Samudghāta (समुद्घात) is a process by which a Jīva makes emanate soul-particles, together with the karmic matter which is inseparable from them, for some particular purpose.

There are 7 kinds of samudghātas:

1. vedanīya,
2. kaṣāya,
3. vaikriya,
4. māraṇāntika,
5. taijasa,
6. āhāra,
7. kevalisamudghāta.

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.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
