CHAPTER-VII

And wherein the dispositions of Jivas of the same moments are of uniform purity only and are not of different degrees of purity - such state of dispositions is called Anivritti-Karana. The dispositions of all Jivas in the first moment of this Karana are necessarily identical; similarly all Jivas of the second, etc. moments also have identical purity of dispositions. Further, the purity of dispositions of all Jivas of second, etc. moments are always with infinite times more purity than the Jivas of the first moments.
In this way, one should know these three stages of Karanas?.
There, the duration of Adhah-Karana is one Antar-Muhurta wherein four essentials take place:(i)moment after momentinfinite times more purity arises, (ii) the duration of fresh karmic bondage goes on decreasing by one Antar-Muhurta at every moment, this is Sthiti-Bandhaapasarana (reduction in duration of bondage), (iii) the fruition of auspicious Prakritis (karmas) goes on increasing by infinite times more at every moment and (iv) the fruition-bondage of inauspicious Prakritis goes on decreasing by infinite part at every moment; thus the four essentials take place.
Thereafter, Apoorva-Karana starts. Its duration is a fractional numerical part of the period of Adhah-karana. Here also the aforesaid four essentials take place :(i) whatever was the duration of the existing past karmas, he decreases it by one-one Antar-Muhurta every moment, this is Sthiti Kandak-Ghata (destruction of duration bondage); (ii) further he decreases the fruition of the existing past karmas by one-one Antar-Muhurta of lesser time than the earlier one; this is Anubhaga Kandak-Ghata (destruction of fruition bondage) and (iii) in the period of Guna-Shreni (dissociation of old karmas in increasing geometrical progression) he causes innumerable fold times of karmas' stock to become suitable for dissociation (Nirjara); this is Guna Shrèni Nirjara. And Guna-Sankramana (transformation of Prakritis into one another) does not occur here, but occurs at some other place in Apoorva-Karana. 1. एगसमए वताणं जीवाणं परिणामेहि ण विज्जदे णियट्ठी णिवित्ती जत्य ते
