________________
Notes : (299)
for this verse. The verse indicates that there could be only six characteristics in place of ten (see notes on V. 213) to be described when one moves on the 12th stage: (1) Destruction of duration
Duration of the existing Karmas (or non-destruction)
Fruition
Pre-maturation
(5) (6)
Splits of duration Splits of intensity
This verse refers to the methods of destruction of three destructive karmas and absence of destruction of the four non-destructive karmas. The three kinds of bonds are nonexisting at the 12th stage and only species or configuration
bond undergoes normal or pre-matural fruition. 233. It should be known that the time of experiencing the intensity
reduction lasts up to tenth spiritual stage as the passions of anger etc. are destroyed by this time. Similarly, the conductdeluding karma is also destroyed before the twelfth stage. The verse indicates the order of the processes for the destruction of the deluding karma. The term 'attenuation' should be taken
to mean horse-ear-like and intensity reduction operation. 234. This verse is the concluding verse detailing the order of
destruction of the 28 sub-species of the faith and conductdeluding karma before one reaches the twelfth-stage of
destroyed passions. 235-44. The verses 235-244 are virtually repetitions of earlier verses
numbering 128, 136, 138, 139, 140, 143, 144, 149, 209 and 217 respectively.
