COMMENTARY.
The four kinds of Karma, viz., Jilanavaraniya, Darsaṇā varaņiya, Mohantya and Antaraya destroy the natural characteristics of a soul.
"द्वादशसहस्रप्रमितपञ्चनमस्कारग्रन्थकथितक्रमेण लघुसिद्धचक्रं वृहसिद्धचक्रमित्यादिदेवार्चनविधानं भेदाभेदरत्नत्रयाराधक गुरुप्रसादेन ज्ञात्वा ध्यातव्यम् ।"
i. e., "One should meditate on the manner of worshipping supreme beings, known as Laghu Siddha Chakra and Brihat Siddha Chakra, as is mentioned in the work called, Pañcha-namaskara, consisting of twelve thousand verses, after one is aware of the same through the kindness of a spiritual preceptor, who practises the three jewels." [Brahmadeva's Commentary.]
