निद्राप्रचले नष्टे सति आयुषि उपशमयन्ति उपशमकाः। क्षपकं दौकमानाः क्षपका नियमेन क्षपयन्ति मोहं तु ।। ५५ ॥
55 Having acquired freedom from bondage (vyuchhitti) of the Karmic matter of sleep and drowsiness (Nidra and Prachalā) and the age-karma still existing, (the souls in new-thought-activity), (Apúrva Karana) bring about the subsidence of right-conduct-deluding Karma (Moha) (and are therefore called) subsidentials (Upashamaka), but those (who) go up the destructive ladder necessarily destroy the right-conduct-deluding Karma (and are therefore called) Destructive (Kshapaka,) and (the age Karma always exists in this ascent on the destructive laider, (Kshapaka Shrení). एकाझ कालसमये संठाणादीहिं जह णिवट्ठति । ण णिवट्ठति तहावि य परिणामेहिं मिहो जेहिं ॥ ५६ ॥ एकस्मिन् कालसमये संस्थानादिभिर्यथा निवर्तन्ते । न निवर्तन्ने तथापि च परिणामैमिथो यैः॥५६॥ होति प्रणियहिणो ते पडिसमयं जेस्सिमेक्कपरिणामा। विमलयर झाण हुयवह सिहाहि णिद्दड्ढ कम्मवणा ॥ ५७॥
भवन्ति अनिवर्तिनस्ते प्रतिसमयं येषामेकपरिणामा। विलतरध्यानहुतवहशिखाभिर्निर्दग्धकर्मबनाः॥ ५७ ॥ युग्मम्
56-57. In one and the same instant though (the souls) differ from each other in figure, etc., yet their thoughts which do not differ are (called the Thoughts) of advanced thought-activity (Anivritti Karana). In these, only one thought-activity arises in each instant. (These thoughts), by the flames of the fire of very pure concentration are the consumers of the forest of Karmas.
Commentary. The number of thoughts in this stage is equal to the number of instants 'Samayas' in its duration. The advance in purity and generally, in this stage is perfectly uniform. Later souls can neither exceed nor come to the level of the prior souls.
