Aniyaṭṭhi-bādara-sāmparāiya-pavittha-suddhi-sanjadesu atthi
uvasama khavā -17*
In general, there are upaşamak (invader) and kṣapak (subsider) of karma living beings who realize greater purity.
* The meaning of the term samparaya is passion and the term badara means gross that lead to the conjoined word gross-passions. The living beings associated with gross-passions could be subsiders or destroyers of karma, at this stage some subsiding some species of the deluding karma and destroying some other species in future. This spiritual stage is of karma subsidential and destructional.
Q. Who is called the aniyatthi?
A. The term nivṛtti in here means dissimilarity and the term aniyatth or anivṛtti will mean the opposite of dissimilarity. This means that there exist living beings with anivṛtti kāraṇa (similar volitions) and nivṛtti (dissimilar volitions) existing at the same time and there are only of the living beings existing at different times. Such a living being is called aniyatthi.
Q. Why there are no separate spiritual stages for upaşamak (subsidence) or kşamak (destructional) types?
A. This is because there is similarity with respect to volitions in both the cases. This is explained in the GJ verses 56-57: "The living beings existing at the same time are mutually different with respect to their shapes of body etc. and there is no difference in their volitions. They are called anivṛtti kāraṇa jiva (similar volitioned living beings) They always have similar volitions every instant of time involving infinite-times volitional purity. These living beings are destroyers of the forest of karma through the fiery flames of very pure meditation."
Next verse describes the last spiritual stage of the kuṣeela (conductstained) monks:
Suhuma-sāmparaiya-paviṭṭha-suddhi-sanjadesu atthi uvasamā
khavā - 18
In general, there are karmic subsider and destroyer living beings purified through volitions involving subtle passions.
Q. What is suhuma-sāmparāiya ?
A. The subtle passions are called suhuma-sāmparāiya and there are both upaşamak (subsidence) or kṣamak (destructional) types among them. In this spiritual stage, the living being which destroys, will destroy and has destroyed many of the karmic species has upaşamak bhāva
