IV. Of the delusive (mohanīya) karmas there are twenty-eight kinds. According as the infatuation affects perception or conduct it is called respectively perceptioninfatuating (darśana-mohanīyu) or conduct-infatuating (chūritru-mohanīya).
A. Darśana-mohanīya is of three kinds: (1) samyaktva-, infatuation which affects or blurs perfect perception; (2) mithyātva-, infatuation which occasions false perception ; (3) miśru, infatuation which is a mixture of the first two.
