[Vidvadanubhava-siddha ³§Äå³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ²â²¹]
When Jiva diverts his mental activies from the objects of knowledge by means of practice and determination, (²¹²ú³ó²âÄå²õ²¹ and ±¹²¹¾±°ùÄå²µ²â²¹) then he immediately attains ±Ê²¹°ùÄå level. Then his retinue of °ä¾±³Ù°ùÅ«±è²¹, shining in him, attain the Serene ±Ê²¹°ù²¹³¾Äå°ìÄåÅ›²¹ and achieve oneness with °ä¾±³Ù¾±Å›²¹°ì³Ù¾±. This is also the state attainable by the ³§Äå»å³ó²¹°ì²¹²õ[1] through proper pursuit.
