INTRODUCTION
Samvera, or the stoppage of Karmic Influ. The causes of Samvare are Gapti, Samiti, Dharma, Anuprekşi, Parişaba-jaya and excellent Caritra, Gapti means control of wind, speech and body; Samiti is carefulness or absence of negligence; Dharma is characterised by compassion; Anuprekçã consists in reflecting on the principles; Parişaha-jaya means ungrudgingly putting up with various troubles like hunger etc.; and the best conduct or discipline is self-meditation, free from all attachment and aversion. One who abstains from pleasures of senses and guards oneself fully against all teinptations stops tbe Karric influx and curtails the journey in this miserable Sam. nära (95101 ).
IX Nirjarānuprekşi Eradication of Karups is possible through the practice of twelve-fold penance without any rernunerative henkering (nidans ) for one who is not vain, who is detached and who is endowed with knowledge. The varions Karmas come into operation, give their fruit and then drop out: that is Nirjarā or shedding of the Karms. It is of two kinds : Karmas fall off, after being ripe or mature, according to the schedule; and they can be made to fall off Prematurely by tho practice of penances. The former is normal in all the gradeg of life, while the latter belongs to those who undertake religious practices. In the case of monks, this Nirjară increases more and more along the steps of the ladder of Gunesthānas, as one progresses in spiritual quiet and penances, especially by two-fold meditation, Dharma and Sakla-dhyána. Plenty of Karmu is eradioated by putting up with abuseg, illtreatment and various troubles, by subjugating the senses and passions, by realizing one's defects and appreciating virtues of others, and by repeatedly concentrating oneself on one's Atman which is a pure and eternal embodiment of Faith, Knowledge and Conduct. Thus alone lifo becomes fruitful, merits increase, and the highest happiness is attained ( 102-114).
X Lokánuprekşi
Tue Loka or universe (of which the dimensions are specified), which is constituted by the inter-a0colomodation of various substances, is 8 right in the centre of infinite space; it is neither created by anybody nor supported by Hari, Hara etc.; it is eternal because the constituent substances are eternal; and it is subject to changos due to vonstituent substances under going modifioations at every moment. It has three regions: Lower, Central and Higher. It is called Loka because various existential entities are seen in it; and at the summit of it thore dwell Siddhas or liberated souls in
