THE DOCTRINE OF KARMAN

ably to curtail what is to be said later on concerning the jivasthānas and gunasthānas. The different counting of the karmans in bandha, udaya and sattā has already been pointed out.
1. jñāna-āvarana. All 5 uttara-prakytis are always simultaneously bound. It is therefore not possible to bind only one or two of the veilings of knowledge, but, as long as the müla-prakyti can altogether be bound, the 5 uttaraprakstis of them must be bound. All 5 species are likewise always jointly existing in udaya as well as in sattā.
II. Darsana-āvarana. Three combinations are possible with bandha and sattā, namely :
9 uttara-prakrtis, i.e., all kinds of veiling of undifferentiated cognition.
6 (i.e.) the preceding ones without nidrānidrā, pracalāpracalā and styānardhi.
4 (i.e.) the preceding ones without nidrā and pracalā, that is to say, the 4 proper veilings of undifferentiated cognition alone, without the different species of unconsciousness,
Two combinations are, however, only possible at udaya, namely :
4 uttara-prakytis, i.e. the above-mentioned proper veilings of undifferentiated cognition.
5 (i.e.) the former and one of the 5 kinds of unconsciousness of the physio-psychological conditions of sleep, intensive sleep etc. More than one cannot realise itself at one time.
III. Vedaniya. Sāta and asāta exclude one another ; only one of them, therefore, can be bound, and only one of them can realise itself. In sattä, however, both of them exist until such time as one of them is annihilated (in the penultimate samaya of the 14th gunasthāna).
IV. Mohanīya. Ten combinations are possible at bandha, namely : 1 uttara-prakyti = flaming-up greed. 2 = flaming-up greed + deceitfulness. 3 = flaming-up greed + deceitfulness + pride. 4 = flaming-up greed + deceitfulness + pride + anger. 5 = 4 flaming-up passions + male sex.
9 = 4 flaming-up passions + male sex + joking and liking (disliking and sorrow) + fear + disgust,
