________________ kshapaka shrenii. It is imperative to possess the first type of shanghayana {extremely sturdy type of physique) and some other attributes. Also, one needs to be at least in the 4th gunasthaanaka to take the kshapaka shrenii. A soul in the 1st gunasthaanaka who has had mithyaatva since beginningless time, can attain upashama samyakatva or, according to another opinion, kshayopashama samyaktva. But he can never attain kshaayika samyaktva directly. In exceptional cases, it has been observed that a soul in its last birth, at the last possible time, emerges from beginningless mithyaatva attains Upashama samyaktva by suppressing the mithyaatva followed by the kshaayopashamika samyaktva and then attains kshaayika samyaktva and ascends on kshapaka shrenii, annihilates all remaining 21 types of chaaritra mohaniiya karmas, annihilates the remaining three ghaati karmas, and at the end of its life span, annihilates the remaining four aghaati karmas to attain liberation. It is possible that all this can take place within an antaramuhuurta {within 48 minutes) The point being made here is that of the three types of samyaktva, kshaayika samyaktva can only be attained through the kshapaka shrenii. And one cannot take the kshapaka shrenii in the absence of kshaayopashamika samyaktva. Kshaayopashamika samyaktva is attained and lost many times in each birth. But once samyaktva has been attained by a soul, it is certain to reattain kshaayopashamika samyaktva, take the kshapaka shrenii, attain kshaayika samyaktva and attain liberation within the duration of an ardha-pudgalaparaavartana- kaala (the time it takes for a soul to take in and use up half the available karmic matter in the universe). Other than the above three categories, there are two more types of samyaktva. They are known as: 4. Vedaka Samyaktva {enlightened perception attained just before the complete annihilation of deluding karmas} Vedaka samyaktva is attained when the seeker is experiencing the last vestiges of samyaktva mohaniiya karmas while on his way to attaining kshaayika samyaktva. It is categorised in three ways: (1). kshaayika vedaka samyaktva - is achieved when there is annihilation of mithyaatva mohaniiya, mishra mohaniiya, anantaanubandhi krodha, anantaanubandhi maana, anantaanubandhi maayaa and anantaanubandhi lobha and the fruition (uday) of samyaktva mohaniiya karmas. (2). upashama vedaka samyaktva - is achieved when there is suppression of mithyaatva mohaniiya, mishra mohaniiya, anantaanubandhi krodha, anantaanubandhi maana, anantaanubandhi maayaa and anantaanubandhi lobha and the fruition (uday) of samyaktva mohaniiya karmas. 175
