MEANS OF EFFECTING STOPPAGE

instant of this stage, the four karmas causing laughter, liking, fear and disgust bind. These types of karmas flow in owing to intense passions. There is stoppage of these karmas in the absence of intense passions in the higher stages. In the next stage of Advanced Thought-Activity' (anivrtlibādarasāmparāya stage in which gross passions still remain), the male sex and the gleaming (subtle form of) anger bind from the first instant up to one/numerable part of the duration of this stage. In the balance of one/numerable part of the duration, the gleaming pride and the gleaming deceitfulness bind. And in the last instant the flaming-up greed binds. The influx of these karmas is caused by moderate passions. And owing to the absence of moderate passions, there is stoppage of these karmas in the higher stages. In the next stage of 'Slight Delusion'? (sūkşmasāmparāya), the five kinds of knowledge-obscuring karmas, the four kinds of perception-obscuring karmas, honour and glory, high family surroundings and the five kinds of obstructive karmas, the influx of which is caused by minute passions, bind. There is stoppage of these karmas in the higher stages owing to the absence of minute passions in those stages. In the next three stages of 'Subsided Delusion', 'Destroyed Delusion' and 'Omniscience with Vibration' (rupaśānta kaşāya, kşinakaşāya and sayogakovali), there is the bondage of karmas causing the feeling of pleasure owing to the presence of mere vibrations or activity. And in the absence of activity in the case of the omniscient without activity (ayogakevali), there is stoppage of the karma causing the feeling of pleasure.
Stoppage has been described. The means of stoppage are mentioned in the next sutra.
