This is a text from a Jain scripture, likely discussing the concept of "Upashamani" and "Kshapakani". Here's a translation:
**The text deals with the "Karma Granth" (text on Karma). Therefore, it is necessary to explain the nature of "Upashamani" and "Kshapakani". This first explains the nature of "Upashamani".**
**"Padmaphasaayachama, Vasatig, Sasaga, Visato, Upasanta, Avirat Sammatta, Aav Niyatthi, Naaycha." (Verse 62)**
**Word Meaning:**
* **Padmaphasaayachama:** The four "Kshaya" (passions) - Anantanubandhi Kshaya Chatushk.
* **Vasatig:** The three "Darshanmohaniya" (obscurations of perception).
* **Sasaga Visato:** The seven "Prakriti" (natures).
* **Upasanta:** Subdued, pacified.
* **Avirat Sammatta:** The state of "Avirat Samyagdristi" (uninterrupted right faith) - from the "Gunasthan" (spiritual stages) of "Avirat Samyagdristi" to "Apuvrakaran".
* **Aav Niyatthi:** The "Gunasthan" of "Apuvrakaran".
* **Naaycha:** One should know.
**Meaning of the Verse:**
One should know that the four "Kshaya" (passions) - Anantanubandhi Kshaya Chatushk, and the three "Darshanmohaniya" (obscurations of perception), these seven "Prakriti" (natures) are systematically pacified from the "Gunasthan" (spiritual stages) of "Avirat Samyagdristi" to "Apuvrakaran".
**Special Note:**
This verse explains the beginning of "Upashamani" by stating how it starts.
**Explanation:**
There are two categories for making the power of "Karma" inactive: "Upashamani" and "Kshapakani". The main goal of both categories is to make "Mohaniya Karma" (obscuring karma) inactive. In "Upashamani", the soul pacifies "Charitra Mohaniya Karma" (obscuring karma related to conduct), while in "Kshapakani", the soul destroys "Charitra Mohaniya Karma" and other karmas as much as possible. When the soul attains "Upashamani", it first pacifies the four "Anantanubandhi Kshaya" (passions), and then pacifies the three "Darshanmohaniya" (obscurations of perception), becoming eligible for "Upashamani". The pacification of these seven "Prakriti" (natures) begins in one of the "Gunasthan" (spiritual stages) of "Avirat Samyagdristi", "Deshavirat", "Pramattasanyat", "Aparamattasanyat", and "Apuvrakaran".
