Higher and lower—these are the two sub-types of gotra. 13.
Those pertaining to donation etc.-these are the five subtypes of antarāya. 14.
The Five Sub-types of the Jñānavarana-karma and the Nine Sub-types of the Darśanavaraṇa-karma : .
The five jñāna-types like mati, śruta etc. and the four darśana-types like cakṣurdarśana etc. have already been described. Now the karmas possessing the nature of concealing one of them are respectively called matijñānāvaraņa, śrutajñānāvarana, avadhijñānāvarana, manahparyāyajñānāvaraņa, kevalajñānāvarana these being the five sub-types of jñānāvarana-and cakşurdarsanāvaraņa, acakşurdarśanāvarana, avadhidarśanāvarana, kevaladarsanāvaraņa these being the four subtypes of darśanāvaraṇa. Besides these four there are five more subtypes of darśanāvarana and as follows: 1. The karma whose manifestation brings about the type of sleep from which one can be easily awakened is called nidrāvedaniya. 2. The karma whose manifestation brings about the type of sleep from which one can be wakened with difficulty is called nidrānidrāvedaniya. 3. The karma whose manifestation brings about the type of sleep which overtakes one while sitting or standing is called pracalāvedaniya. 4. The karma whose manifestation brings about the type of sleep which overtakes one while walking is called pracalāpracalāvedaniya. 5. The karma whose manifestation brings about the type of sleep when one comes to possess the energy enabling one to accomplish a task thought of during the waking state is called styānagrddhi; (during such a sleep one comes to possess many times more efficient energy than one does during the waking state). 7-8.
The Two Sub-types of the Vedanīyakarma :
(1) The karma whose manifestation makes a being experience pleasure is called sātavedaniya.
