**Samkramas** - **Arthaadhikār** - **Visheshārtha** - **Samkramana**
The process of transforming a karma-pradesh (field of karma) from one nature to another, with a specific intention, is called **pradesh-samkramana**. The original natures do not undergo **pradesh-samkramana**, meaning the **jnanaavaran karma** (karma that obscures knowledge) will never transform into **darshanavaran karma** (karma that obscures perception). This is self-evident. Therefore, **pradesh-samkramana** only occurs in the **uttaraprakriti** (secondary natures). However, there is no **pradesh-samkramana** between **darshanamohaniya** (karma that obscures perception) and **charitramohaniya** (karma that obscures conduct), nor between the four **ayukarma** (karma that determines lifespan).
There are five types of **pradesh-samkramana**:
1. **Udvelana-samkramana**
2. **Vidhyata-samkramana**
3. **Adhapravritta-samkramana**
4. **Guna-samkramana**
5. **Sarva-samkramana**
**Udvelana-samkramana** is the transformation of karma-pradesh atoms into another nature without the involvement of the three **karan-parinam** (causes and effects) - **adhapravritta** etc. **Udvelana** means "to unravel". Just as a well-tied rope, upon encountering a specific cause, starts to unravel and gradually becomes completely untied, similarly, some karma-pradesh, after being bound, start to unravel themselves due to a specific cause and gradually become completely untied, meaning their **pradesh** transforms into another nature. There are 13 **udvelana-prakriti** (natures that unravel). Out of these, only two **prakriti** of **mohakarma** (karma that obscures perception) unravel, the others do not. These two **prakriti** are **samyagmithyatva** (right and wrong perception) and **samyaktva** (right perception). These do not exist in the beginningless time, but when a being attains **aupashamikasamyaktva** (initial right perception) for the first time, three fragments of **mithyatva** (wrong perception) are created, and three **prakriti** come into existence in place of that one **mithyatva**. This **aupashamikasamyagdristi** (one who has initial right perception) attains **aupashamikasamyaktva** and falls back into **mithyatva** after a short time. Upon reaching the **mithyatvagunasthan** (state of wrong perception), **adhapravritta-samkramana** occurs for a short time, and then **udvelana-samkramana** begins. The duration of **udvelana-samkramana** is countless parts of a **palya** (a very short time). For this duration, it continuously unravels these two **prakriti**. The sequence is as follows:
After one **antarmuhurt** (a very short time) of reaching **mithyatva** from **aupashamikasamyaktva**, the **samyagmithyatva** and **samyaktva** **prakriti** unravel for a duration of countless parts of a **palya**. Then, it unravels for a duration of countless times that amount.
The **samyagmithyatva** and **samyaktva** **prakriti** are divided into countless parts at the same time, and they are agitated by the **seshahani** (remaining causes) in the **seḍhi** (ladder) of **parthana** (liberation).
Whatever is transformed by the last **ducharim** (bad karma), everything is unraveled by countless parts of an **angula** (finger).
For those who are not bound by **guna-bhavapacchayo** (causes of karma and rebirth), **vijjhao** (knowledge) arises. For the rest, it unravels by countless parts of an **angula**.
**Guna-samkramana** is the transformation of **avjhatigaṇa** (group of bad karma), **asubha** (unpleasant karma), and **apuvarana** (karma that prevents liberation). It occurs both when bound by **ahapavatta** (attachment) and when unbound.
