its roaming in different species and facing and experiencing different sorts of troubles, comes to such a condition that effects on it are the most slight and somewhat secret and unknown. Due to these effects he is able to expand the period of all the seven Karmas excepting Ayu karma (life time) to less then crores of Sagaropama ( a period of time crores of times bigger than Palyopuma) by a slighest portion of Palyopama ( another period of time ). This is called Yatta Pravaritti Karana ( shaping according to one's own inclination ). When the soul achieves this it develops further and is now ready to break the hard knot of love and hatred. The stronger among such souls proceed further. The very pure thoughts and effects at this moment are taken to be at TU (experiencing effects never experienced before.) When the soul achieves " Apurva Karan" it is a bit strengthened and the power of Mithyatwa gets weakened. Thus it becomes a little more pure. This increased purity is called Ativeritti Karana. When this stage is reached it gets the power of equanimity. But when the soul does not completely annihilate the Mithyatva groups but only subdues them. the equanimity that he gets is called Aupshamik Samyaktwa, Equanimity gained after partial subjugation of Mithyatwa. ) This euanimity does not last long. The partially subjugated Mithyatwa groups raise their heads, after an Antarmuhurta ( priod equal to 24 minutes ) and destroy the equanimity. Just as a man, who has slipped from a mountain and has not yet reached the earth, can not be called as either on the mountain or on the earth, likewise the soul that has slipped from equanimity but has not yet reached the lower stage of Mithyatwa is called Saswadan or Saswadan Samy
