________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha अन्वयार्थ - [यः संवरेण युक्तः] जो संवर से युक्त है ऐसा (केवलज्ञान प्राप्त) जीव [ निर्जरयन् अथ सर्वकर्माणि ] सर्व-कर्मों की निर्जरा करता हुआ [व्यपगतवेद्यायुष्कः] वेदनीय और आयु रहित होकर [भवं मुश्चति ] भव al (71406f Bit TT06Hf ) geal, [] FHICH [ A: HTAT:] वह मोक्ष है। The soul (jiva), equipped with the stoppage (samvara), sheds all karmas. It sheds the feeling-producing (vedaniya) and the life-determining (ayuh) karmas and then frees itself from transmigration (samsara, bhava) [by shedding the physique-making (nama) and the statusdetermining (gotra) karmas). This is the attainment of liberation (moksa). EXPLANATORY NOTE The soul (jiva) in the state of psychic-liberation (bhava-moksa) is equipped with supreme stoppage (samvara) and as such there is the absence of the cause of bondage. Due to the supreme meditation (dhyana) of such a soul, the shedding (nirjara) of the still-remaining, non-destructive (aghati) karmas - feeling-producing (vedaniya), lifedetermining (ayuh), physique-making (nama) and status-determining (gotra)- takes place. The "Tattvarthasutra', sutra 9-29, mentions that the last two kinds of meditation - the virtuous (dharmya) and the pure (sukla) - are the causes of liberation. Sutra 9-37, mentions that the first two types of pure meditation -sukladhyana - are attained by the saints who know the Scripture - purvavid or srutakevali. Sutra 9-38, mentions that the last two types of pure meditation - sukladhyana - arise in the Omniscient (kevali). Acarya Pujyapada in 'Sarvarthasiddhi' (p. 360-361) explains how the Omniscient (kevali) embraces the last two types of pure meditation - 290
