Trasakaya, Bhavyatva, Sanjini, Yathakyathcharitra, Kshayiksamyaktva, Anaharak, Kevaljnan, Kevaldarshan etc. not through the others. At the time of the Shaileshis, yoga and ved do not come up.

If so the interval has to be reckoned with because chyavan will not be less for siddhas; therefore Antar, interval is absent. For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
