MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
Mithyadrishti either the subsidence of three Prakritis or of one Prakriti only takes place.
What is Upashama (subsidence)? The same is being explained here:
476
By the Antarkarana Vidhana effected in the state of Anivrattikarana, the Nishekas (atoms of Darshan Mohaniya) which were capable of coming into rise (udaya) during the period of Samyaktva, were made ineffective in that period. The same atoms were turned into the Nishekas capable of coming into rise in future. And by the Upashama Vidhana effected in the same period of Anivratti karana, the Nishekas, which were capable of coming into rise after that period, were caused to remain in such state that they might not come into rise in this period in the form of Udirana (premature operation).
Thus that state where the existence (Satta) of Darshan Mohaniya is found but its rise is not found, is termed as Upashama (subsidence).
This is the Prathamopashama Samyaktva evolved at the end of the state of Mithyatva (first Gunasthana). This is found existing from the fourth, etc. up to seventh Gunasthana.
And Upashama Samyaktva, which is evolved from Kshayopashama Samyaktva in the state of readiness for UpashamaShreni in seventh Gunasthana, is termed Dwiteeyopashma Samyaktva. Here the subsidence of all the three Prakritis of Darshan Mohaniya is caused by Karana (attainment of Karana-labdhi), because in his case, the existence (Satta) of all the three Prakritis is found. Here too their rise (udaya) is made ineffective in that period by Antar Karana Vidhana and Upashama Vidhana. This is called Upashama (subsidence). So, this Dwiteeyo-pashama Samyaktva is found existing from the seventh etc. up to the eleventh Gunasthana. It should be known that when one falls from the eleventh Gunasthana, this in some cases is found existing in sixth, fifth and fourth Gunasthana also.
Thus Upashama Samyaktva is of two kinds. So in the present state, this Samyaktva is as pure as Kshayika. Since the existence (Satta) of its opponent karma is found, therefore, this Samyaktva remains persisting merely for an Antar-Muhurta period. Later on,
