Niyamasāra
नियमसार
(parigraha): 1) delusion (mithyātva), 2) female-sex-passion (strīveda), 3) male-sex-passion (punveda), 4) neuter-sex-passion (napumsakaveda), 5) laughter (hāsya), 6) liking (rati), 7) disliking (arati), 8) sorrow (śoka), 9) fear (bhaya), 10) disgust (jugupsā), 11-14) the four passions (kaşāya) comprising anger (krodha), pride (māna), deceitfulness (māyā), and greed (lobha).1 Without these fourteen internal possessions, the pure soul is nirāga. Having washed off all dirt due to the sinful karmic matter, and engrossed perpetually in ineffable happiness that is nothing but infinite-knowledge-bliss, the pure soul is without-fault – nirdosa. Experiencing own natural attributes like knowledge, perception, conduct, and happiness, and the knower of the most precious possession, the Pure Self, it is without-delusion - nirmūdha. Or, being the knower, with its infinite, pristine and senseindependent (atīndriya) knowledge-nature, all objects of the three worlds and the three times simultaneously in respect of their substances (dravya), qualities (guņa) and modes (paryāya), it is without-delusion-nirmūụha. Since the powerful enemy army, in form of evil (pāpa) inclination and activity, cannot enter the impregnable fort that is the Pure Self, it is without-fear-nirbhaya. Only such a pure soul is worth accepting.
