By adding the word "karma" at the end of each karma with its vipaka, the full name of that karma is formed. For example, jnanaavaranakarma, darshanavaranakarma, etc.
The reason for classifying countless karma-effects into these eight parts is so that the inquisitive person can easily understand the karma-theory. The characteristics of the eight karmas, jnanaavaranakarma, etc., are as follows:
(1) The karma that covers the jnana-guna of the soul is called jnanaavaranakarma.
(2) The karma that covers the darshanaguna of the soul is called darshanavaranakarma.
(3) The karma by which the jiva experiences worldly sensory pleasure and pain is called vedaniya karma.
(4) The karma that hinders the jiva in self-awareness and self-absorption, or the karma that destroys the samyaktva and charitra-guna of the soul, is called mohaniyakarma.
(5) The karma due to whose existence the jiva lives and due to whose destruction the jiva dies is called aayuhkarma.
(6) The karma due to whose rise the jiva is addressed by names like narak, tiryanch, manushya, dev, etc., is called namakarma.
(7) The karma that causes the jiva to be born in a high or low family, or the karma due to whose rise the jiva develops a sense of respect or disrespect, and the jiva is called high or low, is called gotrakarma.
