Specific Meaning:
The being who initiates the destruction of the Charitra-mohaniya (Deluding) karma is called the 'Prasthapaka' (Initiator). Regarding him, four verses are composed, starting from 'Sankamayapattavayassa parinamo kerisso have' up to 'Kintividiyani kammani'. The being who destroys the Charitra-mohaniya is called 'Sankramaka' (Transitioner) in the ninth Gunasthana (Spiritual Stage) after the internal transformation. Regarding him, four verses are composed, starting from 'Sankamanapatthava' up to 'Bandho va sankamo va udayo va'. The diminution of the state of Charitra-moha is called Apavartana (Regression). Regarding this, three verses are composed, starting from 'Ki antaramkareto' up to 'Hidi anubhage amse'. The breaking up of the Kashayas (Passions) is called Krishtikara (Ploughing). Regarding this, eleven verses are composed, starting from 'Kevadiakittio' up to 'Kittikadammi kamme ke vicara du mohaniyassa'.
In the destruction of the Krishtis (Ploughings), there are four verses. Regarding the Kshina-moha (Destruction of Delusion), Vitaraga (Passionless), and Chadmastha (Partial Realizer), there is one verse. Regarding the Samgrahani (Compendium), there is one verse. Thus, in total, there are twenty-eight verses composed in the fifteenth Artha-adhikara (Topical Section) named Charitra-moha-kshapana (Destruction of Deluding Karma).
Specific Meaning:
The four verses that expound the destruction of the twelve Krishtis (Ploughings) of the four Samjvalana (Flaming) Kashayas (Passions) are from 'Kim vedeto kitti khavedi' up to 'Kittido kitti puna'. The verse 'Khinnesu kasayesu ya sesanam' is regarding the Kshina-moha (Destruction of Delusion). The verse 'Sankamanamovatthana' is the Samgrahani (Compendium) that summarizes the entire Adhikara (Topic). Thus, the total of these verses is twenty-eight (4+4+3+11+4+1+1=28). When these twenty-eight verses on the Destruction of Charitra-moha are added to the previously mentioned sixty-four verses, the total becomes ninety-two.
To indicate how many of these twenty-eight verses on the Destruction of Charitra-moha are Sutragatha (Aphoristic Verses) and how many are Asutragatha (Non-Aphoristic Verses), the Acharya (Teacher) states two Gatha-sutras (Verse Aphorisms).
