Notes
Both sects have four subgroups: the Digambaras have 1) Terahpanthi, 2) Sthānakvāsi, 3) Derāsari and 4) Rājchandra; the Śvetambaras have 1) Terahpanthi, 2) Beespanthi, 3) Tāvan Tami, 4) Kānjipanthi. 2 Jainism however teaches that there are those who fundamentally and by nature deviate from their path of being proper humans. Such souls are called abhavya. They are unable to ever become jinas or siddhas - liberated beings. They are compared to seeds which never receive water and therefore never sprout. Such souls can never attain to rest and/or allow others to be at ease. A curse rests on them which no one would wish to have, but which they have earned for themselves by a karma called abhavyatva.”
Avasarpinī and utsarpinī respectively, literally descending and ascending serpent. 4 The six phases are respectively called sukha-sukha -meaning "joy-joy”; joy; joy-misery, misery-joy; misery; and miserymisery (dukkha-dukkha).
