## 138] [The Twenty-Four Dandakas of the Prajnapana Sutra: The Nature of Kshaya 656.
"How many Kshayas are there, Venerable One?"
"Gautama, there are four Kshayas. They are: from Krodha Kshaya to Lobha Kshaya, and so on, up to the Vaimanika."
[959 Pr.] "Venerable One, how many Kshayas are there in the Nairyika Jivas?"
[959 U.] "Gautama, there are four Kshayas in them. They are: from Krodha Kshaya to Lobha Kshaya, and so on, up to the Vaimanika."
(In the Twenty-Four Dandaka-varti Jivas, all four Kshayas are found.)
**Discussion:** This Sutra (956) describes the presence of all four Kshayas in all worldly beings, from the Nairyika to the Vaimanika.
**The Nature of the Establishment of Kshayas:**
[960] [1] "Venerable One, on how many things is Krodha established (dependent)?"
[660-1 Pr.] "Gautama, Krodha is established on four (causes). They are: (1) Atma-prati-sthiya, (2) Para-prati-sthiya, (3) Tadubhaya-prati-sthiya, and (4) Apra-prati-sthiya."
[660-1 U.] "Gautama, Krodha is established on four (causes). They are: (1) Atma-prati-sthiya, (2) Para-prati-sthiya, (3) Tadubhaya-prati-sthiya, and (4) Apra-prati-sthiya."
[2] "And so on, from the Nairyika to the Vaimanika, there is a Dandaka."
[960-2] "And so on, from the Nairyika to the Vaimanika (in the Twenty-Four Dandaka-varti Jivas), there is a Dandaka (one should say 'Malapaka')."
[3] "And so on, there is a Dandaka for Mana, a Dandaka for Maya, and a Dandaka for Lobha."
[960-3] "And so on, there is a Dandaka for Mana, a Dandaka for Maya, and a Dandaka for Lobha (one should say 'Malapaka')."
**Discussion:** This Sutra (960-1, 2, 3) describes the establishment of the four Kshayas, Krodha, Mana, Maya, and Lobha, on four different bases.
**The Four-fold Establishment of Krodha, etc.:**
(1) **Atma-prati-sthiya Krodha, etc.:** This is when Krodha, etc., is based on oneself. This means that when a Jiva sees his own worldly misfortune (Apaya = loss) as a result of his own actions, he becomes angry, proud, deceitful, or greedy towards himself. This is Atma-prati-sthiya Krodha, etc. This Krodha, etc., is directed towards oneself.
(2) **Para-prati-sthiya:**
