Gatha 56-60
A subtle greed is the knowledge of the soul, it is like a subtle bird or a subtle insect.
It is subtle in its association, like a subtle grain of dust. || 60 ||
Gatha-artha: Just as a subtle redness remains in a washed kusumbi cloth, so too, (even after the effect of badarakshaya has been washed away), the soul is subtle in its kshaya, or subtle in its raga. This is what should be known. || 56 ||
One who is experiencing the subtle greed of a upaśamaka or kshapaka is subtle in his samparaya, and he is slightly less than the yathakyata charitra. || 6 ||
Visheshartha: The kshaya of the anivatti karan parinamas has washed away the kshaya of the rama-dha-rupa kshaya, i.e., it has made it absent. However, like a washed kusumbi cloth, a subtle raga or kshaya in the form of subtle greed remains. Due to this subtle greed, the upaśamaka or kshapaka's subtle samparaya charitra is slightly less than the yathakyata charitra.
Subtle kshaya is called subtle samparaya. Those jinas who have entered into it are subtle samparaya-sanjata, and they are in the tenth gunasthana. Both upaśamaka and kshapaka are present in them. Since there is no difference between them in terms of subtle samparaya, both upaśamaka and kshapaka have the same gunasthana. In this gunasthana, both the apurva and anivritti are present. Therefore, both these visheshanas should be added to subtle samparaya, otherwise, this gunasthana will not have any special characteristic from the previous gunasthanas.
In this gunasthana, the soul destroys many prakritis, will destroy many more in the future, and has destroyed many in the past. Therefore, it has the kshayikabhava. And it pacifies many prakritis, will pacify many more in the future, and has pacified many in the past. Therefore, it has the aupaśamikabhava.
The first time-bound subtle samparaya kshapaka has countless multi-parts of subtle krushtas. After the countless sthitikanḍakas of the sahasra have passed, the last sthitikanḍaka of the mohaniya karma is revealed. After this sthitikanḍaka is revealed, there is no further sthitighata of the mohaniya karma, because the remaining time of the subtle samparaya gunasthana is the same as the satva of the mohaniya karma, and it destroys this sthiti satva through adhasthiti.
The last time-bound subtle samparaya kshapaka has a sthitibandha of eight muhurtas for the name and gotra karma, a sthitibandha of twelve muhurtas for the vedaniya karma, and a sthitibandha of one antarmuhurta for the remaining three ghatiya karmas.
The first time-bound lobha-vedaka badara-samparaya sanjata, who has risen due to the rise of anger, has a first sthiti of two-thirds (3) of the total lobha-vedaka time. The time of the subtle samparaya sanjata is slightly less than half of this sthiti.
