180. The power (of fruition) of the (4) destructive (Karmas, i.e., knowledge-and conation-obscuring, deluding and obstructive Karmas) is said to be like the creepers (Latá), wood (Dáru), bone (Asthi), and stone (Páshána), (where the hardness increases at every step). And (from the creeper degree) up to an infinite part of the wood (degree) the degrees are partially-destructive (Desha Gháti), and all (the degrees) beyond that, (aer all-destructive Sarvagháti),
Commentary.
Partially-destructive Karmas are those which do not wholly destroy the qualities of the soul. Except the deluding Karmas, their destructive-subsidence always exists in a greater or less degree, resulting in some quality of the soul being unobscured, while alldestructive Karmas are those which totally obscure the quality of a soul, which can only be exposed by their full destruction. For example, perfect knowledge-obscuring Karma is all-destructive. Until it is destroyed, not a bit of perfect knowledge is possible. Sensitive and scriptural knowledge-obscuring Karmas are partiallydestructive. Their destructive-subsidence always exists in every mundane soul; therefore each soul from one-sensed to five sensed has got some sensitive and letterless scriptural knowledge.
