(अव्याबाध) refers to one of the nine divisions of the Lokāntika-gods, according to chapter 1.2 [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, “[...] while in this way the Supreme Lord’s mind was woven with the threads of continuity of disgust with saṃsāra, then the Lokāntika-gods who have nine sub-divisions—Sārasvatas, Ādityas, Vahnis, Aruṇas, Gardatoyas, Tuṣitas, s, Maruts, and Riṣṭas, living at the end of Brahmaloka, having additional ornaments made by folded hands like lotus-buds on their heads, came to the feet of the Lord of the World�.

(अव्याबाध) refers to “being free from obstruction� and represents one of the 46 qualities of the soul to be meditated on in the “Practice of Meditation on Liberated Souls (Siddhas)�, according to Jain texts like Ācārāṅga (5.6.123-140), Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama (13.5.4.31) and Samayasāra (1.49).—The pure soul can be recognised by meditation on its true nature, represented by the liberated souls of the Siddhas. The practice which leads to this realisation is meditation on the fact that attachment, aversion, passions and the influx of karmas, are ‘not mine�, that I am separate from them and consist of infinite knowledge, perception, conduct, spiritual energy, that I am the pure, enlightened, and everlasting soul. The qualities of the soul to be meditated on as truly mine are: [e.g., My soul is free from obstruction ()] [...] The meditation on such extended fourty-five qualities of the pure soul presents the Ծśⲹ-Բⲹ, which is aligned with Kundakunda’s approach.

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.

(अव्याबाध).�(-), also written °vādha, in ū-پ岹-վԲⲹ i.97.19 wrongly °vāda, adj. (compare prec. and next, also vyābādha etc.; corresponds to Pali avyāpajjha, avyābajjha), ap- parently usually free from injury, inviolable, secure, but possibly in some passages free from injuriousness, i.e. not given to injuring others, kindly; the Pali equivalent appears to be interpreted in the same two ways, but it is not easy to distinguish them clearly: Ѳ屹ܳٱ貹ٳپ 1508 maitrīsahagatena cittenā 'vaireṇ� 'sapatnenā 'vyābādhena; to this passage corresponds Ѳ屹ٳ iii.213.13 (cetasā�) avaireṇ� 'vyābā- dhena (so Senart em., mss.
