## Second Karma Granth
**Verse 20:**
"The Sagavan (knowledgeable) has understood the Buchami (the nature of karma) and the Niduganto (the nature of liberation). He has also understood the Panpaksha (the two extremes) and the Naanantaraayadansan-chad (the five knowledge-obscuring, five obstruction, and four vision-obscuring karmas). He is also aware of the Sajogi Baapala (the 42 karmas that are capable of arising in the state of Saayogi Kevali)."
**Verse Meaning:**
In the state of Ksheen Kshaya (diminished passions) and Beetarag (free from attachment), there are 57 karmas that can arise in the 57th Gunasthan (state of being). These 57 karmas are present until the Dvicharam (the two extremes) time. After the end of Nidradvik (the two karmas of sleep and activity), there are only 55 karmas that can arise in the final time. The five knowledge-obscuring, five obstruction, and four vision-obscuring karmas end at the final time of the 12th Gunasthan. In the Saayogi Kevali Gunasthan, there are 42 karmas that are capable of arising.
**Special Meaning:**
The verse explains the number of karmas that can arise at the beginning of the 12th Gunasthan and the names of the karmas that end. It also explains the number of karmas that can arise in the 13th Gunasthan.
It has been previously explained that the 12th Gunasthan is attained by those who ascend the Kshapak Shreni (the series of diminishing passions). Those who ascend the Kshapak Shreni are the Vajra Rishabha Naraach Sanhanan Dharis (those who possess the Vajra Rishabha Naraach Sanhanan and Naraach Sanhanan). Therefore, the two Sanhanans (Vajra Rishabha Naraach Sanhanan and Naraach Sanhanan) end at the final time of the 11th Gunasthan. When these two karmas are removed from the 56 karmas that can arise in the 11th Gunasthan, there are 54 karmas that can arise in the 12th Gunasthan. However, these 54 karmas are present only until the Dvicharam (the two extremes) time. At the final time, the Nidradvik (the two karmas of sleep and activity) cease to arise. Therefore, excluding these two karmas, there are 52 karmas that can arise in the final time of the 12th Gunasthan.
**Note:**
Some Acharyas (teachers) believe that the Nidra (sleep) karma arises in the Upamantmoha Gunasthan (the state of almost-free from delusion). However, because it is purified, it does not arise in the Ksheenmoha Gunasthan (the state of diminished delusion).
