Apākṛtya (अपाकृत्य) refers to “having driven away” (anything tormenting the mind), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Having driven away (apākṛtya) anything tormenting the mind, you must practise equanimity towards living beings, reflect upon the state of non-attachment [and] resort to purification of the mind”.
