Sadoṣa (सदोष) refers to “(being) with impurities”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Also, as gold with impurities (sadoṣa) becomes pure through fire, in like manner this living soul, being heated by the fire of asceticism, [becomes pure]. Astonishingly , external [and] internal asceticism is undergone by honourable mendicants who are wise [and] alarmed by the continuous series of births [in the cycle of rebirth]”.
