141.
The order of transition of other passions is as given below:
(1)
While experiencing the passion of deceit, he undertakes the transition of gleaming pride into the gleaming deceit without experiencing it. While experiencing the passion of greed, he undertakes the transition of gleaming deceit into the gleaming greed without experiencing it.
(2)
The term 'without experiencing' means a new bond lasting for 2 Av - 2 Samayas.
143.
This verse states the relative proportion of bondage, fruition and transition related with the intensity of bonds. This means that a new bond lasting for a Samaya is the least (or weakest) with respect to intensity. The bondage is infinite times more than the karmic intensity. The fruition is infinite times more than the bondage and the transition is infinite times more than the fruition. This relative proportion of the processes has been stated with reference to the destructive karmas. The term 'ahio' (adhika, more) here means infinite times the series.
144.
This verse states that the bondage is the least with respect to mass of space points. The fruition is innumerable times more than the bondage. Further, the transition is innumerable times more than the fruition.
147.
For explaining the meaning of this verse properly, the term intensity and mass point should be applied here from the verse 146 and 'which of the specific multiplier' from verse 142. The quantitative description should be made with respect to six-fold or four-fold increase or decrease.
