sarvarthasiddha' demigods. Thence he is again born in the mortal human world, and then only he has the chance of attaining salvation,
12th GUNA-STHÃNA. (Ashina-moha-guna-sthāna).
As the very name shows, one is said to be in this stage of development, when his mohapiya karma' is 'Kshina' or totally destroyed in all its forms.
Here it is that a person, having quite freed himself from the grasp or the influerce of 'raga', 'dvesha', and all the fornis of the 'mohaniya karma', gets the appellation of Vita-raga'.
His thoughts and reflections having become guileless and purified to the highest degree, he knows no difference or distinction, but sameness or identity. In him there is absence of conjectures and speculations.
At the end of this 'guna-sthāna', 'Dnānāvaraniya karma' in all its five forms, 'Darsha nāvaraniya karma' with its six remaining forms, together with 'antarāya karma' also in its five forms, have their very existence terminated, They are uprooted (from their very root) never to rise. They leave behind no seed or trace or mark for a fresh birth or growth.
