Kasaya Pahuda Sutta [15 Charitra-moha-ksapanaadhikara Udayo]
1. For those prakritis (psychic states/dispositions) whose ksayopaśama (subsidence-cum-destruction) has not occurred, their sarvaghati (completely destructive) anubhaga (intensity of operation) arises.
2. The specific meaning is that the ksayopaśama-visesa (special subsidence-cum-destruction) of the jnanavaraniya (knowledge-obscuring) and other karmas is called laddhi (attainment). The non-attainment of the ksayopaśama-sakti (power of subsidence-cum-destruction) is called aladdhi (non-attainment).
3. The ascetic who has the most excellent ksayopaśama of mati-jnanavarana (intuitive knowledge-obscuring) and sruta-jnanavarana (scriptural knowledge-obscuring) karmas, i.e., the one who possesses the fourteen purva (ancient scriptures) of srutajnana (scriptural knowledge) and is endowed with the iddhi (psychic powers) arising from the ksayopaśama-visesa of the four mati-jnana-labdhis (intuitive knowledge-attainments) like koshtha-buddhi, bija-buddhi, sambhinna-samsroti-buddhi, and padanusaritva, experiences the desaghati (partially destructive) anubhaga of those prakritis.
4. But the one who has not attained the four mati-jnana-labdhis and in whom the ksayopaśama of even a single akshara (syllable) of the dvadasanga (twelve-fold) sruta (scripture) is yet to occur, experiences the sarvaghati (completely destructive) anubhaga of those prakritis.
5. Both types of ascetics are seen on the ksapaka-sreni (ladder of spiritual purification), so the author has indicated the udaya (arising) of the desaghati-anubhaga with the term 'laddhi' and the udaya of the sarvaghati-anubhaga with the term 'aladdhi'.
6. From this exposition, it becomes clear that the complete or most excellent ksayopaśama of the mati-jnanavarana and sruta-jnanavarana karmas can occur even before the tenth gunasthana (stage of spiritual development), but thereafter, the complete ksayopaśama of both these karmas is definitely attained, and then the ksapaka (ascetic) becomes endowed with the caturamala-buddhi-iddhi (four-fold pure intuition) and the parigrami (complete master) of the dvadasanga-sruta-jnana (twelve-fold scriptural knowledge).
7. It should also be known that as the ascetic ascends the sreni, the ksayopaśama of the mati-jnanavarana and sruta-jnanavarana karmas increases progressively, and consequently, their mati-jnana and sruta-jnana become more and more extensive and pure.
8. However, even if a ksapaka starts ascending the ksapaka-sreni possessing only the ksayopaśama of a single akshara of the entire sruta, the udaya of the sarvaghati-avarana (completely obscuring) anubhaga of these two karmas is found up to the end of the tenth gunasthana.
9. Similarly, in the case of the ksayopaśama of the avadhijnanaavarana (clairvoyance-obscuring) and other karmas during the ascent on the ksapaka-sreni, the desaghati-anubhagodaya (arising of the partially destructive intensity of operation) will be experienced if the ksayopaśama occurs, otherwise the sarvaghati-anubhagodaya (arising of the completely destructive intensity of operation) will be experienced.
10. The same principle should be understood regarding the possibility or impossibility of the ksayopaśama of the darsanavaraniya (perception-obscuring) karma's subsequent prakritis like cakshu-darsanavaraniya (eye-perception-obscuring).
11. Similarly, it should be known in the case of the antarayakarma (obstructive karma) as well. That is, the one who has attained the most excellent ksayopaśama of the antarayakarma during the ascent of the sreni and is endowed with the utkrishtamanovallabdhi (most excellent attainment of mental power), experiences the desaghati-anubhaga of the antarayakarma. But the one in whom the complete ksayopaśama has not occurred, experiences only the sarvaghati-anubhaga of it.
