Anantānubandhi kaşāya operates for the whole of life. Apratyākhyāna has its effects for one year. Pratyakhyāna kaşāya produces its effects and continues its operation for four months, While sarjvalana has its effects for 15 days.

Nokaşāya does not mean absence of kaşāya, but it is a quasi-passion in which there is the intensity of passion without the qualitative differences. There are nine types of nokaşayas : 1. laughter (hāsya), 2. rati (liking towards the other living or non-living things or dislike towards the samyama), 3. arati (disliking towards the worldly affairs and interest towards self-control samyama) 4. bhaya (fear), 5. śoka (grief) 6. jugupsă (disgust)? 7, strīveda (sensual desire with a man) 8. puruşaveda (desire of intercourse with a woman), 9. napurhsakaveda (desire of sexual intercourse both with the man and woman).
