________________ THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS. Yoga is the power of a Jiva possessing activities of inind, speech and body by which particles of matter are attracted towards it.* Yoga or union is mainly of three kinds, vie., (1) with respect to mind (2) with respect to speech and (3) with respect to body. The first two of these, again, are each of four kinds. Mind may be turned to things which are true, to things which are false, to things which are both true and false, and to things which are neither true nor false. Speech also might be directed to truth, falsehood, mixed truth and falsehood, and neither truth nor falsehood. Unity in body, again, is of seven kinds : (1) as in the bodies of human beings and lower animals which are fixed in limits 2) a mixed state of the first (3) as in the bodies of the innates of heaven and hell which can increase or diminish (4) a mixed state of the third (5) as in the body which comes out of the head of a sage in the sixth stage of development to go to a Kevali 1 (6) a mixed state of the fifth and 17) as in the forms which result from the eight kinds of Karma. I Veda or sex is of three kinds, male, female and eunuch. Kaşaya or passions are four: anger, pride, deceit and greed. Each of these is, again, of four kinds, according to different degrees of intensity Jñâna is of eight kinds, Mati, Sruta, Avadhi, ...:::'.. Kevala, Kumati, Kusruta and Vibbangåvadhili Samyama or l'estraint consists of keeping the Vratas (vows), observing the Samitis, checking the Kaşayas or passions, giving up the Dandas and controlling the Indriyas (senses). Darsana is of four kinds, Chakşu, Achakşu, Avadhi and Kevala. $ * "पुग्गलविवाइ-देहोदयेण मणवयणकायजुत्तस्स। जीवस्स जा हु सत्ती कम्मागमकारणं जोगो॥" [Gommatasara, Jiva-kânda, Verse 216.] + See the commentary on Verse 10.
