## Karmavipaka 144
Due to the influence of Gotra Karma, many beings are considered high and many are considered low. Now, we will understand the nature of Antaraya Karma.
Antaraya Karma is the karma that, upon its fruition, causes obstacles, hindrances, and impediments to a being in giving (daan), gaining (laabh), enjoying (bhog), consuming (upbhog), and in their vigor (veerya). This is also called Vighna Karma.
There are five types of Antaraya Karma: (1) Daana Antaraya, (2) Laabh Antaraya, (3) Bhog Antaraya, (4) Upbhog Antaraya, and (5) Veerya Antaraya. Their characteristics are as follows:
1. **Daana Antaraya:** When the materials for giving are present, a worthy recipient is available to receive the gift, the fruit of the donation is known, and the desire to give is present, yet the being is not motivated to give due to the fruition of this karma, it is called Daana Antaraya.
2. **Laabh Antaraya:** When the giver is generous, the object of donation is available, and the receiver is worthy, yet the being does not receive the desired object due to the fruition of this karma, it is called Laabh Antaraya.
3. **Bhog Antaraya:** When the means for enjoyment are present, yet the being cannot enjoy the objects of enjoyment due to the fruition of this karma, it is called Bhog Antaraya.
