[292] The text of the *Prajñāpanā Sūtra* mentions the practice of *kāyayoga* within the three yogas, and also describes its order. Here, four meanings are intended for *āvarjīkaraṇa*: (1) turning the soul towards liberation, (2) achieving liberation through the auspicious use of mind, speech, and body, (3) *āvarjīkaraṇa* is the engagement of auspicious yogas towards liberation due to *prāvajita* (i.e., *bhavyatva*), and (4) the use of auspicious yogas from the perspective of a *kevali* within the *prā* boundaries. *Āvarjīkaraṇa* is performed before the *kevalisamudghāta*, which takes an immeasurable amount of time. After *āvarjīkaraṇa*, *kevalisamudghāta* begins without interruption, and it lasts for a *pāṭha* time. The text provides the order of this process. In the initial four *kalas*, the *ātmapradeśas* are expanded, while in the last four *kalas*, they are contracted. It is also said that in the first *kala*, the *kevali* extends their body-measure to the upper and lower *lokaantas* and in all directions, in the second *kala* they perform *kapāta*, in the third *kala* they perform *manthāna*, and in the fourth *kala* they fill the *lokas*. Then, they contract in the reverse order, i.e., in the opposite direction, and return to their own body. (2) The order of the attainment of *yoganirodha* etc. by the *kevali* who performs *samudghāta* - (1) Before attaining *siddhi*, the *kevali* is not *siddha* (established in the meaning), *buddha*, *mukta*, or attained *parinirvāṇa* (cooled due to being free from karmic afflictions) even though they have attained *samudghāta* in the *samudghāta* state, and they are not free from all suffering. This is because their yogas are not yet restrained, and the *sayogi* has not yet attained *siddhi*. What do they do before attaining *siddhi*? In this regard, it is said that the *kevali* in the *samudghāta* state withdraws from *kevalisamudghāta* and then practices *manoyoga*, *vacaṇayoga*, and *kāyayoga*. (2) (3) The practice of *kāyayoga* by the *kevali* in the *samudghāta* state - The *kevali* in the *samudghāta* state practices *audārikasārīrakāyayoga*, *audārikamiśrasārīrakāyayoga*, and *kārmaṇasārīrakāyayoga* in the first and eighth, second, sixth, and seventh, and third, fourth, and fifth *kalas*, respectively. They do not practice the remaining *vaikriyavaikriyamiśra* and *āhārak-pāhārak miśra* *kāyayogas*. (4) The practice of the three yogas after withdrawing from *kevalisamudghāta* - After withdrawing from *samudghāta*, they practice *manoyoga*, and within that, only *satyamanoyoga* and *asatyāmṛṣāmanoyoga*. They do not practice *mṛṣāmanoyoga* and *satyāmṛṣāmanoyoga*. The meaning is that when the *kevali* Bhagavan, endowed with the glory of *vacanāgocara*, withdraws from *kevalisamudghāta* by making the *nāma*, *gotra*, and *vedanīya* karmas, which are in an uneven state, equal to the *āyukarma*, they attain the supreme state in the same *antarmuhūrta*. However, during that period, they practice *manoyoga* by taking in the *pudgalas* of *manovargāṇa* to answer the questions asked by the *anuttarauṣapātika* devas with their minds. That *manoyoga* is either *satyamanoyoga* or *asatyāmṛṣāmanoyoga*. The *kevali* who has withdrawn from *samudghāta* speaks the truth. 1. *Prajñāpanā*. (Commentary *Prameyabodhinī*) Bha. 5 2.
