[4, 2, 7, 177] The Veeyanmahaahiyar (great torment) is the destruction of the Veeyanbhaav (tormenting emotions) and the first stage of the Chuliya (purification). [627
The lower birth is infinite times more tormenting than the higher birth. || 167 || From that, ill-fame is infinite times more tormenting. || 168 || From that, the non-perceivable torment is infinite times more tormenting. || 169 || From that, both fame and higher birth are equal and infinite times more tormenting. || 170 || From that, the perceivable torment is infinite times more tormenting. || 171 || From that, the hellish existence is infinite times more tormenting. || 172 || From that, the heavenly existence is infinite times more tormenting. || 173 || From that, the physical body is infinite times more tormenting. || 174 ||
The sixty-four verses of the Jghana Maha Danda (great punishment) are complete.
1. The Veeyanbhaavvihaan (destruction of tormenting emotions) and the first stage of the Chuliya (purification) are the result of the arising of the Saavay (with attachment) and Virat (without attachment) infinite karmas. The destruction of the Darshanmoha (delusion of perception) and the suppression of the Kaasay (passions) are also the result of the arising of the Uvasam (suppression). || 7 || The destruction of the Kheenmoha (subtle delusion) and the attainment of the Jina (liberated) and the Niyama (control) are also the result of the arising of the Asankhejj (innumerable) karmas. The time of their destruction is the opposite (the number of times they are destroyed is less than the number of times they arise). || 8 ||
These two verses describe the eleven stages of the Gunashreni (series of qualities). The next 22 (175-96) verses explain them in detail.
The Gunashreiniguna (quality of the series of qualities) of the destruction of the Darshanmoha (delusion of perception) is the least. || 175 || The Gunashreiniguna of the Sanjadasanjad (controlled and uncontrolled) is innumerable times greater. || 176 || The Gunashreiniguna of the Adhapavattasanjad (controlled by the self) is innumerable times greater. || 177 ||
