It therefore is classified into eight main groups: 1 - karma that obstructs access to the five channels of knowl edge (jnana-varana) 2 - karma that prevents insight and understanding (darshana varana) 3 - karma that determines our feeling of life (vedaniya) 4 - karma that causes delusion (mohaniya) 5 - karma that determines the duration and place of future embodiment(s) (ayu) 6 - karma that determines form and features of our body (nama) 7 - karma that determines our status in our social environment (gotra) 8 - karma that causes obstruction in life (antaraya).
