________________ 433 All 6 lesyas occur, and 4 kinds of samyaktva, the same as in the fourth. VI. Pramattaguṇasthāna. This and the following steps are reached only by sādhus. Here a man has complete self-control (sarvavirati), but is still subject to pramādas (negligences). There are 5 of these-pride, enjoyment of the senses, kaṣayas, sleep, and idle talk. The kaşayas are in the sañjvalana stage. If the manifestation of the pramādas lasts more than an antarmuhurta, the jiva falls below the sixth. If he remains an antarmuhurta without pramāda, he goes to the seventh guṇasthāna. From this he may fall again to the sixth, and according to some (e.g. Bhagavati) this fluctuation between the sixth and seventh may last for a koți of purvas. The duration of the sixth gunasthana is an antarmuhurta, maximum and minimum. All 6 leśyās occur. VII. Apramattaguṇasthāna. Pramādas no longer exist, but sañjvalanakaṣāyas still rise, and the nokaṣāyas. The Guna. (p. 26) gives the 18,000 silangas as belonging to this guṇasthāna, but they belong to sarvavirati and could be adopted as well in the sixth. Dharmadhyāna is very strong in the seventh, and there is a beginning of sukladhyāna. The seventh lasts for an antarmuhurta, maximum and minimum. Only tejo-, padma-, and śuklaleśyās occur (KG III. 22, p. 121). VIII. Apūrvakaraṇaguṇasthāna. Here begin the two ladders, upasama and kṣapaka, for the suppression and destruction of caritramohaniyakarma. From the eighth through the eleventh, only 2 kinds of samyaktva are possible-aupaŝamika and kṣāyika. Sukladhyāna had a faint beginning in the seventh, but here the first part is fully developed. One of the first 3 kinds of bodies is necessary to ascend the ladders, 28 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
