AVIRAT SAMYAKDRISHTI
(Vowless vision) If a
Jiva discards Mityatva and Anantanubandhi and Mishramoha and attains Samyaktva but if it cannot undertake vows it exists at the fourth stage.
(a) Samyaktva can be attained in 3 ways (1) The Mityatva Karmas should be totally pacified. That means on account of some special power of the auspicious adhyavasaya, for one antharamahurtha it prevents the emergence of these Karmas and during that phase of time it makes Mityatva powerless. This is how the jiva attains the state of Upashamasamyaktva.
(b) The Kshayopashama Samyaktva is attained by a jiva when it scrutinises the mityatva karmas prevents the impure and half pure from emerging and experiences only the pure
ones.

(c) The Kshayiksamyaktva is attained by a jiva when it destroys all pure, half pure, and impure Mithyatva Karma pudgals and all Ananthanubandhi kashayas.
In all the 3 stages, the faith will be in the Jin's words in the Navatatva, the path of salvation, the Arihant deva, the detached munis and the Dharma expounded by the Jins but it would not have taken vows to discard sinful actions like violence; so this is called the vowless samyag drishti.
(5)
DESHVIRATI GUNASTHANAK (The stage of partial renunciation): After attaining samyaktva a man might have had faith to a certain extent like "violence and falsehood etc. are sins to be discarded". Covering that extent he must take vows to discard them. This is called Desha Virathi and it is a gunastanak for the shravaks.
(6)
PRAMATTA GUNASTANAK (Full renunciation): After a man attains vairagya fully and when his spiritual energy surges out he takes vows to discard and renounce completely all sins like violence. Then, he attains the state of Sarvavirathisadhutva yet pramad or negligence has not been discarded; so it is called Pramad.
