Kāyabalī

Published: 25.10.2016

An ascetic equipped with a special kind of Labdhi (supernatural power);

that ascetic (Muni), who, by dint of his titanic physical power, obtained by intensive Kṣayopaśama (annihilation-cum-subsidence) of Vīryāntarāya (Karma, obstructing the spiritual energy), does not become fatigued or exhausted inspite of standing upright in the Kāyotsarga Pratimā (the practice of special course of spiritual practice in the posture of Kāyotsarga (2) (austerity qua abandonment of body)) even for one year at a stretch. E.g., Bāhubalī.

(Yośā 1.8 Vṛ p. 42)
