1. Can living beings with krishna, kapot and neel leshya be in Sanyam? Can they be in 6th gunasthana as well as in apramatta gunasthana (7th gunasthana)?
Short, direct answer:
- Yes, a sanyami (one with full vows) can have krishna, neel or kapot leshya – but only in the 6th gunasthana.
- In the 7th gunasthana (apramatta-samyat), these three ashubha leshyas cannot remain.
A bit more clearly:
- 6th gunasthana – pramatta-samyat
- Here the soul has full vows (complete sanyam), but there is still pramād (negligence). - In this stage, all six leshyas are possible: - Krishna, Neel, Kapot (inauspicious) - Tejo, Padma, Shukla (auspicious) - So a monk in 6th gunasthana can be sanyami and yet have krishna / neel / kapot leshya.
- 7th gunasthana – apramatta-samyat
- Here there is full sanyam without negligence. - In this stage, only the three shubha leshyas remain: - Tejo, Padma, Shukla - Therefore, a soul in 7th gunasthana cannot have krishna, neel or kapot leshya.
- Tradition note (Digambar / Shwetambar)
- Both traditions accept this general mapping: - Up to 6th: inauspicious leshyas are still possible. - From 7th upward: only shubha leshyas, and later only shukla.
So, to your exact question:
- Can living beings with krishna, kapot, neel leshya be in sanyam?
- Can they be in 6th as well as in 7th (apramatta) gunasthana?
