________________ 52 OUTLINES OF JAINISM 11. Upaśānta-mohu A thought (bhāva), or psychical condition, which is produced by the suppression of the entire conductinfatuating karmas. This is also the first pure contemplation. From this a saint falls. 12. Kshīņa-moha In this stage the entire conduct-infatuating karmas are annihilated, and the psychical condition produced belongs to the second pure (or white) contemplation. The saint attains this directly after the tenth stage, without passing through the eleventh. 13. Sayoga-kevalin Before commencing this stage the soul must have destroyed the three remaining destructive karmasknowledge-obscuring, faith-obscuring or perceptionobscuring, and the hindering or obstructive karmas. Here, the soul becomes arhat, or perfect soul in human body, vibrating with the fast approaching glories of moksha. 14. Ayoga-kevalin This is attained when there is before the sayogakevalin's death just enough time to speak out the five letters a, i, u, ri, lri. In this stage-a very brief one indeed—the vibrations of the holy body cease. XV. THE THREE JEWELS (65–7) These are: (1) samyag-darśana, right conviction, faith and perception combined; (2) samyag-jñāna, right knowledge; (3) samyak-charitra, right conduct.
