KARMAS AND THEIR FRUITS
203
“Ya idam apari mitâ yuh sútram likhi syati, likhe payisyati, tasya panchantara yani karma varnani pariksayam guchchhanti.”
“He who writes this apari mita yuh sutram or makes another write it, his five obstructive karma-obscurings are destroyed."
Vote.--Here the obscuring of karmas and their destruction is described just like what the Jain scripture says. Jain literature describes antaraya karma or obstructive karma to be of five kinds :---Dânântaraya (obstructing charity), Lâbhântaraya (obstructing gain), Bhógântara ya (obstructing the use of once-enjoyables) Upa bhôgántaraya (obstructing the use of many-timesenjoyables), Viryantaraya (obstructing power).
They are material molecules, which are collected and destroyed.

Page 196. Then make thyself an island of defence, strive quick ; be wise : when all thy Taints of dirt and dust are blown away, the saints shall greet thee entering the happy land (Dhammapada).”
Note.--Here the words 'taint,' 'dirt' and 'dust' refer to some fine matter which can be blown away.
