THE PATH OF NIRVANA OR LIBERATION

निरोधनिस्सितं, वोस्सग्गपरिणाम-अस्स भिक्कवे अभावयतो उप्पजेय्युं आसवा विघातपरिलाहा भावयतो न होंति इमें आसवा भावनापहातव्वा."
“Katame cîsava bhavan i pahâ tâ vvâ :- Bhikkhu pati sankhả yoniso (1) sati sainbojjhangam bhâveti (2) dhamıma richa ya sainbojjhangam bhî veti (3) virya sambojjhangam bhíveti (4) piti sambojjhangam bhâveti, (5) passaddhi sambojjhangam bhåreti (6) samadhi sainbojjhangam bhâ veti, upekhô sambojjhangam bhâveti, viveka nissitam viraga nissitam nirodha nissitam vassagga pariņamim-assa bhikkave abhâ vayato uppajjeyyum (îsava vigh-itó paritaha bhava yato-na honti-Ime asa vâ bhavana pahâ tavvâ.”
“What asavas should be removed by meditation :--
The Monk ineditates upon (1) the recollection of true knowledge (2) upon thoughts of Dharma or piety (3) upon energy (4) upon love (5) upon peacefulness (6) upon equanimity or concentration (7) and upon non-attachment-with discrimination, with, passionlessness, with restraint and with determination of renunciation. Then those harmful asávâs which would have been caused by their non-meditation do not happen by their meditation. Thus asavas should be removed by meditation.
Note.—The twelve meditations already described according to the Jain Scriptures for restraint of inflow of passions do very correctly include the above stated seven meditations
