APPENDIX,
verse 49, Dravya-samgraha is laid down in connection with this kind of contemplation.
"Rûpastha Dhyana is contemplating the Lord Jina, sitting on a throne of jewel in the assembly of men who are desirous of salvation, surrounded by the twelve Gañadharas and the eight doorkeepers, possessing infinite greatness, a store of infinite, virtues, of a celestial body, shining more brilliantly than a Koti of suns, fanned by excellent chowries, attended on by the gods, free from the eighteen blemishes, endowed with all the excellences and expounding the Dharma.
Rûpâtîta Dhyana consists in contemplating the highest form of one's own soul, as immaterial, a store of virtues, and resembling the Siddhas between whom and himself there is no specific difference."
