The first verse of the chapter on destruction of CD Karma is 124. The earlier verse 7 indicates that there are four verses. related with the beginner in destruction. Their names have also been indicated. But they are not found in this chapter, though Vīrasena has a long commentary on all the four verses under commentary on verse 123. Per chance, they are nearly the same in contents as has been indicated in verses 91-94 in reference to chapter on Righteousness or subsidence of FD Karma. The only difference will be that there should be the words 'Sankāmaņa-pattavagassa' in place of 'Darsana-mohauvasāmgassa'. As the destruction of CD Karma occurs at higher spiritual stages (i.e. 8th and 9'"), and it is concomitant with destruction of FD Karma, the commentary gives long details corresponding to this process as it is there with reference to verse 94 on subsidence of FD Karma. Per chance, KP author did not want repetition and maintain brevity of text. Pt. Kishan Chandji of Alwar has also concurred with this opinion.
