THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
Karmas is concerned, clouds the right-belief and) forms the Samyaktva (Prakriti or right-belief-slightly-clouded by wrong-belief, sub-class of right-belief đeluding Karma).
An infinite part of that(which is left of the) wood(class), (forms) the mixed (right-and-wrong-belief, Samyaktva. mithyátva sub-class of the right-belief-deluding Karma). The remaining infinite parts (of wood class and the whole of) the bone (and) the stone (classes of) powers of fruition (form) the wrong-belief (Mithyátva sub-class of the rightbelief-deluding Karma).
Commentary, The wholly destructive power of fruition is separate for the mixed-right-and-wrong-belief sub-class of the right-belief deluding Karma. The following chart shows the distribution of the four classes of the power of fruition over the 3 sub-classes of the rightbelief-deluding-Karma.
g=Stone. b- Bone. We Wood. C- Creeper. x - Infinite, Wrong-belief fruition. Mixed fruition. Clouded right-belief
fruition.

The following chart shows that the harder or intenser kind of fruition always includes the softer or milder kind; but not vice versa. For example wrong-belief may be of 3 degrees of fruition:
(1) Of the utmost intensity represented by the hardness of stone. This includes the hardness of bone and the maximum hardness of wood.
(2) Of the intensity represented by the hardness of bone. It includes the maximum hardness of wood.
(3) Of the intensity represented by the maximum hardness of wood.
Similarly right-belief-clouded by wrong-belief is of 2 kinds:
(1) Of the softness of the young wood. This includes the softness of a creeper.
(2) Of the softness of a creeper which necessarily excludes even the comparative hardness of soft young-wood.
