restraint representing volitional parity due of observance of 5 major vows, 5 carefulnesses and three guards involving total abstinence from sinful activities. This verse has a long commentary.
116.
Elaborating the verse, Vīrasena states that there are two kinds of karmic subsidence: (1) auspicious and (2) inauspicious. It is only the deluding Karma (and not other Karmas), which is intended to be subsided in the first instance.
119.
There are eight auspicious or inauspicious karmic operations: (1) bondage, (2) transition, (3) augmentation, (4) attenuation (5) pre-mature fruition (6) subsidence (7) specific operational incapacitation and (8) general operational incapacitation. These are referred to in the verse. There are two kinds of operational subsidence: (i) Subsidence with operation and
(ii)
Subsidence without operation
The process may be total or partial.
120.
The initiator of the process of subsidence of CD Karma may fall in two ways: (1) by destruction of current birth state and (2) by destruction through subsidence. The first fall leads to gross attachment and the second fall leads to subtle attachment or greed. The second fall leads to bonding and experiencing karmic species in the form of earlier succession.
There is a large commentary on fall under different states, which should be consulted, for details in Vol.13.
