貹śԳٲdz (उपशान्तमोह) refers to one of the Fourteen Guṇasthānas (“steps on the road to emancipation�) according to Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra (“lives of the 63 illustrious persons�).—This (i.e., 貹śԳٲdz) is reached only by ܱ貹ś첹. All dz󲹲īⲹ첹 is suppressed. From this the jīva must fall, and eventually ascend the ṣa貹첹śṇi to attain ǰṣa. According to the Lp. (3. 1213-15) one may ascend the ܱ貹śśṇi as many as 4 times, but only twice in one birth. But the KG holds that it can not be done but once in a birth, though the ṣa貹첹śṇi may be ascended after the ܱ貹śśṇi. The duration of the eleventh ṇaٳԲ is an Գٲܳūٲ. But it has a minimum of one samaya, when one who has āyurbandha dies while on this step. Only śܰé is present.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
