Atarkita (अतर्कित) or Atarkitahetu refers to an “unexpected cause”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “[com.—Next he says that the acquisition in its entirety of life-span, etc. (āyuṣkādisāmagrīprāptiḥ) of the self (jīvasya) here is an unexpected cause (atarkitahetuḥ)]—Also when there is duration of life, completeness of all the senses, a good mind [and] tranquillity of mind for embodied souls in the human state, that is unexpected. Then if the mind is devoid of any sense object [and] influenced by restraint and tranquillity by means of virtue still there is no ascertainment of reality”.
