## Gumastahan/15
From the arising of the nature of Samyaktv, Vedak Samyaktv (Kshayopa-sham-Sampattv) arises. Thus, Vedak Samyaktv is the state of Kshayopa-shamik, therefore, merely from the arising of the nature of Samyaktv, Vedak Samyaktv (Kshayopa-sham Samyaktv) arises. Vedak Samyaktv is the designation of the decay of its competitors, because they lack the power to restrict Samyag Darshan. The absence of the arising of both the natures of Mithyatv and Mith is called Up-sham. Due to the arising of both Shay and Up-sham mentioned above, it is Kshayopa-mik.
It has been stated in the 'Gatha Ke Karya Dwar' that until the fourth Gunasthan called Aviral Padashti, there is no Charitra, because in these four Gunasthanas, there is Asan-yat due to the intense arising of Karmas that destroy Samyam, i.e., due to the arising of the fourfold A-pratyakhyana Avarana Kshayas, there is Asan-yat, therefore, Asan-yat is Praudayik.
In the Gunasthanas starting from Denasan-yat, the statement of the Bhavas is as follows: "Desavirat, Pramat San-yat, in these, there is Kshayopa-mik Bhava." Thus, Charitra-mohaniya Karma is destroyed, and there is a state of being filled with Charitra.
From the seventh Gunasthan onwards, in the Up-sham श्रेणी (series) of the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh Gunasthanas, there is Propa-gamik Bhava for those who have overcome Charitra-mohaniya Karma, i.e., those who have overcome the Charitra-mohaniya Karma. And in the Kshapak श्रेणी (series) of the eighth, ninth, tenth, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth Gunasthanas, and also in the Siddhas, there is Kshayik Bhava by rule.
**Special Meaning:**
What is the nature of San-yat, San-yat, Pramat San-yat, and A-pramat San-yat? It is Kshayopa-mik Bhava, because when the Charitra-mohaniya Karma (Desh-ghati competitors) called Kshayopa-sham arises, San-yat San-yat (Desavirat), Pramat San-yat, and A-pramat San-yat arise, therefore, all three are Kshayopa-shamik Bhavas.
The fourfold Pratyakhyana Avarana Kshayas, the fourfold Sajwalan Kshayas, and the nine Nav-no Kshayas lack the power to destroy Charitra in all ways, therefore, their arising is called Kshay. The absence of covering the Charitra arising from the arising of those very natures is called Up-sham.
Or, all-destroying competitors become inferior in infinite qualities and become transformed into Desh-ghati competitors and arise. The lack of infinite qualities in those all-destroying competitors is Kshay, and their transformation into Desh-ghati competitors is Up-sham. The arising combined with those Kshay and Up-sham is Kshayopa-sham. The Pramat San-yat and A-pramat San-yat arising from this Kshayopa-sham are also Kshayopa-shamik.
