## Chapter 436: The Sevenfold Emanation
**The Emanation of the Perfect Jina**
The emanation of the soul-regions from the body without abandoning the physical body is called **Samudghāt**. This emanation is of seven types: **Vedanasamudghāt**, **Kṣayāsamudghāt**, **Māraṇāntika Samudghāt**, **Tejasasamudghāt**, **Vakriya Samudghāt**, **Āhārakasamudghāt**, and **Kevalisamudghāt**.
Here are the brief characteristics of these seven types:
* **Vedanasamudghāt** is the emanation caused by intense pain.
* **Kṣayāsamudghāt** is the emanation caused by passions like anger.
* **Māraṇāntika Samudghāt** is the emanation that occurs before death.
* **Tejasasamudghāt** is the emanation that occurs for the creation of the **Tejas** body, which is capable of benefiting or destroying beings.
* **Vakriya Samudghāt** is the emanation that occurs for the creation of the **Vakriya** body.
* **Āhārakasamudghāt** is the emanation that occurs for the creation of the **Āhārak** body.
* **Kevalisamudghāt** is the emanation that occurs for the **Kevalajnani** (Perfect Knower) to equalize the state of the three non-destructive karmas (**Vedaniya**, **Āyaka**, and **Āyus** karmas) with the state of the **Āyaka** karma.
**Kevalisamudghāt** has eight stages:
* In the first stage, the soul-regions are spread out to the limits of the upper and lower realms, as large as the **Rava** body. This is called **Daṇḍasamudghāt**.
* In the second stage, the soul-regions are spread out in the east and west or south and north directions, like a **Kapāta** (door).
* In the third stage, the soul-regions are spread out in all eight directions, like a **Mathani** (churning stick).
