अध्याय- २
The destructional (kṣāyika) disposition is of nine kinds: knowledge (jñāna), perception (darśana), gift (dāna), gain (labha), enjoyment (bhoga), re-enjoyment (upabhoga), energy (virya), and the two - belief (samyaktva) and conduct (căritra) - from the previous sūtra. The word destructional (kṣayika) must be added to each.
'Ca' is intended to include belief (samyaktva) and conduct (căritra). Perfect knowledge (kevalajñāna - kṣāyika jñāna) manifests on the total destruction of knowledge-obscuring karmas. Perfect perception (kevaladarśana - kṣayika darśana) must be understood in the same manner. On complete destruction of gift-obstructive (dānāntarāya) karmas arises the power of giving security, the gift of fearlessness, to infinite multitudes of living beings. On complete destruction of the gain-obstructive (lābhāntarāya) karmas, the Omniscient has no need for the partake of food; infinite particles of extremely pure and subtle matter, which give strength and which are beyond the reach of ordinary human beings, are assimilated in his body every instant. As the entire karmas which obstruct enjoyment (bhoga) are destroyed, there arises infinite enjoyment of unparalleled nature consequent on the destruction of karmas. Particularly, the marvels (atisaya) like the celestial shower of fragrant flowers result from this. As the obstructive karmas of re-enjoyment (upabhoga) disappear without remnant, infinite re-enjoyment is manifested. The bejeweled throne, the waving of flywhisks, three-tier canopy, and other splendours result from this. And as the karmas which obstruct energy (virya) are completely destroyed, infinite energy of the pure soul is manifested. On complete destruction of the seven subtypes of karmas referred to above, perfect belief (kṣayika samyaktva) is attained. Perfect conduct (kṣāyika caritra) must also be understood in the same way.
A doubt is raised: if the power of giving security and bestowing fearlessness, etc., are concomitant to destruction of karmas, then these should also apply to the liberated souls (the Siddha). No. These
