asankhyāta samyamasthānas more pratisevanākuśīla comes to a stop; lastly, after covering asankhyāta saṁyamasthānas still more kaṣāyakuśīla comes to a stop. Then come the samyamasthānas devoid of all kaṣāyas-that is, those supposed to be due to yoga alone-and they are covered by nirgrantha; but he too comes to a stop after covering asankhyāta such samyamasthānas. After that comes the one last, supreme, pure and steady samyamasthāna which is experienced by snātaka before he attains nirvāṇa. Though the just described samyamasthānas are asankhyāta in number the purity of an immediately later saṁyamasthāna is anantānanta times greater than that of an immediately earlier one. 49.
