Delusion. The thought-activity of the soul due to the operation of the right belief-deluding karmas. In this, the soul does not believe in the right path to Liberation. From the first, i.e., this Guna sthána, the soul goes to the 4th Gunasthána always. 2. Sásádana. Downfall. When there is operation in the 4th stage of one of the 4 Anantánubandhi kashayas, Error-feeding passions, the soul falls down to the first stage through the second a the thought-activity in the passage through, is called Sásádana. 3. Mishra, mixed. Operation of Samyak-mithyátva-mohaniya karmas or Mishra Mohaniya. Belief in right and wrong at one and the same time. This is reached always on falling down from the fourth stage. 4. Avirata-samyaktva. Vowless right-belief. Belief is produced by the Upashma, subsidence of the 4 Anant ánubandhi kashavas. Error-feeding passions and one or three kinds of right-belief. deluding karmas respectively, i. e., one for a soul who has never been. or three, for a soul who has been in possession of Samaktva, right belief. The soul here has belief in the path of Liberation, but cannot observe the rules of conduct for attaining Liberation. Three kinds of thought activity may be noted in this stage: 1. Upashama-samyakta is attained by the Upashama, Subsidence of 5 or 7 kinds of deluding karmas. 2. Ksháyika samyakta is attained by the destruction of the 7 prakrities. 3. Kshayopashama samyakta is attained by the destruc tion or subsidence of 6, and the continuous operation of the 7th, ie. Samyak-prakrti-mithyátva, right-beliefclouded-occasionally-by-the-slightest wrong belief. This kind of thought activity is characterised by 3 defects; i.e.:1. Chala, the defect of being shaken in his right belief, e. g. thinking that, worship of Shantinátha will bring calmness ; or that of Pársvanátha will remove obstacles, etc., etc., whereas all Arhats are the same.
