Destruction of CD Karma : (175)
While ascending on destructional ladder, there are 12, 9, 6 and 3 composite intensity reductions of gleaming anger, pride, deceit and greed respectively under the state of dense pervasion or without division or unitary nature. However, each of the composite intensity reduction has infinite componential intensity reductions. Further, each of the passion has three composite intensity reductions each and each such process has infinite componential reductions.
As a rule, the beginner in karmic destruction undertakes intensity reduction while attenuating the karmic duration and intensity of all the four gleaming passions. However, it should be taken that there could be no intensity reduction when there is augmentation in duration and intensity of the gleaming passions as such living being has altogether different and contrary volitions in this state. (It should be noted that these verses are generally related with deluding karma only as there could be no such rule for karmas like knowledge obscuring etc.).
The intensity reduction is characterised as that which has successively infinite times the multiplication factor in the intensity of four kinds of unchanging gleaming passions beginning from minimal intensity reduction of gleaming greed up to the last maximal of gleaming anger in reverse order. (As the gleaming passion has been reduced or leaned, hence it is called 'krsti or intensity reduction).
