ṣҾ첹 (क्षायि�) refers to “right-belief which arises from destruction of karma� and represents one of the five classes of Saṃyagdarśana (“right-belief�), as mentioned in chapter 1.3 [īś-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as mentioned in Ṛṣabha’s sermon:�

“[... ǰṣa is attained by those who practice unceasingly the brilliant triad of knowledge, faith, and conduct. Attachment to the principles told by the scriptures is called ‘right-belief� (ṃyśԲ or ṃy岹śԲ), and is produced by intuition or instruction of a Guru. [...] It is five-fold. Of these, the fifth kind of right-belief, named ṣҾ첹, belongs to a creature with pure psychical condition, who has destroyed the seven (ṛt). [...]�.

Note: ṣҾ첹 is imperishable in reality, as even Siddhas possess it, but so far as one birth is concerned its minimum duration is an Գٲܳūٲ and its maximum 33 + 岵DZ貹. It may be acquired in any Guṇasthāna from fourth to twelfth and lasts through the fourteenth. It can be attained only in a human birth, but may be retained in other births, as it is never lost. Furthermore, it can be attained only in Jinakāla, i.e., when it is possible for a Tīrthaṅkara to appear. For Bharatakṣetra this is in the third and fourth divisions of 辱ṇ�.

: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 2: the Category of the living

ṣҾ첹 (क्षायि�, “destruction�) refers to one of the five dispositions (thought-activities) of the soul, according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 2.1. What is meant by destruction (ṣҾ첹)?
