(८) भक्त - पान का क्रम-क्रम से त्याग करते हुए समाधिपूर्वक प्राण त्याग को भक्तप्रत्याख्यानमरण
कहते हैं । इस मरण को अंगीकार करने वाला साधक स्वयं उठ बैठ सकता है, दूसरों के द्वारा उठायेबैठाये जाने पर उठता- बैठता है और दूसरों के द्वारा की गई वैयावृत्त्य को भी स्वीकार करता है। (९) मरण - स्थान से मृत शरीर को बाहर ले जाना निर्धारिम है। अनिर्धारिम का अर्थ है-मरण-स्थान
पर ही मृत शरीर को छोड़ देना। जब बस्ती आदि में समाधिमरण होता है, तब शव को बाहर ले जाकर 5
छोड़ा जा सकता है, या दाह-क्रिया की जा सकती है । किन्तु जब गिरि - कन्दरादि प्रदेश में मरण होता है, तब शव बाहर नहीं ले जाया जाता।

Elaboration-Death is of two kinds-aprashast maran (ignoble death) and prashast maran (noble death). Death in agitated state of mind due
卐
to passions is ignoble death and that in an equanimous state of mind 45 free of passions is noble death. There are various kinds of ignoble death including valan maran explained as follows
(1) Valan maran-to die after abandoning ascetic-discipline in a disturbed state of mind due to pain caused by afflictions. Vashart maranto die after succumbing to indulgence in mundane sensual pleasures.
(2) Nidan maran-to die with a desire for wealth and mundane pleasures. Tadbhav maran-to die with a desire to be reborn in the same genus.
(3) Giripatan maran-to die by falling from a hill. Tarupat maranto die by falling from a tree.
(4) Jalapravesh maran-to die by drowning in deep water or a river. Agnipravesh maran-to die by jumping in flames.
(5) Vishabhakshan maran-to die by consuming poison. Shastravapatan maran-to die as a consequence of being hit by a weapon. (6) Vaihayas maran-to hang oneself to death. Griddhasprisht maran-to die by entering the carcass of a large animal. This results in vultures and other carrion eaters tearing apart and consuming the body of the deceased along with the carcass of the large animal.
(7) Prayopaga maran is when an aspirant after assessing his strength lies down on a bed motionless like an uprooted tree and does not change his posture till death. An ascetic who chooses such death neither cares for his body himself nor does he accept service from others. That is why this type of death is called apratikarma or devoid of physical activity. Bhaktapratyakhyan, on the other hand, is sapratikarma or with physical activity.
