When the five antarayas, five jñānāvaranas and four darśanāvaranas are destroyed, the being becomes a Kevala Jnani.
**Gāthārtha** (Kṣapaka Śreṇi Bālā) The infinite anubandhi kaṣāyas, mithyātva mohaniya, mithya mohaniya, samyaktva mohaniya, three āyus, ekaindriya, vikalaindriya, styānaddhitrika, udyota nāma, tiryañcadvika, narakadvika, sthāvadvika, sādhāraṇa nāma, ātapa nāma, eight (second and third) kaṣāyas, napuṣaka veda, strīveda and -
hāsyādi ṣaṭka, puruṣa veda, sanjvalana kaṣāya, two nidrāyas, five antarayas, five jñānāvaranas, four darśanāvaranas, by destroying these natures, the being becomes a Kevala Jnani.
**Viśeṣārtha** - The names of the natures that the ārohaka of the kṣapaka śreṇi destroys are mentioned in the gāthā. The difference between the upasama śreṇi and the kṣapaka śreṇi is that the ārohakas of both these śreṇis are progressing to subdue and destroy the mohaniya karma, but in the upasama śreṇi, the arising of the natures is pacified, the essence of the natures remains, and they cannot bear their fruit for the final moment, but in the kṣapaka śreṇi, their very essence is destroyed, so there is no fear of their arising again. For this reason, there is no fall in the kṣapaka śreṇi. The essence of the above statement is that the central point of both the upasama śreṇi and the kṣapaka śreṇi is mohaniya karma, and in the upasama śreṇi, the pacification of mohaniya karma leads to its re-arising. This makes the parināmik śuddhi done during the fall useless. But in the kṣapaka śreṇi, the complete destruction of mohaniya karma prevents its re-arising, and the non-arising makes the parināmik śuddhi complete.
