Destruction of CD Karma : (211)
15.3 Explanatory Verses of Tenth Doctrinal Verse
As a rule, the karmic destroyer binds the three destructive karmas, except the deluding karma, with a duration of ten years lacs by an Antarmuhūrta in the last Samaya of experiencing the first intensity reduction of gleaming anger. Further, with respect to the intensity of the three destructive karmas (excluding deluding karmas), he binds only those ones with partially destroying character only whose attenuation is possible. However, he binds the karmas with totally destroying character where attenuation is not possible. [The duration of the bondage of deluding karma should also be taken as 10 years-1A under the same condition. The duration is reduced from numerable thousand years to within 10 years. This verse is a part mention verse].
The karmic destroyer at the ultimate Samaya of gross passion in the ninth spiritual stage of similar volitions binds the three (nondestructive) karmas of physique-making, status-determining and feeling producing ones with a duration of under a year or one year less by an Antarmuhūrta. Similarly, he binds the remaining three destructive karmas (i.e. Knowledge-obscuring, conation-obscuring and obstructive karmas) with a duration of under a day (i.e. 2-9 Muhūrtas or 1 hr. 36 mts to 7 hrs. 12 mts.)
(The ultimate duration bond of deluding karma lasts only for an Antarmuhūrta).
