Gommatasara Karmakanda-758: Adhapravrtta, Apurvakarana and Anivrttikarana are the three karana (causes) which are in the form of purification. Of these, the first Adhapravrttakarana is done by the Jiva (soul) who is in the Satishya Aprammatta Gunasthan (state of being). Here, the name Karana is the result. Further, the definition of Adhapravrttakarana is explained by the following verse:
"Jamha Uvarimbhaava, Hetthimbhaavehin Sarisaga Hoti.
Tamha Padham Karana, Adhapavatttoti Nidditum." ||898||
Meaning: Because in this first Karana, the Uvarimbhaava (result) of the present time is similar to the Hetthimbhaava (result) of the past time, therefore, the first Karana is called Adhapravrttakarana.
"Antomuttametto, Takkalo Hodi Tattha Parinama.
Loganamasankapama, Uvaruvari Sarisavahigya." ||899||
Meaning: The time of this Adhapravrttakarana is Antarmuhurta (a very short period of time). In that time, there are countless results for the Jiva, and these results increase progressively from the first time to the last time, in the form of Samavridhi (accumulation).
Special Meaning: By establishing a line of Antarmuhurta-length times in an upward direction, and by presenting the form of the results that are suitable for those times, we can see that in Adhapravrttakarana, the results suitable for the Jivas of the first time are countless. The results suitable for the Jivas of the second time are also countless. In this way, the measure of the results related to Adhapravrttakarana should be presented until the last time of the Adhapravrttakarana period. The results suitable for the second time of Adhapravrttakarana are significantly more than the results suitable for the first time. This difference is equal to the Antarmuhurta-portion, meaning that the difference is equal to the amount obtained by dividing the measure of the results of the first time by the Antarmuhurta. The results suitable for the third time of Adhapravrttakarana are significantly more than the results suitable for the second time. In this way, this sequence should be continued until the last time of the Adhapravrttakarana period.
