[The ninth (1) Prakṣiti-samkrama is not possible in case of original
prakritis like jñānāvarana ete. But in case of characteristics which are acquired later on, mutual transition does take place, even though they are not different from their
respective original characteristics. (2) Four varieties of the characteristics of ayrh, and the
infatuations of darśana and curitra (right conduc!) are exceptions to the above rule. In spite of these prakritis being a-bhinna from thelr respective original praksitis, they do not undergo mutual transition. There are 47 uttara-prakṣitis which undergo mutual transition. They are enumerated as follows:-5 types of jnõuāvaranas, 9 types of darśariāvaranas, 16 types of dullness; perversion, fear, contempt, the characteristic of lustre, the karmaņa characteristic; A characteristics of colour etc; one that is neither too long nor too short; characteristics of destruction and construction; and 5 types of obstruction (antarāya).
All these 47 uttara-prakı itis of definite bandha, always undergo mutual transition e. g., out of five types of prāuāvaranas noted above, the śruti-jñānāvarana could be transformed into mati-jñānāvarana and vice versa.
In case of other praksites that have not been actually bound up, one that has to proper bandha may be transformed into one having proper bandha, but the process does not work vice versa, i. e, a prakriti of proper bandha, does not change nto a prakriti without bandha
This is the process of prakiitt-samkrama. The process of transition in case of other pradeśas etc is understood from he sentence:
“Mula prakṣityabhiuuāsu védyamānāsu samkramah bhavati" tc. implying that when they are known to be similar to the riginal prakritis, they undergo transformation 391 11 (1939)
