THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
Commentary.
Obviously the distinction of partially-destructive, Desha-Gháti and wholly-destructive Sarva-Gháti applies only to the sub-classes of 4 destructive Karmas. So does also the distinction as to the 4 degrees of intensity of fruition, as examplified by the degrees of hardness of stone, bone, wood and creeper. The hardness of a creeper and an infinite part of wood is confined to the partially destructive Karmas. Beyond that there are the wholly destructive, see Gatha 180.
Let 3100 be the whole matter bound in one instant, 40 instants be the duration, Nana Gunaháni -5, Gunaháni-8, than 2 Gunaháni 16 and Anyonyá bhastaráshi - 32.
Then 3100 (32-1)-100-the number of molecules in last Gunaháni of stone kind of matter.
Then five Gunáhánis will be 100+ 200+400+800+ 1,600. Total 3,100.
Here 1,600 molecules is the number of creeper kind of partially destructive Karmas. A little more than this 1,600, i.e., 1,600 adding something equal to infinite part of wood kind is the total number of molecules of partially destructive Karmas. The remaining is the number of molecules of wholly destructive Karmas.
सव्वावरणं दव्वं विभंजणिज्जं तु उभयपयडीसु । देसावरणं दव्वं देसावरणेसु विदरे ॥ १६६ ॥ सर्वावरणं द्रव्यं विभञ्जनीयं तु उभयप्रकृतिषु । देशावरणं द्रव्यं देशावरणेषु नैवेतरस्मिन् ॥ १६६ ॥
199. The wholly-destructive matter should be distributed among both the sub-classes (i. e., wholly and partially destructive sub-classes). The partially-destructive matter (should be distributed) among the partially-destructive sub-classes, but never in the other (i. e., wholly-destructive sub-classes).
Commentary.
Infinite part of the molecules of any destructive Karma is the number of wholly-destructive-matter and the remaining many parts is that of partially-destructive matter. The molecules of whollydestructive, are to be distributed to both sub-classes of wholly and partially-destructive, but the partially-destructive matter should only be given to themselves.
