditation.
Maxim 74-Motion is of two kinds-(1) straight motion and (2) curved motion.
The upward motion of karma-free and quit-bodied soul takes place straight and even ladder and completes within only one moment infinite part of a second which is indivisible.)
There are many kinds of motion like touching the space-points, without touching the spacepoints etc.
When soul moves touching the atoms and molecules of matter, that is called touching movement or motion.
The karma-free or perfect soul goes upward with touch-free motion. There are many interpretations of without touching motion
According to VỊhad Vịtti meaning is, the soul exists here occupying as much space-points moves upward touching only that much space-points, except these he does not touch even a single space-point. Without touching movement does not mean that salvated soul even not touch the spacepoints.
According to Acārya Abhayadeva (Aupapātika Vstti) the meaning of untouching movement is like this-without touching in between space-points starting from here and straightly reaching the highest salvation abode. He says that salvated soul goes upward without touching in between spacepoints at all. Here the logic is-if the salvated soul moves touching in between space-points then how he can reach the salvation abode within the shortest span of time-one samaya ? He cannot reach there at any cost.
According to Avašyaka Cūmi-without touching movement or motion means-the salvated soul reaches the liberation abode within the shortest span of time-one samaya. It does not take second samaya in going upward. It is the natural speed of salvated soul going straight. No curve is to be taken, therefore it need not second samaya.
