## Karmagrantha Part Four
In Sarvarthasiddhi and in the transfer of Gommatasara, the tendency of yoga influenced by the rise of kṣaya is called 'leśyā'. Although this statement suggests that leśyā exists only up to the tenth guṇasthāna, it is not contradictory to the previous statement because it is a relative statement. The previous statement only regulates the result that is the cause of the bondage of the nature-region, in the form of leśyā, while this statement expands the result that is the cause of all four bondages, including the state section, etc., in the form of leśyā, not just the result that is the cause of the bondage of the nature-region. For example:
• "The tendency of yoga influenced by the rise of kṣaya, which is the cause of emotion, is called audayiki." Sarvarthasiddhi - Chapter 2, Sutra 6.
"Yoga-patti leśśā, kṣaya udyārañjiyā ho. Tat-to doṣṇaṁ kajje, gandha-cakkra samuddi

- Jīvakāṇḍa
The consideration of the color, smell, etc. of dravya-leśyā and the consideration of the characteristics, etc. of bhāva-leśyā are in Uttaragadhyāna, B. 34. For this, there is prajñāpanā - leśyāpada, necessary, lokāprakāśa, etc. in the Ākāra Grantha, Śvetāmbara literature. The first example of the two mentioned above is in Jīvakāṇḍa, G. 506-507. To know some special things about leśyā, it is worth seeing the leśyā-mārga-gādhikāra (P. 486-555) of Jīvakāṇḍa.
The indicator or consideration of the impurity and purity of the inner feelings of beings, as it is in Jain scriptures. Something similar to this is the division of six castes in the opinion of Mangali Gosal Putra, which is done on the basis of six colors, like black and blue, based on the purity and impurity of karma. This is described in the "Dīva Nikāya - Sāmaphala-sutta". There are also six jīva-varṇa in the "Mahabharata" 12.286, which are somewhat similar to the above idea.
There is also such an idea in "Pātañjala Yoga Darshan" 4.7; because in it, by dividing karma into four parts, the purity and impurity of the feelings of beings are separated. For this, see the Marathi translation of Doṣa-nikāya, p. 56.
