Destruction of CD Karma : (149)
Explanatory Verses of First Doctrinal Verse
The beginner of karmic destruction of deluding karma has two kinds of duration: the first one and the second one.
As a rule, the difference between the two durations is a little less than a Muhurta, M (one Antarmuhūrta < 48 minutes).
(Virasena states that the term 'a little less than an M' should be taken to mean M only).
The fruitional or non-fruitional karmic heap of species, whose duration has been completed, is experienced through both the kinds of duration. However, that karmic heap of species has only the second type of duration, which is not experienced.
The beginner of karmic destruction has the medium (non-minimum and non-maximum) duration of his earlier earned (or bound) karmas. Further, the species of pleasure-feeling producing, auspicious physique-making and status determining karmas have the maximum intensity (of bonding or fruition) at a specific time at the ninth spiritual stage of similar volition.
[These intensities are not maximum in general, but they are so under particular conditions].
