then experienced. This process is known as the pradeshodaya rise without any impact} of the four anantaanubandhii kashaayas.
This is the reason why in the duration of kshayopashama samyaktva, the rasodaya of samyaktva mohaniiyakarma, the upashama and pradeshodaya ofthe fouranantaanubandhii kashaayas (the incessant passions of anger, arrogance, artifice and avarice), the upashama and pradeshodaya of each of mithyaatva mohaniiya karma and mishra mohaniiya karmas takes place.
Meanings:
Rasodaya {rise of the essence of}: To convert karmas to a form which may be made to rise and then experienced is known as rasodaya.
Pradeshodaya {rise without any impact}: The nature of karmas which cannot be made to rise and then experienced in its original form, but gets converted to the opposite nature and then to make them rise and experience them is known as pradeshodaya.
To understand the Kshayopashama samyaktva is like comparing to the water that is cleaned by removing lot of mud from it, but some part of mud is still present at the bottom. Such is the nature of Kshayopashama samyaktva. This type of samyaktva has three flaws, chala {impermanent}, mala {dirt} and agaadha shallow/loose/not dense).

In this sequence, the seven types of darshana saptaka {perception obstructing karmas) are annihilated completely. After that, remaining chaaritra mohaniiya karmas conduct obstructing karmas are annihilated. Thus, mohaniiya karmas are completely annihilated. Subsequently, all types of gynanaavaraniiya {knowledge obstructing karmas), darshanaavaraniiya {perception obstructing karmas} and antaraaya {imepediment causing karmas) are annihilated completely. Hence, kshaayika samyaktva is indispensable for one who wishes to attain liberation. And in order to attain kshaayika samyaktva, one has to take the kshapaka shrenii. Even a soul in the 4th or 5th gunasthaanaka can take the
