________________ 8. Anger, pride, deceit, Avarice—these four are the leaders of the army of Karmas. They cause hindrances in the realm of Kāyotsarga. Hence one should engage in achieving victory over them. 9. The maximum and minimum duration of Abhibhava Kāyotsarga is one year and one Antarmuhūrta respectively. We will discuss later on the duration of Ceștā Kāyotsarga. 10.--11. Uchhrit-aUchhrita, Uchhrita, Uchhrita-Nişaņņa, Nişaņņa-Uchhrita, NişanņaNişaņņa-Nişaņņa, Nişaņņa-Uchhrita, Nişaņņa, Nişaņņa-Nişaņņa, Nişaņņa-Uchhrita, Nipaņņa, NipannaNipaņņa. These are the nine different forms of Kayotsarga which will be dealt with hereinafter. 12. These three kinds of Kāyotsarga done in the posture of standing sitting and sleeping have each four different categories related to Dravya and Bhāva. (1) Physically standing and mentally engrossed in meritorious meditation. (2) Physically standing and mentally engrossed in immeritorious meditation. (3) Physically sitting or sleeping and mentally engrossed in merito rious meditation. (4) Physically sitting or sleeping and mentally engrossed in im meritorious meditation. 13. Kāyotsarga begets these five benefits : (1) Dispels physical inertia by removing cough etc. (2) Removes intellectual inertia through alertness. (3) Increases the power of enjoying happiness and forbearing sorrow with equanimity of mind. (4) Affords adequate opportunities for contemplation. (5) Provides adequate opportunities for deep meditation. 14. Concentration of mind on one particular object for an Antar Muhurta is called meditation. It is of four kinds- Ārta, Raudra Dharmya and Sukla. 15. The first two kinds of meditation lead to transmigration and the last two which lead to emancipation are dealt with in this treatise. 47 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
