On the auspicious day of the Vishva Parva, there was a transition in the nature of karma, the enemies of the Jivas. Their nature was changing, their potency was diminishing, and their qualities were fading. ||240|| Just as a victorious king stirs up the inner nature of his enemies, their ministers and advisors, and then uproots them, so too did the Yogiraj, Lord Vrishabhadeva, through his yogic power, stir up the higher natures of karma and then uprooted them, or caused a transformation in their root natures. ||241|| After that, cultivating the feeling of supreme purity, the Lord, free from negligence, ascended the Bhapka श्रेणी, which is like a ladder to the palace of liberation. ||242|| First, he cultivated the feeling of Adhaḥkaraṇa in the seventh stage of the गुणस्थान, called Apramattasanyata, and then, becoming the eighth stage, called Apūrvakaraṇa, he attained the ninth stage, called Anivṛttikaraṇa. ||243|| There, he held the first white meditation, called Prthaktva Vitaraka, and through its flow, he attained purity, becoming fearless and defeating the entire army of the king of delusion. ||244|| First, he pulverized the eight passions, which are like the bodyguards of the king of delusion, namely, Apraatyakhyanavaraṇa and Pratyakhyanavaraṇa. Then, he destroyed the three types of Vedas, namely, Napumsakaved, Strived, and Purushaved, and the nine Kapāyas, the six warriors like laughter, etc. ||245|| After that, he destroyed the most important and foremost of all, Sanjvalana Krodha (burning anger), and then Mana (pride), Maya (illusion), and Bādaraloba (greedy desire). ||246|| Thus, destroying these enemies of karma, the great warrior, the Lord, with the flag of character waving in the arena of great meditation, armed with the sharp weapon of knowledge, and wearing the armor of compassion, attained the ninth stage of the गुणस्थान, called Anivṛtti, from which there is no turning back.
