Righteousness of FD Karma : (127)
The subsider of FD karma should be known to have the karma of experiential wrongness. However, there is no fruition of this karma under the subsided state. Later on, after subsidence, he may or may
not have fruition there.
All the three varieties (of wrongness, righteousness and right-cumwrongness) of the faith-deluding karma are in the state of subsidence (non-fruition) under all the durational specifics. Further, all the specific durations of these three varieties, as a rule, have the same intensity during the process.
The subsider of the FD karma should be known to have the karmic bondage of all the eight karmas of knowledge-obscuring etc. along with wrong faith one due to wrongness.
However, when the FD karma is under subsidence, there is no bondage due to wrongness.
Further, when the state of subsidence is over, the bondage due to wrongness is optional (may or may not be there)
(The term 'Āsāņa' here could have two meanings: (1) destruction and (2) second spiritual stage. Hence, the second meaning of the second part of the verse could also be that the right-faithed and lingering right-faithed ones do not have bondage due to wrongness).
