**Verse 4.35**
**Verse Meaning - Upshama श्रेणी**
A being who experiences subtle greed at this moment is associated with subtle Saṃpārāya. However, this restraint is slightly less than the well-known restraint. ||474||
**Special Meaning -** A Sadhu who practices Saṃyāyika and Chhedopasthāpana restraint, when they become extremely subtle in their Kṣayās, meaning they experience the arising of subtle greed, they have subtle Saṃpārāya. This restraint is slightly less than the well-known restraint because there is still the arising of extremely subtle greed, they are not completely free from Kṣayās. The well-known restraint belongs to beings who are free from Kṣayās.
Those who are completely vigilant in avoiding the killing of subtle and gross beings, who are extremely enthusiastic without any obstacles, who have unblemished character, who are cleansed by the great banners of Right Faith and Right Knowledge, who have burned the fuel of delusion karma with the flames of the vast fire of Shrāddha-Vāsaya, who have carefully uprooted the poisonous sprouts of Kṣayās, who have pushed the seeds of subtle delusion karma into the mouth of destruction, those Sadhus who have subtle greed Kṣayās have subtle Saṃpārāya character. This restraint (character), even when it is in the form of restraint of tendencies or Right tendencies, is beyond secret and confidential. This happens in the tenth Gunasthāna, where only subtle greed flickers. Therefore, it is separately specified.
The mention of this subtle Saṃpārāya is also found in the special meaning of verses 667-668.
**The nature of the well-known restraint**

**Special Meaning -** Those who practice in accordance with the teachings of the Paramāgama, meaning they practice in accordance with the influence of Kṣayās, are called well-known restraint practitioners. Those who have pacified Kṣayās and those who have weakened Kṣayās, meaning those who are in the eleventh and twelfth Gunasthānas, are Chhamastha, Vītarāga, or Chhadmastha. The Sayogakevalī, who is in the thirteenth Gunasthāna, and the Prayogakevalī, who is in the fourteenth Gunasthāna, are Jinas. In all these four Gunasthānas, due to the influence of Kṣayās, the well-known restraint, which is characterized by the natural state of the self, occurs.
The well-known restraint is the ultimate indifference that results from the complete pacification or destruction of character-delusion, which is the state of the self-nature. The Sadhus who practiced the previous restraint have spoken and understood it, but...
