________________ Tattvärthasūtra (samjvalana) ones is called kasāyakuśīla. The saint in whom the rise of karmas is indistinct like the mark of the line made in the water by a stick and who will attain perfect knowledge and faith in antarmuhurta (within forty-eight minutes) is called the 'nirgrantha', meaning without any possessions - internal and external. The Omniscient, of the thirteenth and the fourteenth stages, whose destructive karmas have been destroyed, is called the 'snataka' - the perfect saint. Though they are different from one another on account of the purity of their disposition, yet they are all called 'nirgrantha' - saint - from the figurative (naigama) and the synthetic (samgraha) viewpoints. Again, for further elaboration, the differences among these are mentioned in the next sutra. संयमश्रुतप्रतिसेवनातीर्थलिंगलेश्योपपादस्थानविकल्पतः साध्याः ॥४७॥ इन उपरोक्त मुनि [ संयमश्रुतप्रतिसेवनातीर्थलिंगलेश्योपपादस्थानविकल्पत: ] संयम, श्रुत, प्रतिसेवना, तीर्थ, लिंग, लेश्या, उपपाद और स्थान आठ अनुयोगों द्वारा [ साध्याः ] भेदरूप से साध्य हैं, अर्थात् इन आठ प्रकार से इन पुलाकादि मुनियों में विशेष भेद होते हैं। 402 - They are fit to be described (differentiated) on the basis of differences in self-restraint - samyama, scriptural knowledge – śruta, transgression - pratisevanā, the period of the Tirthankara – tirtha, the sign – linga, the colouration – leśyā, the birth - upapāda, and the state or condition – sthāna.
