________________ 154 TATTVARTHA SUTRA Anger, pride, deception and greed are the four kinds of defilement. They are subdivided into four types each, depending upon their intensity. The most intense one, which lasts for a very long time, is called Anantanubandhi. That, which is so intense that it cannot be overcome even by taking the vow to overcome it, is called Apratyakhyanavaraniya. That, which is not so intense and can be overcome by taking the vow for the purpose, is called Pratyakhyanavaraniya. That, which is very subtle, is called Sanjwalan. Multiplying the four main kinds of defilement with these four types results in sixteen types of defilement. In addition, there are nine semi-defiling instincts, viz. laughter affection, disaffection, lamentation, fear, despise, male sexuality, female sexuality and hermaphroditic sense. They are related to embodiment and are treated as minor flaws. As such, they are called Nokashays (semi-defilements). Adding these nine to earlier mentioned 16 sub-categories it works out to a total of 25 sub-categories of Charitramohaniya Karma. नारकतैर्यग्योनमानुषदैवानि // 8-11 // 8.11: Naraktairyagyonmanushdaivani (Infernal, animal, human and divine are the four categories of age span.) Ayushya (age span) Karma is of four categories. That, which leads to divine or heavenly life, is called Devayu; that, which leads to human life, is called Manushyau; that, which leads to sub-human (animals, insects, plant life etc.) life, is called Tiryanchau and that, which leads to infernal life, is called Narakayu.
