DHUYAM: CHHATHAMAM AJJHAYANAM DHUT: SIXTH CHAPTER THE CLEANSED
INTRODUCTION
◆ The name of the sixth chapter is-Dhut Adhyayan or The chapter on 'the cleansed'..
The simple meaning of the word dhut is washed, cleansed, or purified. To shake out dust from a piece of cloth or other such thing and make it dust free is called dravya-dhut or physically cleansed. One who has shaken off eight types of karmas with the help of discipline and meditation is called bhava-dhut or spiritually cleansed.
The theme of this chapter is-an aspirant should know about various root-causes of karmas that are seeds of the tree of mundane life. After this he should cast these off and become absolutely free of karmas (avadhoot or completely cleansed, purified).
In ancient times the word dhut was also in popular use in the Buddhist tradition as it was in the Nirgranth (Jain) tradition. One can find a description of thirteen types of dhut there (Vishuddhi Maggo Me).
✦ In the five lessons of this chapter are described five types of dhut. ✦ First Lesson contains details about Nijak Dhut or abandoning the fondness for kin-folk.
