## 22] [Prajñāpanasūtra]
**Sleep** is that which can be easily awakened from. **Nidrānidrā** is that deep sleep which is difficult to awaken from. **Prachalā** is the sleep that comes while sitting, and **Prachalā-Prachalā** is the sleep that comes while walking. **Styānaddhi** or **Styānagṛddhi** is the sleep that comes due to the experience of very complex karma-paramāṇus. In this deep sleep, the jīva gains many times more power than its own and often performs extraordinary tasks that it thought of during the day.
The nature of **Chakṣudarśanāvaraṇa** etc. is as follows:
* **Chakṣudarśanāvaraṇa-netra** - The covering of the normal use of vision through the eye.
* **Prachakṣudarśanāvaraṇa-netra** - The covering of the normal use of other senses besides the eye.
* **Avadhidarśanāvaraṇa** - The covering of **avadhidarśana**.
* **Kevaladarśanāvaraṇa** - The prevention of the arising of **kevaladarśana**.
The effect of the arising of **darśanāvaraṇīyakarma** is that, like **jñānāvaraṇīyakarma**, the arising of **darśanāvaraṇīyakarma** itself or the arising of **darśanāvaraṇīyakarma** instigated by another covers the attainment and use of the senses. This leads to the destruction of the previous results of vision, causing the jīva to be unable to see even the objects that are visible to the senses. Thus, the arising of **darśanāvaraṇīyakarma** causes various kinds of damage to the previous qualities of vision.
**Eightfold Experience of Sātāvedanīya and Asātāvedanīya Karma:**
The text mentions eight types of experiences of both **sātāvedanīya** and **asātāvedanīya** karma. The causes of these experiences are the same as those related to **jñānāvaraṇīyakarma**.
**The nature of the eightfold experience of sātāvedanīya karma:**
1. The attainment of pleasing sounds of veṇu, vīṇā, etc.
2. The attainment of pleasing forms.
3. The attainment of pleasing fragrances like perfume, sandalwood, fruits, etc.
4. The attainment of pleasing, delicious tastes.
5. The attainment of pleasing touches.
6. The experience of happiness in the mind.
7. Pleasantness in speech, whose mere sound produces delight in the ears and mind.
8. Pleasantness of the body.
These eight types of experiences arise from the arising of **sātāvedanīyakarma**.
**Parinimittaka Sātāvedanīyakarma Udaya:**
When one consumes (veda) one or many pudgalas like a garland, sandalwood, etc., or when one consumes (veda) pudgala-parināma in the form of food according to the country, time, age, and stage, or when one consumes (veda) the desired pudgala-parināma as needed to counteract the experience of cold, heat, wind, etc. of pudgalas by nature, which brings about mental tranquility and happiness, this is the experience of **sātāvedanīyakarma** arising from the arising of **parinimittaka sātāvedanīyakarma**.
As a result of **sātāvedanīyakarma**, one experiences **sātā-sukha** (pleasantness). When **sātāvedanīyakarma** arises spontaneously, sometimes one experiences **sukha-sātā** (pleasantness) even without pleasing sounds, etc. (parinimitta). For example, when a Tīrthankara Bhagavān is born, even the naraka jīvas experience pleasantness for a short time.
