: SOAS Research Online: Preká¹£Ä� meditation: History and MethodsSudha (सà¥à¤�) or “pureâ€� refers to one of the 46 qualities of the soul to be meditated on in the “Practice of Meditation on Liberated Souls (Siddhas)â€�, according to Jain texts like Ä€cÄrÄá¹…ga (5.6.123-140), á¹¢aá¹khaṇá¸Ägama (13.5.4.31) and SamayasÄra (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 mineâ€�, 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 pure (sudha)] [...] The meditation on such extended fourty-five qualities of the pure soul presents the ²Ô¾±Å›²¹³¦²¹²â²¹-²Ô²¹²â²¹, which is aligned with Kundakunda’s approach.

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.
