________________
The beginner in karmic destruction has already destroyed the thirteen karmic species associated with the species of infernal and sub-human destinity of physique-making karma and the three species of somnambulism, deep sleep and deep-drowsiness of conation obscuring karma by an Antarmuhurta earlier through the processes of total transition in other species (Sanchūhaṇa) after the destruction of eight intermediate (two tetrads of medial) passions. (Thus, sixteen species in all).
Destruction of CD Karma : (151)
(The term 'etc.' (Ādi) in the verse means the inclusion of the processes of splits of duration and intensity and shedding of karmas by geometrical series. The term 'Adha' in the verse indicates the eight medial passions).
After the destruction of six karmic species of quasi-passions like laughter etc. (except three libidos) under transition with the longstanding male libido, the three non-destructive karmas of physique making, status determining and feeling-producing category exist for duration of innumerable years. In contrast, the remaining four karmas of knowledge-obscuring etc. (of the category of destructive type) exist for the duration of numerable years.
