These three names are from the viewpoint of thoughts of all Jivas of Karana-Labdhi of all the three times (present, past & future). Karana is the name of Jiva's thoughts & dispositions (Parinaamas).
Where the dispositions of prior and posterior moments are uniform, it is called Adhah-Karana (slow progressive thought activity). For example, the dispositions of some particular Jiva in the first moment of that Karana were having less purity; afterwards, moment after moment, the purity in dispositions went on increasing infinite times progressively. And whatever types of dispositions he may be having in the second-third, etc. moments, similar dispositions can be found in some other Jiva in the first moment and the purity in dispositions of these other Jivas may be increasing moment after moment infinite times progressively in comparison to the first Jiva. Such is the state of dispositions in Adhah-Pravritti Karana.
And where the dispositions of prior and posterior moments are not uniform but are necessarily unique (Apoorva) only, such stage is called Apoorva-Karana (highly progressive thought activity). For example, the dispositions of that Karana found in its first moment are not found to be of the same purity of any other Jiva who is in the second, etc. moments, rather are increasingly more and more pure. And here in this state, like Adhah-Karana, the Jivas who are found to be in the first moment only, the dispositions of all those Jivas may be found to be uniformly pure or may be with more or less degree of purity also; but here the speciality is this that the lowest order purity of dispositions of the Jivas belonging to second, etc. moments are found to be having infinite times more purity than that of the highest degree of purity of the Jiva of first moment. Similarly, the dispositions of all those Jivas who after entering this Karana have reached in the second, etc. moments, may be either uniformly pure or may have different degrees of purity, but the dispositions of Jivas of higher moments are not at all found to be of identical purity but are found to be of greater and greater degree of purity in comparison to the Jiva of lower moments. Such are dispositions in the state of Apoorva-Karana (highly progressive thought activity) 1. 1. grug foul Har al snagpunt g 1136 11 (afectar)
