There are 11 types of **Parigishta Desha Chirat** (long-lasting karmic matter) mentioned in Digambara literature (Go. Jeevakanda, verse 476). These are: (1) **Darshan** (perception), (2) **Vrat** (vow), (3) **Samayik** (meditation), (4) **Proshad** (purification), (5) **Sachitta Virati** (cessation of mental activity), (6) **Ratribhojan Virati** (cessation of night-time meals), (7) **Brahmacharya** (celibacy), (8) **Aarambha Virati** (cessation of initiation), (9) **Parigraha Virati** (cessation of possessions), (10) **Anumati Virati** (cessation of permission), (11) **Uddishta Virati** (cessation of intention). The term "Proshad" is used here instead of "Poushad" which is prevalent in the Svetambara sect.
Svetambara and Digambara **karmagranthakars** (authors of karma texts) have considered the **bandhyogya prakritis** (karmic substances capable of binding) to be the same in the **gunasthanas** (stages of spiritual progress). However, Digambara texts (Go. Karmakanda) mention 56 **prakritis** (karmic substances) in the seventh **gunasthan** - **Aprammatta Virata gunasthan** (stage of perfect non-attachment), while Svetambara karmagranthakars mention 58 or 56 **prakritis** for binding. This difference is explained by stating that those souls who begin the binding of **devaayu** (karmic matter related to the senses) in the sixth **gunasthan** and attain the seventh **gunasthan** without ending the binding in the sixth **gunasthan**, have 56 **prakritis** capable of binding. On the other hand, those souls who begin and end the binding of **devaayu** in the sixth **gunasthan** have 58 **prakritis** capable of binding. (See the explanation of **Vishesh Ma. 7, 8**).
Svetambara and Digambara karmagranths consider the **uday** (emergence) and **udirana** (activation) of **prakritis** in the **gunasthanas** to be the same. However, this similarity is found according to the opinion of **Bhutbali Acharya** as mentioned in the Digambara text Go. Karmakanda, verse 264. In the same text (verse 263), the opinion of **Yativrishabha Acharya** is mentioned, which differs in some aspects. **Yativrishabha Acharya** believes in the emergence of 112 **prakritis** in the first **gunasthan** and 13 **prakritis** in the fourteenth **gunasthan**. The karmagranth mentions the emergence of 117 **prakritis** in the first **gunasthan** and 12 **prakritis** in the fourteenth **gunasthan**.
