Bhuktojjhita (भुक्तोज्झित) refers to “(being) free from (attachment to) things” [?], according to Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi.—Accordingly, “[...] But there is nothing in the world which is permanent except the natural characteristics of knowledge and perception  of the self. This is contemplation on the transitory nature of things. He who contemplates thus is free from intense attachment to persons and things (bhuktojjhita), and hence he does not feel stress when he loses them or separates from them as in the case of the garlands used and cast off”.

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.
