## Karmagrantha - The Path of Four
Now, the emergence of Mithyatva (false belief) is discussed. However, it does not hinder the outcome of Samyaktva (right belief); because it is only the emergence of the dull Dalikas (karmic particles) that is being discussed. Just as the dull Dalikas, which are weak in their Rasa (taste), do not have their poison emerge when the Gunas (qualities) are not destroyed, similarly, the emergence of dull Dalikas cannot be considered as a possibility for the destruction of the Gunas. See the commentary on the 11th Gunasthan in the Pancha Sangrah, Chapter 1, verse 15.
(5) The synonym for Kshayopa-shama (destruction and pacification) is "Shayopa-shaamik" and the synonym for Upa-shama (pacification) is "Aupa-shaamik". Therefore, to understand the true nature of any "Baya-opashik" and "Aupa-shaamik" state, it is essential to first understand the nature of Kshayopa-shama and Upa-shama. Hence, its nature is described according to the scriptural process...
In Upa-shama, there are two... Mama Ma. The word "Kshayopa-shama" means both the destruction and pacification of Karma. The meaning of destruction is the severance of the specific connection of Karma with the soul, and the meaning of pacification is the Karma remaining attached to the soul in its own form, but not affecting it. This is the general meaning; however, its technical meaning is slightly different. When the Bandhavali (bondage) is complete, and the Upa-shama of a particular Karma begins, then the Dalikas from the present time to the Avali (period of bondage), which are carried by the Udayatralika (path of emergence) or Udiran Dalikas (emerging Dalikas), are destroyed (non-existence) through Pradesh-o-thama (emergence) and Vipaka-o-dya (fructification). And the Dalikas which are not eligible to emerge from the present time to the Avali, which are called Upayavali-bahit (not carried by the path of emergence) or Anudiran Dalikas (non-emerging Dalikas), undergo Upa-shama (lack of ability to fructify or transformation from the three Rasas to the weak Rasa). As a result, when these Dalikas obtain their Udayavali (path of emergence), their Pradesh-o-dya or weak Vipaka-o-dya becomes weak, meaning they cannot or only minimally manifest their fruit on the soul.
Thus, the destruction of the Karma Dalikas that emerge until the end of the Avali through Pradesh-o-dya and Vipaka-o-dya, and the lack of ability to fructify or the transformation of the three Rasas into the weak Rasa of the Karma Dalikas that are eligible to emerge after the Avali, is called Kshayopa-shama.
Karma eligible for Kshayopa-shama: Kshayopa-shama does not occur for all Karmas; it only occurs for Ghatikarma (destructive Karmas). There are two types of Ghatikarma: Desha-vaatik (local) and Sarva-ghati (universal). There is some difference in their Kshayopa-shama.
(a) When the Kshayopa-shama of Desha-vaatik Karma begins, then...
