A.VIII.22.2
What is meant by own nature's experience?
The karmas ripening for fruition in the same category (e.g. knowledge obscuring ripening to yield effects of knowledge obscuring karmas only and not of feeling etc karmas) as they were bonded is called own nature's experience.
What is meant by other's nature experience?
The karmas ripen for fruition in the different species than the one they were bonded due to other's nature is called other's nature experience (e.g. transformation is possible between any two sub species of the same main type of karma except life span determining karmas; conduct and faith deluding karmas yielding results due to other's nature is possible).
Which species of the karma can yield experience by own nature? All species yield experience due to their own nature only. Lifespan determining karmas; conduct and faith deluding karmas yield experience due to their own nature alone. The fruition of sub- human and human life is not possible from infernal life. Similarly conduct deluding karmas cannot yield experience of faith deluding karmas and vice versa.
Which species of karmas can yield experience of other's nature? Except lifespan determining karmas, conduct and faith deluding karmas; all sub species of same type of karmas can produce experience of other sub species nature.

(The nature of) fruition is according to the names of the karmas.
What is the nature of results / experience from rise/ripening of the karmas?
The nature of experience is similar to the name of the karma species e.g. knowledge obscuring karma will only cover the manifestation of knowledge.
What is the experience on fruition produced by knowledge obscuring karmas?
The knowledge obscuring karma is of five sub types. Each sub type produces lack of complete or partial knowledge of the same type. The primary result of knowledge obscuring karmas is to weaken the knowledge manifestation attribute of the soul.
