Due to the sensation of physical and mental suffering, the covering of *Ārama* becomes slightly loosened in the unknown form, and due to this, the amount of its *Anumob* and *Pauryollas* remains somewhat. Then, the purity and tenderness of the results of that developing soul increases somewhat. Due to which, it acquires the ability to break the knot of *Rāga-Dvesha* in some parts. This unprecedented suffering-sensation-generated very slight self-purification is called 'Yathāpravṛttikaraṇa' in the Jain scriptures. When the amount of self-purification and *Pauryollas* increases even more, then the breaking of that knot of *Rāga-Dvesha* is experienced. This self-purification, which is the cause of the breaking of the knot, is called 'Anapūrvakaraṇa'.

This is called 'Athāpravṛttikaraṇa' in the Digambara sect. For this, see the 13th *Rājvātik* of the 1st sūtra of the 6th chapter of *Tattvārtha*.
