(It goes. This karma-udaya is of two types - (1) Pradesh-udaya and (2) Vipaka-udaya.
The karma whose fruition occurs only in the realms is called Pradesh-udaya, and the karma which gets destroyed after giving auspicious-inauspicious fruits is called Vipaka-udaya. The Vipaka-udaya of karma obstructs the qualities of the soul and contributes to the new karma-bandha. Whereas Pradesh-udaya does not have the capacity to bind new karma, nor does it cover the soul's qualities. Even when the soul's qualities are covered by karma, some parts of them always remain uncovered, which makes the soul's existence known. Even when the karma-avarana become dense, they do not have the capacity to make the soul non-soul, the conscious inert. The process of karma-kshaya
The Jain philosophy, like the binding and rising of karma, also has a process of karma-kshaya, which is complex and serious. When the situation is ripe, karma falls off after changing its form during the karma-udaya period. This is the natural decay of karma. In this, the flow of the tradition of karma is not destroyed. The previous karma is destroyed, but at the same time, the binding of new karma continues. This is not the real process of karma-kshaya. To destroy karma specifically, so that the soul can become free from karma, special efforts have to be made. These efforts are made through means like restraint, penance, renunciation, etc. Up to the seventh gunasthan called Aprammat-samyata, karma-kshaya takes place specifically through the said means, and after the attainment of the eighth Apurvakarana gunasthan, when the soul's power becomes mature, a special process takes place to destroy karma specifically. It is as follows - (1) Apurva-sthi-ghat (2) Apurva-rasa-dhat, (3) Guna-shreni, (4) Sankraman, (5) Apurva-sthi-bandha.
