## Chapter 140, Karma Granth Part Four
When the destructive natures (घातिनी प्रकृतियों) are destroyed, there is a manifestation of their results (विपाकोदय). However, when the eighteen all-destructive natures (सर्वघातिनी प्रकृतियों) are destroyed, there is no manifestation of their results. This means that the destruction of these eighteen natures is only possible when their manifestation (प्रदेशोदय) has already occurred. Therefore, it is established that the destruction of natures that manifest their results (वपाकांदयवती प्रकृतियों) is possible, but the destruction of the all-destructive natures (सर्वघातिनी) is not.
Therefore, these eighteen natures are considered to be capable of preventing the manifestation of results (विपाकोदय). This is because their inherent qualities (आवार्य गुणों) are considered to be manifested in the form of their destruction (क्षायोपशमिक स्वरुप में व्यक्त होना माना गया है), which cannot be anything other than the prevention of the manifestation of results (विपाकोदय केनिरोध के सिवाय षट नहीं सकता).
(2) **Upasham (उपशम):** The meaning of the word "Upasham" in the explanation of destruction (क्षयोपशम) is slightly different from the meaning of "Upasham" in the context of "Aupashamik" (औपशमिक). The meaning of "Upasham" in the context of destruction (क्षयोपशम) is simply the absence of the ability to manifest results (विपाकादयसम्बन्धिनी योग्यता का अभाव) or the transformation of intense flavors (तीव्र रस) into mild flavors (मन्द रस). However, the meaning of "Upasham" in the context of "Aupashamik" (औपशमिक) is the absence of both manifestation (प्रदेशोदय) and the manifestation of results (विपाकोदय). This is because the destruction of karma (कर्म का क्षय) continues during destruction (क्षयोपशम), which cannot happen without at least the manifestation (प्रदेशोदय). However, this is not the case with "Upasham" (उपवास). When karma is destroyed (कर्म का उपशम होता है), its destruction stops (उसका क्षय रुक हो जाता है), and therefore there is no need for its manifestation (प्रदेशोदय होने की आवश्यकता ही नहीं रहती). This is why the state of "Upasham" (उपशम अवस्था) is considered to be present only when the karmic particles (दलिकों) that are capable of manifesting in the inner consciousness (अन्तरकरण के अन्तर्मुहूर्त "में उदय पाने के योग्य दलिकों) are either already experienced (कुछ तो पहले ही भोग लिये जाते हैं) or are made capable of manifesting in the future (कुछ बलिक पीछे उदय पाने योग्य बना दिये जाते हैं), meaning that there is an absence of karmic particles that are capable of being experienced (वेद्य- दक्षिकों का अभाव होता है).
Therefore, the concise explanation of destruction (क्षयोपशम) and "Upasham" (उपशम) is that during destruction (क्षयोपशम), there is either the manifestation of results (विपाकोदय) or a mild manifestation of results (मन्द विपाकोदय), but during "Upasham" (उपशम), there is neither. It should be remembered that "Upasham" (उपशम) can only be of the destructive type (घाति का ही हो सकता है), but not of all destructive karmas (सो भी सब धातिकर्म का नहीं), but only of the obscuring karma (किन्तु केवल मोहनीय कर्म का अर्थात् प्रदेश और विपाक दोनों प्रकार का उदय). If the manifestation (प्रदेश) and the manifestation of results (विपाक) can be prevented, then it is only possible for the obscuring karma (मोहनीय कर्म का ही). For this, see Shri Yashvijayji's commentary on the Nandi Sutra (नन्दी, सू० की टीका, पृ० ७७), the commentary on the Karmapadiya (कम्मपयडी, टीका, पृ० १३), the Pancha Dva (पञ्च द्वा० १, गा० २९), and the commentary on the Malayagiri (मलयगिरि व्याख्या). For a detailed discussion of the nature, origin, and differences of Right Conduct (सम्यक्त्व के स्वरूप, उत्पत्ति और भेद-प्रभेदादि का सविस्तार विचार), see the Lok Pra (लोक प्र०-सर्ग ३, श्लोक ५६६-७००).
