The Digambaras do not recognize the version of the Svetambaras. The differences are small, but subtle, according to the Digambaras. 45 kashaya 46 mithyātva 47 avirati pramāda 49 yoga. “Yoga” in Jainism has an entirely different meaning from the Hindu (and western) meaning of the word. It is the name of the faculty of the soul itself to attract matter, under the influence of past karmas. The activities of body, mind and speech bring this faculty into play (TDS comm. 124). 50 kārmāna-śarīra 51 taijasa-śarīra 52 See note 35.
