Mlecchka Matah. Anyatha'nyaih Samacharerarya-vartena Te Samai. (Adipu. Parva 31 Sloka 143) Based on this evidence, the Mlecchas are considered to be averse to religion, conduct, and duties. So how can their Samyama (self-restraint) be accepted? Jaydhavalakar has solved this by saying that the Mleccha kings and others who come to the Aryakhanda (Aryan region) with the army of the Chakravarti (universal monarch) for conquest, and who establish matrimonial relations with the people here, there is no objection to their acceptance of Samyama. Or another solution is also given that the offspring born from the womb of the Mleccha women married to Chakravarti etc. is referred to as 'Akarmabhumi' here, because such Akarmabhumi offspring are not found to be prohibited from taking initiation.
Churnimula-The Akarmabhumi who attains Samyama, the minimum Samyama-sthana (state of self-restraint) attained by him is infinite times greater than that. From this, the maximum Samyama-sthana attained by the Karmabhumi who attains Samyama is infinite times greater. From this, the minimum Samyama-sthana of the Parihara-suddhi-samyata is infinite times greater. From this, his (i.e. the Akarmabhumi's) own maximum Samyama-sthana is infinite times greater. From this, the maximum Samyama-sthana of the Samayika-chhedopasthapana-suddhi-samyata is infinite times greater. From this, the minimum Samyama-sthana of the Sukshmasamparaya-suddhi-samyata is infinite times greater. From this, the maximum Samyama-sthana of the Sukshmasamparaya-suddhi-samyata is infinite times greater. From this, the non-minimum-non-maximum Charitralabdhi-sthana (state of attainment of conduct) of the Veetraga Chadmastha and the Kevali is infinite times greater. [59-66]
Special meaning-There, this doubt can be raised that why the minimum and maximum Charitralabdhi of the Veetraga is not stated? The solution to this is that since the Kasayas (passions) are completely absent, there is no possibility of minimum or maximum in their Charitralabdhi. Therefore, the Charitralabdhi of the Veetraga always remains in one form. If it is said that the fall of the Upasamta-kasaya-veetraga Chadmastha is certainly possible, then why not consider the minimum aspect of his Yathakhyata-charitralabdhi (conduct as per knowledge) at the time of fall? And similarly, why not consider the maximum aspect of Charitralabdhi in the state of ascending the Kshina-kasaya or Kevali? The solution to this is that the cause of the intensity or mildness of the modifications is the rise of Kasayas. The Upasamta-kasaya, Kshina-kasaya and Kevali are completely devoid of Kasayas, therefore, there is no possibility of intensity or mildness in their modifications.
