## Gommatasar Karmakanda-432
"It is not possible to diminish or enhance it, but it is possible to diminish or enhance it; such a Pradeshgra is called Niti."
**Explanation:**
"Jan pade sagam okkaddihu go sakam, ukkaddi, no savam, annapayadin sankami, no sakam, udaye dadu no sakkam tan pade saggam nikachidam nam."
**Meaning:** A karma Pradeshgra that cannot be diminished, cannot be enhanced, cannot be transformed into another nature, and cannot be given in the form of an uday, is called Nikachit.
"Jan pade sagam ya saktama okavidumu ukkadvidumu annapayadisankamedu muudaye datum va tan nikachidam nam."
**Meaning:** A Pradeshgra that cannot be diminished or enhanced, cannot be transformed into another nature, and cannot be given in the form of an uday, is called Nikachit.
"Jan pun kammam chadu nnabhedesi udyaadinam appaoggham hodu navahan painnam tassa tahavatthanalakkhanno pajayaviseso nikachanakaranam nam."
**Meaning:** The specific category of the state of a karma that is not eligible for these four (Udirana, Sankraman, Utkarashan, Apkarashan) and is bound by the promise of the state, is called Nikachanakaran.
**Further Explanation:**
The text then goes on to describe the nature of the ten karans (actions) in the context of karma-prakritis (types of karma) and guna-sthans (stages of spiritual progress).
"Sankamanakaranuna, navakaranna hoti savva aounnam. Sesanan dasakaranna, apuvvakarannoti dasakaranna." (441)
**Meaning:** There are nine karans in all four ayus (lifetimes) without Sankramanakaran (transitional action), because the four ayus do not transform into each other. In all other karmas that are capable of binding, there are ten karans, and from Mithyatva (false belief) to the Apurvakaran guna-sthan (stage of spiritual progress), all ten karans are found.
"Aadimasatteva tado, suhamakasaotti sankame na vina. Chhach sajogitti tado, sattam udayam ajogitti." (442)
**Meaning:** From the Apurvakaran guna-sthan onwards, up to the Sukshm Samprayay guna-sthan, the first seven karans are found without Upshant, Nidhatti, and Nikachit karans, because these three karans are broken by the results of the Anivritti karans (actions that do not lead to liberation). Sankraman, Upshant, Nidhatti, and Nikachit karans are not found in the first seven karans.
