દર્શનમોહ વ્યતીત થઈ, ઊપજયો બોધ જે, દેહ ભિન્ન કેવલ ચૈતન્યનું જ્ઞાન જો, તેથી પ્રક્ષીણ ચારિત્રમોહ વિલોક્પિ, વર્તે એવું શુદ્રસ્વરૂપનું ધ્યાન જો,
By eliminating Deluding Perception (DARSHAN MOHANIYA KARMA)
I have realized that soul is pure consciousness
Separate from the body.
This has enabled me to reduce obstacles to right conduct (CHARITRA MOHANIYA KARMA)
Leading me to increasingly
Experience my pure consciousness.

This is the first time Shrimad is making us aware of his spiritual growth. He has developed a firm conviction in the fundamental teachings of JINA (i.e. the soul and body are separate entities and I am the soul, not the body). He has realized his true self (SAMAKIT - 4th Spiritual Stage/ GUNASTHANAKA) by destroying Deluding Perception (DARSHAN MOHANIYA KARMA). This experience has led him to gradually reduce obstacles to right conduct (CHARITRA MOHANIYA KARMA) to a point where he has started concentrating continually on his pure true self.
