(ukkosiya, sa), medium (majjhima, also ajahanna-m-aṇukkosiya or sa) and minimum (jahanna). The possible combinations of these kinds and degrees of arahana are as follows: the maximum degree of nāṇ'ārāhaṇā goes with the maximum or the medium degree of damsaṇ'ā. and caritt'ā., whereas the maximum degree of damsan'ā. and caritt'a. may go with all three degrees of nāņā.; moreover, the maximum degree of damsan'ā. may go with all three degrees of caritt'ā. but the maximum degree of caritt'ā. always goes with the maximum degree of damsan'ā.
He who has reached the maximum degree of one of the three kinds of loyalty will attain liberation in his present life or be reborn in the uppermost heavens (kappałya) or, in the case of nān'ā. and damsan'a., in the lower heavens (kappôvaya). Beings with the medium resp. minimum degree of one of the loyalties will attain liberation in their second or at the latest in their third rebirth (bhava-ggahana) resp. in their third or at the latest in their seventh or eighth rebirth.
The discussion on the possible combinations of the different kinds and degrees of loyalty is in a way illustrative of Jaina psychology.

Thence, probably, asamkhejja loga in V 94 and XXV 23; cf. also XXV 42. As is stated in Lehre par. 58 (with ref. to Thana 251b) this does not refer, as Abhay. wants us to believe, to the exceptional case of the kevalin who at the time of his samugghāya (ib. par. 89) projects his karman-bound soul-atoms as far as the end of the world.
