The first type of karma is called *granya*, the second is *dvi-sthana*, and the third is *ras*. Of these three, *mithyatva-mohaniya* is the most destructive, while the other two, *samyak-tva-mohaniya* and *mitra-mohaniya*, are less destructive.
This is how the three types of *darshan-mohaniya* are explained. Now, in the following verse, the nature of *samyak-tva-mohaniya* is described:
**Verse 5:**
*Jiya-jaya punna-pavasa sanvara-bandha-mukkha-nijjarana.
Jena sad-dhaaiyam taya samm khaiga-gaha-bahu-meyam.*
**Meaning:**
The karma that causes a being to have wrong beliefs about the self, non-self, merit, demerit, inflow, restraint, bondage, liberation, and the cycle of birth and death is called *samyak-tva-mohaniya*. It has many sub-types, such as *kshayika* and others.
**Explanation:**
The karma that causes the soul to have faith in the nine principles (jiva, ajiv, punya, papa, asrava, sanvara, nirjara, bandha, and moksha) is called *samyak-tva-mohaniya*. This means that even though this karma acts as a veil, it does not prevent the soul from having true faith in the principles.
**The Nine Principles:**
* **Jiva:** The living being.
* **Ajiv:** The non-living being.
* **Punya:** Merit.
* **Papa:** Demerit.
* **Asrava:** Inflow of karma.
* **Sanvara:** Restraint of karma.
* **Nirjara:** Exhaustion of karma.
* **Bandha:** Bondage.
* **Moksha:** Liberation.
**Characteristics of Jiva:**
A being that possesses life is called a *jiva*. There are two types of life: *dravya-pran* (physical life) and *bhava-pran* (mental life). *Dravya-pran* includes the five senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing), the three powers (body, speech, and mind), and the nine *sam-bhava-payatya* (potential for existence).
