Sanvara is the opposite of Asrava. Sanvara is the restraint of the causes that bind karma. It mainly happens due to Asrava Yoga. Therefore, the cessation of Yoga is Sanvara.
The Tathagata Buddha has mentioned Sanvara. He has explained it by dividing it as follows: (1) Sanvara controls the senses and when the senses are controlled, they become secret senses, which prevents sensory Asrava. (2) Pratisevna - If one does not eat, drink, wear clothes, take medicine, etc., the mind does not remain happy and if the mind does not remain happy, karma is bound. Therefore, to keep the mind happy, these should be used, which will prevent Asrava. It should be remembered here that if it is used from the point of view of enjoyment, then it is the cause of Asrava. (3) Adhivasana - Some have the ability to endure physical pain. He likes physical pain. Then he gets Asrava-restraint from enduring pain. (4) Parivarjana - Cruel elephants, horses, etc. animals, snakes scorpions etc. animals, pits thorns places; sinful friends, all these are causes of suffering. By abandoning those causes of suffering, Asrava is restrained. (5) Vinodana - If one does not break the binding thoughts like violence, sinful thoughts, lustful thoughts, etc., then the Asrava arising from them is restrained. (6) Bhavana - Asrava is restrained by good thoughts. If good thoughts are not cultivated, then bad thoughts will arise. Therefore, good thoughts are the cause of restraint of Asrava to restrain bad thoughts.

After Asrava and Sanvara, there is mention of Vedana and Nirjara. To experience karma is 'Vedana'. It is of two types. To experience Vedana at the time when the state of Abadikal is complete, and to bring forth the karma that is eligible to arise in the future, the being brings it into the Udayavali before the ripening of the state due to his special determination, this is Udirana. To experience the karma brought forth by Udirana, this is the second type. Buddhists have said that the cause of Asrava is Avidya. Restraining Avidya is the same as restraining Asrava. They have divided Asrava into three types: Kama Asrava, Bhaya Asrava and Avidya Asrava.

After Vedana, there is mention of Nirjara. Nirjara means the destruction of accumulated karma. The 24th Acharya Hemchandra has written that karma is the seed of Bhava-bhramana. The separation of those karmas from the Atma-pradeshas is "Nirjara". It is of two types - Sakamaniriara and Akamaniriara. The destruction of karma by means of effort and knowledge, such as tapasya, etc., is Sakamaniriara. In Sakamaniriara, there is discrimination between the soul and liberation, due to which even the smallest Nirjara is capable of giving great results. An ignorant being cannot exhaust as much karma in millions of years as a wise person can exhaust in a single breath. Akamaniriara is that - when the state of karma is complete, when the karma is experienced, their separation. Due to dependence, the restraint of enjoyment and consumption also leads to Akamaniriara. For example, a being in hell or in the animal realm endures unbearable pain, terrible torture, piercing and cutting. And even in human life, he endures suffering unwillingly due to compulsion. It is of two types.
