Paricyuta (परिच्युत) refers to “having rid oneself (of thought and activity)”, according to Hemacandra’s Yogaśāstra (12.22-25): “[...] The Yogin who has rid [himself] of thought and activity (cintāceṣṭā-paricyuta), [on] the outside, inside and all sides, and who has obtained the state of absorption in that, quickly accomplishes the no-mind state. [...]”.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

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

Paricyuta (परिच्युत) refers to “having deviated” (from one’s own true nature), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “This [self], which is master of the three worlds, omniscient [and] possessed of infinite power, does not recognise itself and has deviated (paricyuta) from its own true nature. Tarnished by awful stains arising from eternity, it grasps objects according to its own desire which are very different from itself”.

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.
