**[16]**
The six-fold aghatiya karma, excluding the ayukarma, are the name, gotra, and vedaniya karma. These three karma, with their infinite number of particles, are gradually destroyed by the soul in each moment of time, while it continues to wander in the world for the duration of its life, preaching dharma to all beings. The minimum duration of this gunasthan is an antarmukhurta, and the maximum duration is less than one purva-koti years, but more than eight years and an antarmukhurta.
**[14] A-yogik-kevali Gunasthan:** When the above-mentioned sayogik-kevali jinas have only an antarmukhurta of life remaining, they enter this gunasthan by becoming a-yogik-kevali, having abandoned yoga. Due to the absence of yoga, their kariv is completely absent, and therefore they are completely free from new karma-bandha. They are also on the verge of the destruction of all existing karma. They become masters of the eighteen thousand types of sheel, and they also attain the fullness of eighty-four lakh uttar gunas. Due to the absence of yoga, their atma-pradeshas become completely still, and they attain a state of stillness, stability, and peace, like a mountain (shail). The duration of this gunasthan is only a small antarmukhurta, the time it takes to pronounce the five short vowels: a, i, u, ri, and l. When two moments of time remain in this gunasthan, these a-yogik-kevali jinas destroy, simultaneously, seventy-two types of vedaniya karma, in both their prakritis, through anudaya: devagati, five bodies, five sanghatas, five bandhas, six sansthans, three ango-pangas, six sanhananas, five varna, two gandhas, five rasas, eight sparshas, devagati-anupurvi, aguru-laghu, upghat, parvat, uchchhas, prashasta-vihayogati, aprashasta-vihayogati, aparyapt, pratyek-sharira, sthira, asthira, shubha, ashubha, durbhaga, duhsvara, susvara, anadeya, ayasha-kirti, nirman, and nich-gotra. Then, in the final moment, they destroy thirteen types of vedaniya karma through udaya: manushya-ayu, manushya-gati, panchendriya-jati, manushya-gati-anupurvi, tras, badar, paryapt, subhaga, adeya, yasha-kirti, uchch-gotra, and if the soul is of tirthankara prakriti, then it also destroys the prakriti of tirthankara. After destroying these thirteen types of vedaniya karma, they leave their present body, become free from all karma, and attain nirvana, becoming a siddha parmatma and residing in the siddhalaya, forever free from the cycle of birth and death.
Through these fourteen gunasthans, the samsari atma removes the coverings of raga, dvesha, moha, and other emotions, develops itself, and becomes a parmatma.
**Marganasthan:** The word marganasthan means "to search" (stroj). Therefore, the places where jivas are searched for, through naraka, etc., and through special dharmas like jnana, etc., are called marganasthans. There are fourteen marganasthans: 1) Gati, 2) Indriya, ...
