There are three means of acquiring Samyaktva. They are nained 1. Yathā-pravritti karana Te genericor 2. Apūrva karana shqetur, and 3. Anivritti karaṇa marester cor. Under the influence of Yathā pravrittikarana, a man reduces the peried of the highest time-limit of all the Karmas, except the Āyu karma, to a period of an Asankhyāta-bhāga si Art of a Palyopam less than one Kota-koti sāgaropam' to be known by the illustration of the Cup and other things. That condition of the Soul, during which the highest period of time-limit of each of the remaining seven Karmas is reduced to one kota-koti sāgaropam by the niind's pure ideas, is caused by the Yathā-pravritti karaña.
Out of the eight illustrations named in the under-montioned Gāthā, two only, apply to Yathā-pravritti karana.
