________________ 84 (vii) Self-control without negligence-Apramattasaṁyata. (viii) Practice of the process called Apurvakaraṇa--with passions. still in gross form. Essence of Jainism (ix) Anivṛttabadora-with passions still occurring. (x) Sükṣmaparyaya--passions still occurring in subtle form. (xi) Upasantamoha-calming down of all passions and yet the Atma not being Sarvajña. (xii) Kṣinamaha--one who has annihilated all passions but yet does not possess omniscience. (xiii) Omniscience with activity--Sayogikevali. (xiv) One who is Siddha--Avogakevali. (1) The stage in which, due to the excessive power of Darsanamohaniya, the quality of Samyaktva is enveloped. and, as a result, the liking of the Atma regarding the reality is not enabled to be revealed, and whereby the vision is false, i.e., opposite of truth, it is the state of false vision--Mithya dṛṣṭi. (2) Sasvadana is the stage that remains only for a very short time when one falls from the elevated place of quality and comes to the first. This state is designated Sasvadana because the Atma has just a little taste of the liking of reality though it is on the path of downfall. This second stage can be attributed only to the Atma on way to downfall. (3) A stage in which the Atma is in a movement to and fro, like the man on a swing, and is not able either to have a perfect vision of reality, or to be in a state of completely false vision, i.e., it is in a state of doubts, is the state designated Samyakmithya dṛṣṭi. In this Gunasthana, the poison of darśanamohani ya is not as acute as in the first, but it is there. (4) We have then the Aviratasamyak dṛṣṭi. It is the stage in which the force of darsanamohaniya has got subsided or has gone rare, or has gone totally weak, because of which the Atma is enabled to have a clear vision of truth. It is designated constant-avirata--because there is greater dominance of Caritramohaniya, and, as a result, the spirit of renunciation does not arise, Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
