Commentary.
The four passions are: Anger (Krodha,) Pride (Mána), Deceit (Máyá) and Greed (Lobha).
Each of these is of 4 kinds: error feeding, Anantánu-bandhî which destroys right belief; partial-vow-preventing, Apratyakhyánávarana, which destroys such right conduct as consists in the observance of partial vows; total-vow-preventing, Pratyák hánavarana which destroys such right. conduct as consists in the observance of full vows; and perfect-right-conduct preventing, Sanjvalana, which destroys ideal right conduct.
Jain Education International
Thus there are 16 kinds of the 4 passions,
The error-feeding-passions keep us in the first spiritual stage of wrong belief Mithyátva or tend to bring us down from 4th to the 2nd stage. Partial-vow-preventing passions keep us in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stages. Total-vow-preventing-passions keep us in the 5th stage. Perfect-right-conduct-preventing-passions keep us in the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th stages, and bring us back from the 11th. In the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th stages there are no passions, except in the 11th stage where they are in a quiescent form, and bring the soul back to the 10th and lower stages.
In this and the last Gatha, two etymological derivations of the word Kasháya are given. In the first, it is derived from Krisha to plough, because it ploughs the field of Karmas of which the soul reaps the fruit. In this it is derived from Kasha to destroy, because it destroys the right-belief and right conduct of the soul.
