## First Karma Text
**67**
**Samyaktvamohaniya:** A karma whose arising, though caused by a desire for the true nature of things, restricts the true desire that is either *aupashamik* (temporary) or *kshayik* (destructive) is called *Samyaktvamohaniya*. Although this karma, due to its purity, does not obstruct the true nature of things, it prevents the attainment of *Samyaktv* (right knowledge) which is *aupashamik* and *kshayik* in nature. It also creates doubt in the contemplation of subtle substances, leading to impurities in *Samyaktv*.
**Mishramohaniya:** This is also called *Samyaktv-Mithyatvamohaniya*. A karma whose arising causes the living being to remain in a fluctuating state, neither truly desiring nor disliking the reality, is called *Mishramohaniya*. Due to its arising, the living being neither develops a desire for the true nature of things nor a dislike for the untrue. This desire should be understood as similar to the taste of a mixture of earth and clay.
**Mithyatvamohaniya:** A karma whose arising prevents the living being from desiring the true nature of things is called *Mithyatvamohaniya*. Due to the arising of this karma, the living being does not follow the path of omniscience but instead walks on its opposite path. It remains alienated from the right path, does not have faith in the true nature of things like the living being and non-living being, and is unable to contemplate its own benefit and harm. It considers benefit as harm and harm as benefit.
The *pudgal* (matter) of *Mithyatvamohaniya* has a *sarvaghati* (all-destroying) taste. This taste has four types: *ekasthānak*, *dvisthānak*, *tristhānak*, and *chatusthānak*. Their explanation is as follows: If one takes one kilogram of juice from neem or sugarcane, then its original natural taste is called *ekasthānak*. But when this one kilogram of juice is mixed with other tastes, it is called *dvisthānak*.
