Āśrava (आश्रव) refers to “tears”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.3.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] on seeing the gods after their arrival, the noble Himācala bowed to them gladly and honoured them with devotion. He praised his own good fortune. With the head bent down and palms joined in reverence, he eulogised them with great devotion. Himācala’s hair stood on end and tears of love (i.e., preman-āśrava) fell from his eyes”.

Nirukta (Sanskrit etymology)

Source: Google Books: Abhidharmakosa-Bhasya of Vasubandhu (etymology)

Āsrava (आस्रव) (“flux”) etymology:—The fluxes are so called because they make one settle (āsayantīty āsravāṇāṃ nirvacanam). The afflicted views (dṛṣṭi) that are isolated (kevala; asahāya), i.e., without companions, are not favorable to settling (āsana), (due to) being intense. Thus a separate place is not made for them among the fluxes; they appear in the category of fluxes, but mixed with other proclivities.

Further: “(i) The proclivities (anuśaya) fix, keep (āsayanti) beings in cyclic existence (saṃsāra); (ii) they [cause beings to] flow around (āsravanti, gacchanti) from the highest, heaven (summit of cyclic existence [bhavāgra] = naivasaṃjñānāsaṃjñāyatana; iii. 3, 81) to the hell of ceaseless torture (avīci; iii. 58); (iii) they discharge or ooze (kṣar) through the six wound-like entrances (āyatana; i.e., the sense-faculties). They are thus called fluxes (āsrava)”.

Nirukta (निरुक्त) or “etymology” refers to the linguistic analysis of the Sanskrit language. This branch studies the interpretation of common and ancient words and explains them in their proper context. Nirukta is one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.

[...] Further, as for the purity of morality, [...] open space is unsullied (anāsrava-gagana—anāsravaṃ gaganaṃ), and unsullied is also that morality; open space is unconditioned, and unconditioned is also that morality so is the morality; open space is unchanging, and unchanging is also that morality; open space has no thought-constructions, and no thought-constructions is also that morality; [...]”.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Āśrava (आश्रव) refers to “channels for acquiring karma” and represents one of the seven tattvas (principles), according to chapter 4.4 [anantanātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as Anantanātha said:—“[...] Whatever action there is of mind, speech, and body that is āśrava (channel for acquiring karma). Good action is the cause of a good āśrava; bad action is the cause of a bad āśrava. The source of blocking of all channels is saṃvara. Nirjarā is the destruction here of karmas that are the sources of existence. [...]”.

Source: WikiPedia: Jainism

Asrava is one of the tattva or the fundamental reality of the world as per the Jain philosophy. It refers to the influence of body and mind causing the soul to generate karma.

The karmic process in Jainism is based on seven truths or fundamental principles (tattva) of Jainism which explain the human predicament.

Out that the seven, the four—

1. influx (āsrava),
2. bondage (bandha),
3. stoppage (saṃvara)
4. and release (nirjarā)

—pertain to the karmic process.

For the philosophical term in Buddhism, see Asava.

Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 6: Influx of karmas

Āsrava (आस्रव).—What is meant by influx (āsrava)? The flow of karma particles, due to activities of mind (manoyoga), body (kāyayoga) and speech (vacanayoga), towards the soul is called influx. Why are the activities (yoga) called influx? Since activities of the mind body and speech are the cause of the inflow of kārmaṇa and nokarma (gross body building) particles to establish a relation with the soul. So activities (yoga) are called influx.

How many types of influx are there? There are two types of influx namely:

1. auspicious (śubha),
2. inauspicious (aśubha).

From the viewpoint of the state of the soul; the influx is classified as:

1. transmigression-extending or sāmparāyika (in living beings tainted with passions),
2. transmigression-reduction or īryāpatha (in living beings free from passions).

Āśrava (आश्रव, “influx”).—What is meant by influx (āśrava)? Movement of karma particles with or without merit (pūnya/ pāpa) towards the space-points (ātma-pradeśa) of the soul is called influx.

Source: HereNow4u: Jain Dharma ka Maulika Itihasa (2)

Āsrava (आस्रव) refers to “karmic influx” and is one of the topics treated in the Sūtrakṛtāṅga (Sūtrakṛtāṃga), one of the Dvādaśāṅgī (twelve Aṅgas) of Jainism.—Sūtrakṛtāṅga is the second Āgama of the Dvādaśāṅgī. Sūtra kṛatāṃga has 2 Śruta skaṇdhas. The first Śruta skaṇdha has 16 and the second has 7 lectures; in all 23 chapters, 33 topics, 33 sub topics and 36000 verses. Topics include Karmic influx (āsrava).

Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

1) Āsrava (आस्रव) refers to the “influx of karma” and represents one of the seven reals (tattvas), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Consequently, the sages have said that the seven reals are sentient soul, non-sentient matter, the influx of karma (āsrava), the binding of karma, stopping the influx of karma, wearing away karma and liberation”.

2a) Āśrava (आश्रव) or Karmāśrava refers to the “inflow (of Karmas)” and represents one of the twelve pure reflections (bhāvanā), according to the Praśamaratiprakaraṇa 149-50 (p. 93-4).—Accordingly, “(A monk) should reflect, upon transcient [sic] nature of the world, helplessness, loneliness, separateness of the self from non-self, impurity (of the body), cycle of births sand [sic] rebirths, inflow of Karmas (karman-āśrava) and stoppage of inflow of Karmas; Shedding of stock of Karmas, constitution of the universe, nature of true religion, difficulty in obtaining enlightenment, which are (called) twelve pure Bhāvanās (reflections)”.

2b) Āśrava (आश्रव) or “influx of karmic matter” also represents one of the twelve themes of contemplation (bhāvanā), according to the Jain Yogaśāstra (vol. 2, p. 839).—Accordingly, “Equanimity is attained through the state of non-attachment. In order to attain that [state of non-attachment], one should cultivate the twelve themes of contemplation: on impermanence, helplessness, the cycle of transmigration, solitude, the distinction [of the Self and the body], the impurity [of the body], the influx of karmic matter (āśrava-vidhi), the stopping [of karmic influx], the elimination of karmic matter, the correctly expounded law, the universe, and the [difficulty of attaining] enlightenment”.

2c) Āsrava (आस्रव) refers to the “influx of karma” and represents one of the “(twelve) reflections” (bhāvanā), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Activity is the action of body, speech and mind, and those who have a thorough knowledge of reality have said that this is cause of the influx of karma (āsrava). As a boat in the middle of the ocean takes in water through holes, so a living soul takes in karma through holes of activity which are good and bad. The good influx of karma is caused by a mind which is supported by restraint, tranquillity, detachment, consideration of reality and is uplifted by producing friendliness, etc. A mind which is inflamed by the fire of passion and disturbed by sense objects accumulates karma connected with life.

Āśrava (आश्रव) refers to the “karmic influx”; as opposed to Anāśrava—“being devoid of karmic influx” which refers to one of the 46 qualities of the soul to be meditated on in the “Practice of Meditation on Liberated Souls (Siddhas)”, according to Jain texts like Ācārāṅga (5.6.123-140), Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama (13.5.4.31) and Samayasāra (1.49).—The pure soul can be recognised by meditation on its true nature, represented by the liberated souls of the Siddhas. [...] The qualities of the soul to be meditated on as truly mine are: [e.g., My soul is devoid of karmic influx (an-āśrava)] [...] The meditation on such extended fourty-five qualities of the pure soul presents the niśacaya-naya, which is aligned with Kundakunda’s approach.

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.
