3 (252a) Monks who practise the ascetic methods (padimāpadivannaga anagara) perceive and annihilate karman strongly; the H of the sixth and the seventh hell perceive strongly but annihilate little; monks that have attained the selesi state perceive little but annihilate strongly; the G of the uppermost heavens (aņuttaróvavāiya deva) perceive and annihilate little.

Just so do the dirt particles of a garment that is being washed.
Since mah'assava is the title of the udd, originally the series mahā-kamma etc. probably started with āsava as it actually does the second time it appears (app'āsava appa-kamma a.-kiriya a.-vedana).--tantu-gaya: turi-vem'āder apanita-matra, Abhay.
2 (254a) The accumulation of the constituent particles (poggalôvacaya) of a garment happens either by an impulse from without (paogasā) or spontaneously (vīsasā). That of karman (kammộvacaya) happens only by an impulse (paoga), viz by the
