Spiritual Development
In the tenth state, the remaining 'flaming up' greed, even in its su (uncons cious or subconscious) mode, is repressed or extirpated. The soul is position to rise up to the eleventh state of absolute subsidence of passions if he has selected the ladder of repression, or directly to the twelfth state if he has selected the ladder of extirpation.
The ascent to the ladders is possible only by the 'pure concentration' in its first two varieties, specially by the anuprekṣās prescribed there. The anuprekṣās, it may be noted here, do the function of pratiprasaval (final elimination) of the passions and quasi-passions, coarse and subtle, including the sub-conscious and the unconscious ones.
१४. सर्वोपशान्तक्षीणकषायो उपशान्तक्षीणमोहौ ।
उपशमश्रेण्या रूढो मुनिर्मोह कर्म प्रकृती रुपशमयन् एकादशे सर्वथा उपशान्तमोहो भवति । क्षपकश्र ण्यारूढश्च ताः क्षपयन् द्वादशे सर्वथा क्षीणमोहो भवति । उपशमश्र णिमान् स्वभावात् प्रतिपात्येव, द्वितीयस्तु अप्रतिपाती ।
14. sarvathopaśāntakṣīṇakaṣāyau upaśāntakṣīṇamohau.
upaśamaśreṇyārūḍho munir mohakarmaprakṛtīr upaśamayan ekādaśe sarvatha upaśāntamoho bhavati. kṣapakaśreṇyārūḍhaś ca tāḥ kşapayan dvādaśe sarvathā kṣīņamoho bhavati. upaśamaśreṇimān svabhāvāt pratipäty eva, dvitiyas tu apratipātī.
(Aph.) The souls with repressed or extirpated (conduct-) delusion are (so called, according as) their passions stand absolutely repressed or extirpated. (XIV)
(Gloss) The monk climbing up the ladder of repression by absolutely suppressing all types of (conduct-) deluding karmic forces, reaches the eleventh state wherein he attains the state of repressed (conduct-) delusion. One mounted on the ladder of extirpation, by totally eradicating the same (conduct-deluding karmic forces), reaches the twelfth state wherein he attains the state of 'absolutely extirpated (conduct-) delusion'. Of the two categories of soul mentioned above, the one in the ladder of repression is by nature liable to downfall while the other is exempt from it.

15. kṣiņaghatyacatuṣṭayaḥ pravṛttimän sayogikevali.
