Kashaya Moral impurities. The fourth head ( Mohaniya) of Karma is divided according to the Jain texts into two kinds of forces: (1) Darshana Mohaniya which brings on delusion and vacillation ; (2) Chāritra Mohaniya which brings on Kashāya or moral impurities tending to destory the purity of Soul. These Kashāyas are deceit, pride, anger and greed. Each of these four Kashāyas takes four forms according to its intensity, duration of time and mode of life.
(1) Anantanubandhi :-In this most intensified state the Karma results in endless births and deaths. It would last for the whole life; the Jiva becomes the denizen of hell. Right knowledge, right belief, and right conduct are impeded.
(2) Apratyākhyānā State :-The duration is for one year. The Jiva has to take birth in the Animal Kingdom.
It prevents ( Deshayirati ) the observance of the miņor vows by a house-holder.
