As example of increasing matter, the matter of gain-obstructive Karma is more than that of charity-obstructive Karma; and that of enjoyment-obstructive Karma is more than that of the gainobstructive Karma; and so on.
सव्वावरणं दव्वं अणंतभागो दु मूलंपयडीणं । सेसा अणंतभागा देसावरणं हवे दव्वं ॥१७॥ सर्वावरणं द्रव्यमनन्तभागस्तु मूलप्रकृतीनाम् । शेषा अनन्तभागा देशावरणं भवेत् द्रव्यम् ॥ १६७॥
197. The matter of the total obscuring (or whollydestructive Sarva-Gháti sub-classes) of the root-classes (i.e., of knowledge and conation obscuring and deluding classes is) an infinite part (of the total of its class). The remain ing infinite parts are the matter of the partially-obscuring (or destructive Desha-Gháti sub-classes).
Commentary. Although sensitive, scriptural, visual, and mental knowledgeobscuring and ocular, non-ocular and visual conation-obscuring; and perfect conduct-preventing 4 passions, and 8 quasi passions, subclasses are partially-destructive, yet each of them contains some matter which fully obscures the nature of all. Where Sarva-Gháti is operative also, one cannot have a bit of its opposite nature, for example one-sensed beings have not got ocular conation, because there is operation of matter of all-ocular-conation-obscuring Karmas.
देसावरणपणोण्णब्भत्थं तु अणंतसंखमेत्तं खु । सव्वावरणधणटुं पडिभागो होदि घादीणं ॥ १६८॥ देशावरणान्योन्याभ्यस्तं तु अनन्तसंख्यामानं खलु । सर्वावरणधनार्थ प्रतिभागो भवति घातिनाम् ॥ १९८॥
198. And certainly the Anyonya-bhyasta-Rashi of the partially-destructive (sub-classes) is also infinite in number. To find out the total (number of molecules) of the whollydestructive (sub-classes it) is the common divisor for the destructive Karmas,
