## The Adipurana

**Chapter 276**

**The Fourteen Stages of the Kulacaryā**

**72.** The performance of the six actions, namely, proper worship of the gods, etc., with complete dedication, is called Kulacaryā.

**The Fifteen Stages of the Diksha-Anvaya**

**73-74.** The Śrāvaka, purified by the above-mentioned conduct, attains the stage of Gṛhīśitā. He who is capable of benefiting others through his perfect conduct and the wealth of knowledge acquired through study, who knows the rules of atonement, and who is well-versed in the Śruti, Smṛti, and Purāṇa, attains the position of a Gṛhasthācārya and thus assumes the stage of Gṛhīśitā.

**75.** This Gṛhīśitā is the fifteenth stage. Thereafter, the same state of tranquility as before is considered to be the stage of Praśāntatā for the Bhavyā who has attained various types of fasts and other practices.

**76.** This Praśāntatā is the sixteenth stage. Then, when he renounces his household life and, after properly instructing his son in accordance with Dharma, leaves his home, he undergoes the stage of Gṛhatyāga.

**77.** This Gṛhatyāga is the seventeenth stage. After leaving his home and entering the Tapovana, the wearing of a single garment is considered the stage of Dīkṣādyā.

**78.** This Dīkṣādyā is the eighteenth stage. Then, when he abandons his household garments and, with proper conduct, adopts the Digambara form from a worthy Muni, he is said to have attained the stage of Jinarūpatā.

**79.** This Jinarūpatā is the nineteenth stage. The remaining stages are to be explained in the same way as the stages of Garbhānvaya. There is no difference between them.

**80.** The Bhavyā who, knowing these stages, practices them, attains Nirvāṇa very soon, becoming subject to happiness. Thus ends the description of the stages of Diksha-Anvaya.
