[1.9-1.22] Explanation of the twenty-eight categories of mohaniya karma
[265] The seven types of sukha are called **sukhavedaniya karma**. The seven types of dukha are called **asukhavedaniya karma**.
There are twenty-eight categories of mohaniya karma. [19]
Mohaniya karma is of two types: **darshanamohaniya** and **charitramohaniya**. [20]
Darshanamohaniya karma is one type in terms of bondage, but it has three types of **sattva**: **samyaktva**, **mithyatva**, and **samyagmithyatva**. [21]
**Darshan** is the interest or faith in the **apt**, **agama**, and **padartha**. Darshanamohaniya karma is that which obscures or distorts this darshan. The arising of this karma leads to the development of **apt**-like understanding in the **anapt**, **agama**-like understanding in the **anagama**, and **padartha**-like understanding in the **apadartha**. It also leads to instability in faith in the **apt**, **agama**, and **padartha**, and to faith in both **apt** and **anapt**, **agama** and **anagama**, and **padartha** and **apadartha**.
Darshanamohaniya karma is one type in terms of bondage because the **pudgala skandha** that arises due to **mithyatva** and other causes of bondage is of one nature. However, it is of three types in terms of **sattva** because just as the **kod**, **tandul**, and **artha tandul** are three parts of the **kod** that is ground by a millstone, similarly, the **darshanamohaniya** that is ground by the **apuurvakarana** and other **parinama** is divided into three parts. The **sattva** that leads to weakening of faith in the **apt**, **agama**, and **padartha** is called **samyaktva**. The **sattva** that leads to disbelief in the **apt**, **agama**, and **padartha** is called **mithyatva**. The **sattva** that leads to faith in both the **apt**, **agama**, and **padartha** and their opposites, **kudeva**, **kushastra**, and **kutattva**, is called **samyagmithyatva**.
Charitramohaniya karma is of two types: **kashayavedaniya** and **nokashayavedaniya**. [22]
**Charitra** is the cessation of **papakriya**. **Papakriya** refers to the actions of the **ghatika**. Therefore, **charitra** should be understood as the absence of their actions, which are characterized by **mithyatva**, **aviraati**, etc.
