OUTLINES OF KARMA IN JAINISM 2. Samyaktva mohantya-It induces correct belief It is not the right faith in
its completeness but only in a preliminary degree The true belief in its completeness is obtained only when the samyaktva mohaniya karma 15 entirely destroyed, as for instance, the sun which is covered by white clouds
only shines perfectly after the clouds have been removed 3. Misra mohanı ya-It produces a mixed belief having some degree of truth and
Some of falsity In other words, it causes a kind of indifference between true faith and false belief It is a mixture of both samjaktva mohaniga and mathvatva mohaniya That is why it is also called samjagmithyatua mohanna
(h) Cantra-mohanıya karma-This kind of mohanıya karma obscures right conduct which is the innate property of soul. It obstructs the soul from acting according to the right prescriptions of scriptures or any authoritative sources The obstruction of conduct is produced through the sixteen passions (kasayas) and nine quasi-passions (no-kasayas)
(1) Kasaya-There are four chief kasayas . anger (krodha), pride (mana),
deceit (maja), and greed (lobha)
Each of these is again classified into four sub-divisions according to the intensity of their nature The four sub-divisions are | Anantanubandhin-It completely hinders right belief and conduct The soul
possessing anantanubandhin anger, etc, can never have right belief and
conduct It lasts for the whole of life. 2 ApratyakhyanavaranaIt hinders partial self-discipline but allows the existence
of true belief It lasts for one year
3. Pratyakhyana varand-It obstructs the beginning of complete self-discipline or
renunciation but does not prevent the existence of right belief and partial
self-discipline It lasts for four months 4. Sanjualana-It hinders the attainment of complete right conduct (yathakhyata
carita) Its effect lasts for one fortnight.
(11) No kasaja-Quasi-passions are divided into nige categories 1 Hasya-Laughing and joking fall under this category 2 Rat-Proper or improper liking for a certian object is called Tatt 3 Arat-Proper or improper disliking for a particular thing is named
arati 4. Soka-Sorrow for an object is known as soka
