[642] In the Chakkhandagama, the Veyanakhand states:
[4, 2, 8, 7] The perception of attachment, which arises from the external objects and their perception, causes the knowledge-obscuring pain. [6]
The perception of night, food, and their related consequences causes the knowledge-obscuring pain. [7] Similarly, the perception of anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment, aversion, delusion, and love causes the knowledge-obscuring pain. [8]
Anger is the consequence of the soul that causes burning of the heart. Pride is the consequence that arises from the desire for knowledge, power, etc. Deceit is the behavior that is adopted to cover up the feelings of the inner self. Greed is the feeling of possessiveness towards external objects. Maya, greed, the three Vedas, humor, and pleasure are all included in attachment, while anger, pride, displeasure, sorrow, disgust, and fear are all included in aversion. Delusion is the collection of the four poisons (anger, pride, deceit, and greed), the nine non-poisons (humor, etc.), and falsehood. Love is the consequence of the soul that is characterized by affection. These different causes produce the knowledge-obscuring pain. Although these perceptions are interconnected, there is still a subtle difference between them.
The perception of cause causes the knowledge-obscuring pain. [9]
The desire for the past lives of Chakravarti, Baldev, Narayan, and Prati Narayan, etc., is called cause.
The perception of gossip, conflict, backbiting, attachment, aversion, attachment, degradation, pride, object of perception, delusion, false knowledge, false perception, and practice causes the knowledge-obscuring pain. [10]
The act of revealing the faults of another person, even if they don't exist, under the influence of the poisons is called gossip. The act of causing harm to another person through weapons, sticks, words, etc., under the influence of the poisons is called conflict. The act of revealing the faults of another person under the influence of anger, etc., is called backbiting. Attachment to children, spouses, etc., is called attachment, and the opposite of this is called aversion. The external objects that cause the poisons like anger, etc., are called attachment. Degradation refers to deceit and trickery. The word "pride" here refers to the instruments of measurement and weighing (like "prastha", "seer", and "half seer", etc.).
