## Ninth Dasha
The eighth Dasha describes the 'Paryushana Kalpa'. Every Muni should properly worship it. Those who do not do so acquire Mohaniya Karmas. This Dasha describes the reasons for the bondage of Mohaniya Karmas. The Muni should know the nature of these reasons and strive to remain separate from them. Mohaniya (Mohyatyatmanam Muhyatyatma varnan) is the Karma that deludes the soul or through which the soul gets trapped in delusion. In other words, the Karma whose atoms, upon contact, make the soul devoid of wisdom and mute, is called Mohaniya Karma. Just as the soul often loses its wisdom and consciousness due to the consumption of intoxicants, similarly, under the influence of Mohaniya Karma, the soul becomes devoid of religious activities and, due to the lack of wisdom, starts wandering in the four gatis. The bondage period of this Karma is equal to seventy kotis of kotis of sagars. This Karma is the most important Karma. Therefore, everyone should try to avoid it. To avoid it, the Sutrakar has created this Dasha.
I
Its first Sutra is:
"At that time, in that era, there was a city named Champa. A woman named Punabhadde was the queen, and the woman Koniyaraaya was the goddess. The Sami Samosadhe Pariṣā went out, the Dharma was spoken, and the Pariṣā returned."
