Ayogikevalin (अयोगिकेवलिन्) refers to an “omniscient being who is in the fourteenth guṇasthāna”, as mentioned in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. II, P. 223, l. 18]—‘Sayogikevalin’ is an omniscient being who is in the thirteenth guṇasthāna and who has not given up any of the three activities (yogas). ‘Ayogikevalin’ is also an omniscient being but he is on a higher plane than ‘sayogikevalin’. In other words he is in the fourteenth—the best guṇasthāna, and he has stopped all the activities, even the mental one.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Ayogikevali (अयोगिकेवलि) refers to one of the Fourteen Guṇasthānas (“steps on the road to emancipation”) according to Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra (“lives of the 63 illustrious persons”).—In this (i.e., Ayogikevali), fine bodily activity, which is the only activity remaining, is suppressed. There are 85 karmas remaining, 72 of which are destroyed in the next to the last moment, and the last 13 in the last minute. The fourth śukladhyāna takes place at the end of the fourteenth guṇasthāna, simultaneously with śaileśī, and lasts long enough to utter 5 short vowels. The duration of the guṇasthāna is an antarmuhūrta, according to the Lp. The first, second, and fourth guṇasthānas are carried over into another birth, but not the others. One never dies in the third, twelfth nor thirteenth. (Lp. 3.1277-80).

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.
