The **Kasayapahuḍasutta** is known as **Prakriti-Samkrame** (Transformation of Nature). It is like the transformation of **Sata-vedaniya** (perceptible) into **Asata-vedaniya** (imperceptible). The change in the state of **Vivakshita Karma** (intended karma) due to its consequences, becoming less or more intense, or transforming into another state of nature, is called **Sthiti-Samkrame** (Transformation of State). The transformation of **Sata-vedaniya** and other natures, which had the power to give happiness, etc., to a particular species, into a less intense state or into another section of nature, is called **Anubhaga-Samkrame** (Transformation of Section). The transformation of the **Karma-Prakriti** (karma-nature) into other nature-based regions, according to the division of the **Karma-Paramanu** (karma-atoms) that have arrived at the intended time, is called **Pradesha-Samkrame** (Transformation of Region). This chapter discusses in detail the four types of **Moha-Karma** (karma of delusion) through many **Anuyoga** (methods of study).
The **Vedaka-Adhikara** (Chapter on Perception) describes the **Vedana** (perception) or **Phalanubhavana** (experience of results) of **Mohaniya Karma** (karma of delusion) in this chapter. Karma gives its results through **Udaya** (arising) and **Udirana** (stimulation). The giving of results of karma at a definite time according to the state is called **Udaya**. And the giving of results before the definite time, due to special means, is called **Udirana**. For example, the ripening of a fruit on a branch and its falling at the right time is **Udaya**. And picking the fruit before it ripens and keeping it in a basket, etc., so that it ripens much earlier than its time, is **Udirana**. Both of these are of four types each, based on the difference in nature, state, section, and region. All of these are described in detail in the **Prakriti Adhikara** (Chapter on Nature) through many **Anuyoga**.
The **Upayoga-Adhikara** (Chapter on Utilization) describes the occurrence of the results of a being's **Krodha** (anger), **Mana** (pride), **Maya** (delusion), etc., as **Upayoga** (utilization). This chapter describes the utilization of the four **Kshaya** (passions) and explains how long the **Udaya** of one **Kshaya** lasts for a being, which **Kshaya** arises repeatedly in beings of which **Gati** (realm), how many times the **Udaya** of one **Kshaya** occurs in one **Bhavana** (existence), and how long the **Udaya** of one **Kshaya** lasts for? Are the beings who are affected by a particular **Kshaya** at the present time, affected by the same **Kshaya** in the past, and will they be affected in the future? This **Upayoga-Adhikara** discusses many such **Jnatavya** (knowable) things about **Kshaya** in a very scientific way.
The **Chatur-Sthana-Adhikara** (Chapter on Four Locations) divides the **Ghatiya Karma** (destructive karma) into four locations based on the power of giving results: **Lata** (creeper), **Daru** (wood), **Asthi** (bone), and **Shaila** (rock). They are called **Eka-Sthana** (one location), **Dvi-Sthana** (two locations), **Tri-Sthana** (three locations), and **Chatur-Sthana** (four locations) respectively. This chapter describes the four locations of the four **Kshaya** (passions), hence the name **Chatur-Sthana**. It explains that **Krodha** (anger) is of four types: like a **Papaana-Rekha** (line on a stone), like a **Prithvi-Rekha** (line on earth), like a **Valu-Rekha** (line on sand), and like a **Jala-Rekha** (line on water). Just as a line drawn in water disappears immediately, and lines drawn on sand, earth, and stone disappear progressively over longer periods, similarly, there are four types of locations of **Krodha**, which are overcome by **Upshama** (pacification) over different periods. Similarly, this chapter describes the four locations of **Mana** (pride), **Maya** (delusion), and **Lobha** (greed). In addition, it discusses which location is superior to which, which location is **Kshi-Sthana** (destructive location), and which location is **Desha-Ghati** (nation-destroying location)? Are all locations present in all **Gati** (realms), or is there some difference? Which location's experience leads to the binding of which location, and which location's binding does not occur without the experience of which location, etc.? This chapter discusses many such profound **Siddhanta** (theoretical) things.
