________________ Verse 144 anasana, reduced diet - avamaudarya, special restrictions while seeking food - vrttiparisamkhyana, giving up stimulating and delicious food - rasaparityaga, lonely habitation - viviktasayyasana, and mortification of the body-kayaklesa. The six kinds of internal (abhyantara) austerities (tapa) are expiation - prayascitta, reverence - vinaya, service - vaiyavittya, study - svadhyaya, renunciation -vyutsarga, and meditation-dhyana. Stoppage (samvara) weakens the power of the karmas. Pure-cognition (suddhopayoga) thrives on external (bahya) as well as internal (abhyantara) austerities (tapa). It constitutes psychic-dissociation (bhava nirjara). Due to the effect of psychic-dissociation (bhava nirjara), dissociation of the previously bound and already weakened material-karmas takes place and that is called material-dissociation (dravya nirjara). Acarya Nemicandra's Dravyasamgraha: जहकालेण तवेण य भुत्तरसं कम्मपुग्गलं जेण / भावेण सडदि णेया तस्सडणं चेदि णिज्जरा दुविहा // 36 // जिस आत्मा के परिणामरूप भाव से कर्मरूपी पुद्गल फल देकर नष्ट होते हैं वह तो भाव-निर्जरा है और सविपाक निर्जरा की अपेक्षा से यथाकाल अर्थात् काल-लब्धिरूप काल से तथा अविपाक निर्जरा की अपेक्षा से तप से, जो कर्मरूप पुद्गलों का नष्ट होना है सो द्रव्य-निर्जरा है। Dispositions of the soul to get rid of the karmic matter already bound with it constitute the subjective shedding of the karmas (bhava nirjara). The actual dissociation of the karmic matter from the soul, either when it falls off by itself on fruition - savipaka, akama - or when it is annihilated through austerities (tapa) - avipaka, sakama - is the objective shedding of the karmas (dravya nirjara). Thus nirjara should be known as of two kinds. . . . . . . . . . . 273
