THE TWO KINDS OF INFLUX
169
(punya), namely that which produces happy feeling etc. That which protects or keeps the soul away from good is demerit (pāpa), namely that which produces unhappy feeling etc.
Is this influx the same with regard to effects in the case of all mundane beings, or is there any distinction ? The answer is given in the next sutra.
. सकपायाकषाययोः साम्परायिकापथयोः
Sakaṣāyākaşā yayoḥ sāmparāyikeryāpathayoḥ (4) 4. (There are two kinds of influx, namely) that of persons with passions, which extends transmigration, and that of persons free from passions, which prevents or shortens it.
Influx is different according to persons. Persons are of two kinds, namely those actuated by passions and those who are free from passions. The passions are anger, pride, deceitfulness and greed. The passion is called 'kaşāya' because it is similar to the decoction of red colour. What is the meaning of comparison? Just as the decoction (dye) of fruits of the Indian fig-tree etc. imparts its colour to clothing, similarly anger etc. are the cause of the union of karma with the soul. Therefore the passions are called kaşāyas. Sakaṣāya is the person actuated by passions. Akaṣāya is the person who is free from passions. Samparāya is samsāra (transmigration). That karma which leads to samsāra (transmigration) is called sām parāyika. Iranam means iryā, yogo or movement (vibrations). That karma which is caused by vibrations is called iryāpatha. These are taken respectively. The influx of the former karma operates in the case of persons of perverted faith actuated by passions (i. e. from the first stage of 'misbelief up to the tenth stage of spirituality). And the influx of the latter karma takes place in the case of saints free from passions (i. e. from the eleventh spiritual stage of 'subsided delusion' till the end of 'vibratory omniscience'.
The subdivisions of the former influx are given next. इन्द्रियकषायावतक्रियाः पञ्चचतुःपञ्चपञ्चविंशतिसंख्याः पूर्वस्य भेदाः॥५॥ Indriyakaşāyāvratakriyāḥ pañcacatuḥpañcapañca
