## 8] The Abode of Souls in the Sixfold Scripture
[1, 1, 15] In the Gunasthana, there are also Kshayika, Kshayopaśamika, and Aupaśamika states. The inattentiveness in the observance of conduct due to the intense arising of Sanjvalana and Nokashaya is called Pramada. It is of fifteen types due to the four Vikathas: Strikatha, Bhaktakatha, Rashtrakatha, and Avanipalakatha; the four Kashayas: Krodha, Mana, Maya, and Lobha; the five Indriyas: Sparśana, Rasana, Prāṇa, Chakshu, and Śrotra; and the two: Nidra and Pranaya.
Further, to describe the Gunasthana characterized by pure Samyama in the Kshayopaśamika Samyamas, the Uttar Sutra says:
**Apamattasanjada || 15 ||**
**Generally, there are Apramattasanyata souls. || 15 ||**
Those whose Samyama is free from the aforementioned fifteen types of Pramada are called Apramattasanyata. In this Gunasthana, the Kshayopaśamika state is present in relation to Samyama. This is because, in the present time, the arising and cessation of the Pratyakhyanavaraṇiya Karma, which is the most destructive of all the competitors, and the cessation of their arising in the future, and the mild arising of the Sancalana Karma, give rise to that Samyama. In relation to Samyaktva, there are also Kshayika, Kshayopaśamika, and Aupaśamika states.
Now, to describe the first Gunasthana among those that subdue or destroy Charitramohaniya, the Uttar Sutra says:
**Apūvva-karaṇa-praviṭṭha-śuddhi-sanjade-su atthi uvasama khava || 16 ||**
**Generally, there are both Upaśamaka and Kshapaka souls who have entered the state of purity through the never-before-obtained karmas. || 16 ||**
The word "karaṇa" means "result." Those results that have never been obtained before, i.e., before this Gunasthana, are called Apūvva-karaṇa. This means that, excluding the souls of the present time who are the subject of discussion, the results that have not been obtained by the souls of other times, from the first time to every time, increasing in number, are called Apūvva. Those who have obtained these Apūvva results are called Apūvva-karaṇa-praviṭṭha-śuddhi-sanjata. Among them, those who are engaged in subduing the Charitramohaniya Karma are called Upaśamaka, and those who are engaged in destroying it are called Kshapaka.
All the Kshapaka and Upaśamaka souls who have obtained Apūvva-karaṇa have a similarity in their results in terms of their never-before-obtained nature. In this Gunasthana, the Kshayika state is found in the Kshapaka souls, and the Aupaśamika state is found in the Upaśamaka souls. However, in relation to Samyagdarshana, the Kshayika state is found in the Kshapaka, and the Aupaśamika and Kshayika states are found in the Upaśamaka. The reason for this is that the soul who has destroyed Darshanamoha...
