Chapter - Sutra 8-17
361
The qualities of conduct, sleep, growth, disease, touch of grass, and filth do not exist in that state due to the absence of karma generated by the remaining eleven types of fatal karma.
In which the specific possibility of samparāya-kṣāya is excluded, that place is the ninth gunasthana known as bādarasīmparayana because everything that is the cause of suffering is diminished there. It is self-evident that the possibility of enduring the same level of suffering exists in the earlier sixth and other gunasthanas. [10-2]
For water, four types of karma are considered the causes of suffering: Knowledge-obscuring karma is the cause of wisdom and ignorance-related suffering; obstructive karma is the cause of profit-related suffering evident after severe disagreement. According to the first interpretation, it means that in the omniscient jin, knowledge-obscuring and other eleven types of suffering are generated by karma, but due to the lack of rain, they are merely the material suffering. According to the second interpretation, by applying the word "not," it has been interpreted that while knowledge-related karma exists in the jin, the dependent knowledge-obscuring and other eleven types of suffering do not become obstructive due to the absence of rain.
1. The Digambara commentary at this point does not keep the term bādarasaṁparāya as a name but treats it as an adjective, thus yielding meanings in the sixth and other four gunasthanas.
2. No matter how miraculous the intellect may be, it is dependent and therefore obliged to knowledge-obscuring karma; hence consider knowledge-related suffering as consequent upon knowledge-obscuring karma.
