NIRJARA OR DISSIPATIO.V. their effects completely neutralized so much so that they would fall away from the constitution of the jiva is called Nirjara.
The Jain sages have classified this Nirjara into two kinds viz; (i) A kama Nirjara & (ii) Sakáma Nirjaru.
To deal with Akama Nirjara, karmapudgals while standing in some relation with the soul assume various phases through successive processes of tansition according to laws inhent in them. This is the reason why the sages have come to another kind of classification of the karma-barganas by the names of (1) Satta, (2) Bandha (3) Udaya and (4) Udirna. (1) By satta karma-The sages mean the
karma-bargands which getting in to the constitution of the jiva remain there merged as it were in the soul. Satta-karma corresponds to the Sanchita-karma of the Hindus : The whole man that still remains behind the man not yet worked out--the entire unpaid balance of the debit and credit account.
