## The Fivefold Path (Panchakarmapath)
The **Panchakarmapath** is a process that eliminates an innumerable amount of karmas and continues even after attaining **Samyaktva** (right faith). This is the first **guna-shreni** (quality series) called **Samyaktva**. Compared to the other **guna-shreni**, this series has a slower purification process at the time of attaining **Samyaktva**. Therefore, it creates fewer **karma-dalikas** (karma particles) than the other series, but the duration of their experience is longer. However, it should be understood that the number of **karma-dalikas** is greater and the time is shorter compared to the state before attaining **Samyaktva**. This first **guna-shreni** called **Samyaktva** can be considered the seed of **karma-nirjara** (karma elimination).
After attaining **Samyaktva**, when the soul partially practices **virati** (restraint), the second **guna-shreni** called **desha-virati** (partial restraint) arises. In this series, the number of **karma-dalikas** created is innumerably greater than the first series, and the time of experience is innumerably less.
When the soul practices complete **virati**, the third **guna-shreni** arises. This series is infinitely purer than **desha-virati**. Therefore, the number of **karma-dalikas** created in this series is innumerably greater than the previous one, but the time of their experience is innumerably less.
When the soul detaches from **ananta-anubandhi kshaya** (infinitely connected passions), meaning all the **karma-dalikas** of **ananta-anubandhi kshaya** are transformed into other forms of passions, the fourth **guna-shreni** arises.
When the three natures of **darshan-mohaniya** (knowledge-obscuring karma) - **Samyaktva**, **Samyag-mithyatva** (partially right and partially wrong faith), and **mithyatva** (wrong faith) - are destroyed, the fifth **guna-shreni** called **darshan-mohaniya kshapan** (destruction of knowledge-obscuring karma) arises.
In the eighth, ninth, and tenth **guna-sthana** (stages of spiritual progress), when **charitra-mohaniya** (conduct-obscuring karma) is pacified, the sixth **guna-shreni** called **charitra-mohaniya upashman** (pacification of conduct-obscuring karma) arises.
