THE JAINA GAZETTE deluding Karma ; at the influx of the Kashaya Karma, the four Kashayas or Passions are generated in the soul. Veda-Karma is also included within the Charitra-Moha The influx of the Veda-Karma accounts for the three kinds of the Sexual feeling, found in a soul. Mithyatva or false faith is due to the influx of the Mithyatva Karma, included in the Darsana-Moha or Faith-deluding Karma. Ajnana (Oudayiku) *is want of knowledge. This is generated in the soul by the rise of Jnanavaraniya or Knowledge-obscuring Karma. Asamyama (Oudayika) is the strong inclination which is found in the soul, due to the ri e of the Kashaya or Passions.

It is needless to point out that the six Lesyas or colours of the soul, mentioned above are all due to the influx of Karma.
The Oupasamika Bhava is attained by the soul when the Karmas that destroy Right Faith and Right Conduct do not flow into it but are mitigated (Upasama). It is of two sorts in as much as it is concerned with Right Faith and Right Conduct respectively. It is to be noted here that Right Faith may be found in all the Gunasthanas or stages of development, described before, from the fourth to the eleventh and that Right Conduct is met with in the eleventh stage alone.
Karma injures the natural attributes of the Soul. The Karma which envelopes the attributes of the Soul fully, is called
