________________ 114 The factors of the person's state who is in this fifth stage are, therefore : (a) partial self-control and (b) samyaktva. The person in this stage is not able to practise complete self control. For instance, he can practise the principle of non-killing in only a partial way. There is only one class of persons in this stage; they all know the value of self control, they all make the effort to practise it, and they practise it in part. In this stage there are 39 out of the 57 causes operative. The following are the 18 inoperative causes : 5 Mithyātvas 4 Anantānubandhis The apratyākhyāni (four of them, see below.) Avirati regarding moving living beings The āhāraka yoga The audārika mishra yoga The āhāraka mishra The kārmana yoga. that makes 18 inoperative causes. The apratyākhyāni are the anger, pride, deceitfulness and greed in the degree next above the anantānubandhis, and by reason of the presence or activity of them you are not able to take certain particular vows not to do certain things.
