________________
102 person with this type of experience or attitude is known as the right faithed one. The same wrongfulness is called mixed or right-cumwrong when it appears in the form of half-purified state (i.e. of righteousness) due to the specific partial cleansing (through vowal observance etc.) like the light or deep intoxication power of the kodrava grains due to their partial fermentation and washings. The realisation of this mixed faith-deluding karma induces a mixed volitional attitude of right-cum-wrong faith in the self like the partial intoxication produced from the cooked rice made from partially fermented and cleaned kodrava grains. 3. The conduct-deluding karma has two varieties-(1) quasipassions and (2) passions. The word 'a' before the word Kasáya here does not mean complete negation of passions but it means partial , scant or slight passions. For example, the name Alomika (non-soft haired-sheep) does not mean that the sheep has no hairs at all like the tortoise. However, it does mean that his hairs are not worth cutting at the time (for making wool) and hence, the word 'a' in the name implies partial negation of cuttable hairs only. Similarly, the quasipassions (a-passions, a-kasáyás) are not passions by themselves, but they are instrumental in passions as catalysts like the action of the dogs as directed by their lords. Just as the dogs move on for biting others and revert back on the direction of their masters, the a- passions like laughter etc. are there on the force of passions like anger etc. There is no a-passionation when there are no passions. The scriptures tell us about the character of scant negation of passions for the term a-kasaya (a-passions). Thus, quasi-passions are a-passiosns. 4. The a-passions-experiencing type of conduct deluding karma has nine varieties like laughter etc. as mentioned in the aphorism 8.9. The laughter-karma is that whose realisation produces, causes or manifests in laughing (amusement, rediculing etc.). The liking is defined as that which manifests in desires, curiosity, expectations or fonding in places and materials. The dis-liking is the reverse of the liking. The sorrow is defined as that which results in mourning (lamentation or grief). The fear is defined as that whose realisation is manifested in the feelings of excitement, anxiety or alarm. It has seven varieties (this-worldly, other-worldly, non-protection, death, pain, accident and disfame). The disgust is a kind of abuse, condemnation or hatred (kutsa).
