## Introduction
[95]
The Go. Karmakanda describes the excellent and inferior states of all the original and derived natures within the bondage of karma. After that, it describes the characteristics of obstacles and the rules for removing the obstacle period of each karma, and then it explains the removal of karma without obstacles. This is appropriate considering the style of composition of the chapter there. However, it is clear that the composition of the said context of Karmakanda is indebted to the Shatkhandagama Sutras.
Here, I consider it necessary to point out that whatever description of the process of removal is found in the Shatkhandagama Sutras here or elsewhere, it is indebted to the original verses of the Karmapaydi. A comparison of one verse from the Karmapaydi and the Go. Karmakanda regarding the process of removal will not be irrelevant:
"Mothanam sagamabahang padhamai thiihi bahutaram davyam. Etto viseshiinam javukkosam ti savveshi."
(Karmapaydi, Position. Page 178)
"Abahang bolaaviya padhamani segammi dey bahugam tu. Tattho viseshiinam vidiyassaadimani seyo tti."
(Go. Karmakanda)
The secret of the similarity and difference between the two verses will be understood by the learned themselves.
In the Shatkhandagama, the description of the relative abundance of yoga is done in 28 sutras in the Dravyavidhanchulika under the Vedanakhand, while the said description is done in only 2 verses in the Karmapaydi. Here, we are quoting it for the observation of the readers:
Karmapaydi-Verse: "Savvathovo jogo saharanasuhum padhamasamayami. Bayar viyatiyachauramanasannappajjattag jahanno." 14.
"Aiyugu kkosho sim pajjattahannangethare ya kama. Ukkosajahanniyaro asamattiyare asankhaguno." 15.
