## The Fifth Karma Granth
### 285
It is not the case that karma is received by a specific part of the soul. To explain this, the verse states:
**"Just as a living being does not receive the karma-bundles situated in a specific area by a specific part of itself, but receives karma by all parts of the soul."**
After explaining the nature of the karma-bundles received by the living being and the process of their reception, we now clarify how the received *atra* is divided.
**"The portion of *āyus* karma is the least, the portion of *nāma* karma is equal to the portion of *gotra* karma. The portion of *antarāya*, *jñānāvaraṇa*, and *darśanāvaraṇa* is greater than the portion of *nāma* and *gotra*. The portion of *mohaniya* is greater than that, and the portion of *vedaniya* is the greatest."**
**Word meanings:**
* ***āyus*:** lifespan karma
* ***nāma*:** name karma
* ***gotra*:** lineage karma
* ***antarāya*:** obstruction karma
* ***jñānāvaraṇa*:** knowledge-obscuring karma
* ***darśanāvaraṇa*:** perception-obscuring karma
* ***mohaniya*:** delusion karma
* ***vedaniya*:** experience karma
**Explanation:**
The portion of *āyus* karma is the smallest. The portions of *nāma* and *gotra* karma are equal. The portions of *antarāya*, *jñānāvaraṇa*, and *darśanāvaraṇa* are equal to each other, but greater than the portions of *nāma* and *gotra*. The portion of *mohaniya* is greater than that, and the portion of *vedaniya* is the greatest.
**In other words:**
* Lifespan karma is the least significant.
* Name and lineage karma are equally significant.
* Obstruction, knowledge-obscuring, and perception-obscuring karma are equally significant, but more significant than name and lineage karma.
* Delusion karma is more significant than obstruction, knowledge-obscuring, and perception-obscuring karma.
* Experience karma is the most significant.
