________________ 82 A Treatise on Jainism (2) Sasadana, Downfall. The second and third stages are the intervening progressive stages of thought-activities between Wrong-Belief and Right-Belief of the 4th stage. In the 2nd stage the three kinds of Right-Belief-Deluding Karmas are existent, but in an inoperative condition. The remaining 25 are operative. The duration of this stage is the shortest, viz, at the most 6 Avalis, or Winks or Twinklings of an eye. This is a stage, which is not touched by the soul in its progress. It is only one of the possible 3 stages, which the soul occupies if it suffers a downfall from the 4th stage. These 3 downward stages are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. When there is operation in the 4th stage of one of the four Anantanubandhi Kashayas, Error-feeding passions, the soul falls down to the 1st stage through the 2nd and the thoughtactivity in the passage through, is called Sasadana.
