## [Verse 195] Explanation of the Action of the Karma-Destroying (Kshapaka) and the Knowledge of the Subtleties (Krishti)
**900.** Here, the explanation of the seventh root-verse is presented. (141) How many karma-regions, bound in one time-period, remain untouched (i.e., not yet arisen) in which situations?
How many karma-regions, bound in a lifetime, remain undisturbed in which situations? ||194||
**901.** There are four explanatory verses for this. **902.** Their explanation is as follows: (142) The karma-regions bound within the six avālis (time-periods) after the moment of inner-reflection (antarakaraṇa) are untouched by the rules (of karma).
They are untouched, bound in time, and present in all the specific situations and all the divisions (anubhāga) of the four passions (sanjvalana-kṣayā). ||195||
**Special Meaning:** The karma-regions that are not to be destroyed (abhajaniya) and are bound in the past, which were mentioned in the three root-verses, are found in all situations, from the most subtle (jighanya) to the most refined (utkṛṣṭa) state of all karmas, according to the rules. The phrase "in all divisions" should be understood to include all the dense subtleties (krishti) of the four passions (sanjvalana-kṣayā). The phrase "in all subtleties" refers to a single line (oli) of all the collected subtleties (sangraha-krishti) and their component subtleties (avayava-krishti). Therefore, one should understand that the karma-regions that are not to be destroyed (abhajaniya) and are bound in the past are found in all the infinite subtleties (krishti) that are possible in each subtlety (krishti) of the passion of anger (krodha), according to the rules. Similarly, one should know the possible situations of the karma-regions that are to be destroyed (bhajaniya) in all situations, all divisions, and all subtleties, in ascending order (ekādi-uttarkrama).
**Churnisūtra:** Now, the explanation of the seventh root-verse is presented. ||900||
**How many karma-regions, bound in one time-period, remain untouched (i.e., not yet arisen) in which situations? How many karma-regions, bound in a lifetime, remain undisturbed in which situations?** ||194||
**Meaning:** This root-verse asks about the arising (udaya) and non-arising (anudaya) of the karma-regions bound in time (samayaprabaddha) and bound in a lifetime (bhavaprabaddha) from the first moment of inner-reflection (antarakaraṇa) until the time of the karma-destroying (kṣapaka) in the higher state (uparima avasthā). The answer to this question will be given by the explanatory verses that will be mentioned later. A collection of karma-regions bound in one time-period is called a time-bound (samayaprabaddha) karma-region. A collection of karma-regions bound in many lifetimes is called a lifetime-bound (bhavaprabaddha) karma-region. The word "untouched" (achutta) means "un-touched" (aspṛṣṭa), i.e., not yet arisen. Jayadhavalakāra has also interpreted it as "undisturbed" (asankṣubdha), which means that those karma-regions whose transition is not possible, how many of them are found in which situations?
**Churnisūtra:** There are four explanatory verses for this root-verse. Their explanation is presented one by one. ||901-902||
**The karma-regions bound within the six avālis (time-periods) after the moment of inner-reflection (antarakaraṇa) are untouched by the rules (of karma). (Because they do not arise within the six avālis after inner-reflection.) They are untouched, bound in time, and present in all the specific situations and all the divisions (anubhāga) of the four passions (sanjvalana-kṣayā).** ||195||
