## Verse 283
The four kṣayās, namely anantānubandhi, pratyākhyāna, pratyākhyāna, and sanjvalana, destroy samyaktva, deśachāritra, sakalachāritra, and yathāsyāt chāritra respectively. Therefore, the names of these kṣayās are also meaningful according to their destructive nature.
## Commentary
**Doubt:** How can the anantānubandhi kṣayā be destructive of samyagdṛṣṭi? It is the nature of chāritramohaniya karma, so it can be destructive of chāritraguṇa. Mithyātva-prakriti is destructive of samyagdṛṣṭi.
**Solution:** Vipṛta-grahiniveśa is mithyātva, and it arises from both mithyātva-prakriti and anantānubandhi kṣayā-prakriti. The rise of sāśādana guṇasthāna is found. Therefore, both types of ignorance (mithyājñāna) are possible there.
**Doubt:** What is sāśādana?
**Solution:** Sāśādana is the negation of samyaktva. One who is endowed with this negation is called sāśādana. One whose samyagdṛṣṭi has been destroyed by the rise of anantānubandhi kṣayā, but who has not attained the results of mithyātva in the form of mithyātva karma, but is still facing mithyātva karma, is called sāśādana.
**Doubt:** Sāśādana is neither samyaktva, nor mithyātva, nor a mixture of both. Therefore, sāśādana guṇasthāna is not possible.
**Solution:** This is not the case, because vipṛta-abhiniveśa, i.e., vipṛta-abhiprāya, remains in sāśādana guṇasthāna, therefore it is considered as asaddṛṣṭi.
**Doubt:** If this is the case, then it should be called mithyādṛṣṭi. It is not appropriate to give it the name sāśādana.
**Solution:** No, because the vipṛta-abhiniveśa arising from the rise of anantānubandhi kṣayā, which restricts samyagdṛṣṭi and chāritra, is found in the second guṇasthāna. Therefore, the mithyādṛṣṭi belonging to the second guṇasthāna is mithyādṛṣṭi. But the vipṛta-abhiniveśa arising from the rise of mithyātva karma is not found, therefore it is not called mithyādṛṣṭi. Only sāśādana is called samyagdṛṣṭi.
**Doubt:** According to this statement, when it is sāśādana guṇasthānavarti praśasti, then why is it not given the name mithyādṛṣṭi?
