GOMMATASARÀ.
soul has fallen down to the first stage of delusion (Mithyátva).. Note, however, that the downfall itself is due to the operation of the error-feeding passion. From this point of view in the downfall (Sásádana) stage the soul is said to have operative thought-activity (Audayika Bháva). सम्मामिच्छुदयेण जत्तरसव्वघादिकज्जेण।। णय सम्म मिच्छं पि य सस्मिस्सो होदि परिणामो॥२१॥ सम्यग्मिथ्यात्वोदयेन च जात्यन्तरसर्वघातिकार्येण । नच सम्यक्त्वं मिथ्यात्वमपि च सम्मिश्रो भवति परिणामः ॥२१॥
21. On the operation of the right-and-wrong belief or mixed (Samyaktva-Mithyátva or Mishra kind of the right-belief-deluding Karma, Darshana Moha), which is a slightly different kind of all-destructive Karmic matter (Sarvagháti Prakriti), (there) is neither (entirely) right belief, nor (entirely) wrong belief, (but) the thought activity is mixed (i. e., a mixture of right and wrong belief). (This is the description of 3rd or mixed spiritual stage (Mishra Gunasthána). •
Commentary. Játyantara Sarvagháti.- There are 4 destructive (Ghảtiya) Karmas ; Deluding (Mohaniya) Karma is one of them. It is of two kinds : right-belief-deluding (Darshana Mohaníya) and right-conduct-deluding (cháritra-mohaniya). Right-belief-deluding Karma is of three kinds :
(1) Wrong belief (mithyátva). (2) Mixed-right-and-wrong belief (Mashra or Samyaktva
| Mithyatva). (3) Right-belief-slightly-clouded-by-wrong-belief (Samyaktva
Prakriti Mithyátva). All these three classes are of "destructive" Karmic matter; but there is a difference in their degrees. Mithyátva is all distructive (sarvagháti) of right belief. Mishra is slightly different from Mithyátva, because it does not effect a total destruction of right belief, as in it there is always present some right belief mixed with wrong belief.
