**First Karma Granth**
Just as a child is nurtured with great love and affection, similarly, even Naraka beings experience some happiness during the birth and other auspicious events of Tirthankaras.
Devas experience worldly pleasures in abundance, while humans experience them less. Similarly, Nigodaya beings and Narakas experience suffering in abundance, while other Tiryanch beings experience it less.
After discussing the Dhredaniya Karma, we now describe the Mohaniya Karma, which is next in order.
**The Nature of Mohaniya Karma**
The nature of Mohaniya Karma is like that of alcohol (madya). Just as an intoxicated person forgets his own identity, similarly, with the rise of Mohaniya Karma, the being loses the ability to recognize and discern his own nature and welfare. Even if he somehow gains the ability to discern his welfare, he is unable to act accordingly.
There are two types of Mohaniya Karma: (1) Darshanmohaniya and (2) Charitramohaniya.
**Darshanmohaniya** - Here, Darshan should be understood as Shraddha (faith).
1. (a) "Mohanijje nam mante! Kamme kativih panate? Goyama! Dubihe panale. Tam jaha - Dasanmohanijje va Charittamhohanijje pa."
- Prajapana. Karmabandh par 23, Ja 2 (s)
(b) "Mohanijj pi dubih dasane charane taha."
- Uttaradhyayayana A. 33, Ga.
