4 (300b) Certain H and G-except Joisiyas [because Joisiyas always have the fiery lessā, Abhay.]-may have less karman than other H and G although the latter have a brighter lessā: e.g. kanha-lese neraie appa-kammatarāe nila-lese neraie maha-kammatarāe. This depends on the comparative) durations of the karmans in question (thiim paducca).
thüm paducca is explained by Abhay. as follows: a H with a black lessä, for instance, may have consumed such a part of his karman that the rest of it is smaller than the karman of a new-born H with a blue lessā, although its original amount, of course, had been bigger.
5 (3012) Perception is not annihilation, the former being karman, the latter non-karman. This is true for HAMG and for the three times, past, present and future. Perception and annihilation are not effected in the same samaya.
See e.g. the 'momentary karman'in III 314 and Sûy. Il 3, 23. 6 (302a) The different kinds of beings (HAMG) considered in their entirety (avvocchitti-nay'atthayāe) are eternal; considered individually (vocch.-n.-a.) they are not eternal. * *
Abhay. esteems the two points of view to be the same as those of substance (dravya) and quality (paryāya). Cf. I 98 and VII 29.
