Meaning: Q.X.1.1 A.X.1.1 Which species of karma when destroyed / annihilated completely results in the complete annihilation of knowledge obscuring, intuition obscuring and obstruction creating karmas and results in the attainment of omniscience? The deluding (mohan ya) karma when annihilated completely in the 12th stage of spiritual purification (gunasth na) namely 'completely annihilated passions (ks nakas ya)', results in an intra-Indian-hour (antaramuh rta) in the destruction of all obscuring (gh tia) karma and attainment of omniscience in the 13" gunasth na. Q.X.1.2 A.X.I.2 At what instant, the omniscience is first realized? Omniscience is first realized at the instance the four obscuring karmas are completely annihilated. Q.X.1.3 A.X.1.3 Why the word mohaksay t written separately in the aphorism? The deluding (moha) karma is the foremost of the four obscuring karmas which is annihilated first. Since the other obscuring karmas cannot be annihilated without first annihilation of deluding karma. In the absence of deluding karma, the other three obscuring karma are annihilated in intra-Indian-hour. Therefore the word mohakşay t is written separately. Q.X.1.4 A.X.1.4 How many tendencies of karmas have to be annihilated before omniscience is realized? Sixty three tendencies, listed below, have to be annihilated before omniscience is realized. Deluding karma Knowledge obscuring karma Intuition obscuring karma Obstructing karma Destinies determining karmas Name karma Total Q.X.1.5 A.X.1.5 How does the empirical soul become pure soul? By annihilating 63 tendencies of karmas as given above, the empirical soul becomes pure soul with gross body (arihanta). 374
