Answer

In the usual Jain explanation, upasham shreni is entered by a soul with kshayopashamika samyaktva, not by a separate “aupashamika samyaktva” state as the standard entry condition.

Explanation

• Kshayopashamika samyaktva means right faith that arises when karma is partly destroyed and partly suppressed.
• Aupashamika samyaktva means right faith arising mainly through suppression.

In the gunasthana framework, the soul that takes the upasham shreni is generally described as a samyagdrishti with kshayopashamika samyaktva, progressing through the suppression of deluding karma.

Spiritual Understanding

The word upasham itself means suppression. So the shreni is a path where passions and deluding karma are temporarily suppressed. It is a very high spiritual state, but still not final liberation. That is why Jain texts distinguish it carefully from kshapaka shreni, where karma is destroyed rather than only suppressed.

Takeaway

So, in simple words: upasham shreni is usually associated with kshayopashamika samyaktva. If you want, I can also explain the difference between aupashamika, kshayopashamika, and kshayika samyaktva in a very simple table.
