Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya by Haribhadra Sūri
Chapter 6 – Influence of the Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya [30 of 48]
Chapter 6.3 – Dvātriṃśad–dvātriṃśikā by Upādhyāya Yaśovijaya [11 of 12]
While defining icchāyoga, Haribhadrasūri says kartumicchoḥ kasyacinnirvyājameva tathāvidhakṣayopaśamabhāvena |, whereas his successor upādhyāya Yaśovijaya states that, cikīrṣoḥ = tathāvidhakṣayopaśama'bhāve'pi nirvyājameva kartumicchoḥ,... |. It seems that the word tathāvidha is interpreted by both the scholars in their own manner. In Jainism we get eight types of karmans viz. jñānavaraṇīyakaraman, darśanavaraṇīyakarman and so on.[1] Neither Haribhadrasūri nor upādhyāya Yaśovijaya have specified that which type of karman’s destruction–cum–subsidence is intended by words tathāvidhakṣayopaśama. When Haribhadrasūri says tathāvidhakṣayopaśamabhāvena, he implies that type of destruction–cum–subsidence of karmans which yields earnest (nirdaṃbha) performance of religious activities. The words, tathāvidhakṣayopaśama'bhāve'pi, used by upādhyāya Yaśovijaya indicate that even though a beholder of icchāyoga have not achieved that much destruction–cum–subsidence of karmans that results into the earnest (nirdaṃbha) religious performances, the beholder of icchāyoga practices religious activities with utmost earnestness (nirdaṃbha).
