________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha (arta) and cruel (raudra) meditation (dhyana), knowledge-application in deplorable activities, and delusion (moha), are dispositions (bhava) that cause demerit (papa). EXPLANATORY NOTE Severe delusion (moha) is the cause of the four instincts (samjna): 1) food (ahara), 2) fear (bhaya), 3) copulation (maithuna), and 4) attachment to possessions (parigraha). The activities (yoga) stained with severe passions (kasaya) cause the three inauspicious (asubha) thought-complexions (lesya): 1) black (krsna), 2) blue (nila), and 3) dove-grey (kapota). The rise of excessive attachment (raga) and aversion (dvesa) results in sense-domination. These, attachment (raga) and aversion (dvesa), result also in four types of sorrowful (arta) meditation (dhyana): 1) relating to removal of disagreeable (amanojnya) objects, 2) relating to gain of agreeable (manojnya) objects, 3) relating to removal of pain (vedana), and 4) wish for enjoyment (nidana). Passions (kasaya) result in four types of cruel (raudra) meditation (dhyana): 1) relating to injury (hinsa), 2) relating to untruth (asatya), 3) relating to stealing (steya), and 4) relating to safeguarding of possessions (visayasamraksana). Knowledge-application in deplorable activities means getting involved in purposeless and inauspicious activities. Delusion (moha) means obscuration of the ability to distinguish between what is desirable and what is not. The rise of the perceptiondeluding (darsanamohaniya) and conduct-deluding (caritramohaniya) karmas are the causes of delusion (moha). The above dispositions (bhava) cause the influx-of-demerit - bhavapapasrava. This bhava-papasrava turns into influx of the karmic matter of demerit-dravya-papasrava. 258
