Sayogikevalin (सयोगिकेवलिन्) refers to an “omniscient being who is in the thirteenth 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.

Sayogikevali (सयोगिकेवलि) 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., Sayogikevali) he becomes a Kevalin, and tīrthakṛtnāmakarma rises now, if at all. All the karmas become ready for dissolution. The third śukladhyāna is practiced now. The duration of the thirteenth guṇasthāna is an antarmuhūrta minimum and something less than a koṭi of pūrvas maximum. Śuklaleśyā is still present.

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.
