________________ 158 OUTLINES OF JAINA PHILOSOPHY of passions. Thereupon follows the annihilation of the third and female sex-passions, of joking, liking, disliking, sorrow, fear, disgust, male sex-passion, and of sanjala na anger, pride, and deceit. After this, he leaves the ninth stage (anivetti gunasthāna), and sinks into the tenth stage (sūksma samparāya gunasthāna), where he successively annihilates the sañjralana greed, divided into pieces. As soon as the last piece of greed disappears, all passions are destroyed and the highest stage of the series is reached. The jīva is now, a kșiņa kaṣāya (12th stage). Then he annihilates the two kinds of sleep ( nidrā and pracalā), thereupon the five veilings of knowledge, the four veilings of intuition, and the five species of power-hindering karma. Then he becomes a sayogi kevalin ( 13th stage ) who still wanders for some time on the earth and thereafter attains salvation. 1 This process is for man, for woman and third sex--the same change as in the pasama śrun. 2 Karma-grantha, V, 99.
