Chapter 2 - Verses 1-7
Character is revealed. The nine types of transformations related to Kevalajñāna and others are called kṣāyika.
From the destruction of the deluding knowledge (mati), scriptural knowledge (śruta), omniscient knowledge (avadhi), and mental knowledge (manah-paryāya), respectively, the corresponding knowledge—knowledge of mental processes, past, omniscience, and mental representations—manifests. The destruction of deluding knowledge associated with false beliefs, scriptural misunderstandings, and impaired knowledge is responsible for the emergence of ignorance related to mind, scripture, and divisions. From the destruction of visual perception (cakṣur-darśana), non-visual perception (acakṣur-darśana), and comprehensive perception (avadhi-darśana), the respective perceptions manifest. Through the dissolution of the five types of obstacles (antarāya), the five types of accomplishments related to charity and gain manifest. From the dissolution of attachments associated with infinite binds, as well as the great merit (darśana-mehanya), the true nature (samyaktva) arises. From the relinquishment of undetermined karmas associated with attachments, the expression of regional renunciation (deśavirati) comes forth. And from the dissolution of attachments related to determined karmas, universal renunciation (sarva-virati) of character emerges. Hence, the eight types of transformations related to the knowledge, etc., mentioned above are kṣāpashamik.
The result of the rising karmas that determine movement (gati-nāma) leads to four states: hell, animals, humans, and deities. The rise of attachments (kṣāya-mahānīya) leads to the emergence of four attachments: greed, pride, deceit, and lust. The rise of knowledge related to brahminhood (veda-mehānīya) results in the manifested states of female, male, and neuter. The rise of delusion related to false beliefs (mithyātva-mehānīya) brings about false perception and disbelief regarding the essence of reality. Ignorance results from the absence of knowledge, obstructive knowledge (jñānāvaraṇīya), and perceptual knowledge (darśanāvaraṇīya). Uncontrolled behavior (asaṁyata) results from the complete absence of restraint and is the outcome of the rise of the twelve types of attachments (chārīta-mehānīya). The aspect of inadequacy results from possessing a body and the derived states of life.
