________________ Verse 34 cut off or interrupted. This is material stoppage (dravya samvara). Jain, S.A., Reality, p. 238. Ācārya Kundkund's Pañcāstikāya-Sāra इंदियकसायसण्णा णिग्गहिदा जेहिं सुट्ठमग्गम्मि । जावत्तावत्तेहिं पिहियं पावासवच्छिदं ॥ (141) To whatever extent the five senses, the four taints of emotions, the four instinctive appetites, are suppressed by a person, well established in the path of righteousness, to such extent the doorway for the entrance of evil is closed for that person. Commentary - The volitional suppression of the above mentioned psychic tendencies is Bhāva Samvara or the subjective inhibition of the evil. This condition is the antecedent of the physical arrest of the inflow of the karmic matter which is Dravya Samvara. This Samvara or the inhibition of the springs of evil is possible only to that person who has the three jewels or Ratnatraya, right belief, right knowledge and right conduct. One who has not adopted the path cannot succeed in the attempt to block the spring of evil. जस्स ण विज्जदि रागो दोसो मोहो व सव्वदव्वेसु । णासवदि सुहं असुहं समसुहदुक्खस्स भिक्खुस्स ॥ (142) If a Bhikṣu looks upon happiness and misery as same, if he is free from desire, aversion, and stupor of perception and will, then karmas, both beneficial and harmful, do not approach that being Commentary - There are three fundamental states of consciousness, śubha pariņāma, aśubha pariņāma, śudha 121
