SAMAYASARA.

There are eight Karmas of which the following four are called destructive (Ghátíya) :-(1) knowledgeobscuring which prevents knowledge, (2) conation-obscuring which prevents conation, (3) deluding Karmas which delude right belief and right conduct, (4) obstructive, which prevent the manifesta
