________________ Verse 141 interfusion (samghata), both, are taken to be included in the five kinds of body (sarira) name-karma (namakarma). So, from the perspective of non-distinction (abheda), 10 must be deducted from 148. Out of 8 kinds of name-karma of touch (sparsa), from the perspective f non-distinction (abheda), only 1 is taken. So, 7 must be deducted from 148. Out of 5 kinds of name-karma of taste (rasa), from the perspective of non-distinction (abheda), only 1 is taken. So, 4 must be deducted from 148. Out of 2 kinds of name-karma of odour (gandha), from the perspective of non-distinction (abheda), only 1 is taken. So, 1 must be deducted from 148. Out of 5 kinds of name-karma of colour (varna), from the perspective of non-distinction (abheda), only 1 is taken. So, 4 must be deducted from 148. (see "Gommatasara Karmakanda', Part 1, p. 34.) Thus, for the purpose of bondage (bandha) there remain 120 karmaclasses (karma-praksti). [148-(2+10+7+4+1+4) = 120] The non-rise (anudaya) or stoppage (samvara) of particular karmas, out of 120, takes place as the soul (jiva) ascends the stages of spiritualdevelopment (gunasthana). (see 'Sarvarthasiddhi', p. 318-320.) 1) 16 karma-classes get to non-rise (anudaya) - stoppage (samvara) - ahead of the first 'mithyadrsti' stage of spiritual-development (gunasthana). The self that is subjugated by the karma which causes false belief is the 'misbeliever' or 'deluded' - mithyadrsti. Those karma-classes which flow into the soul chiefly on account of wrong-belief (mithyadarsana) are cut off in case of those in higher gunasthana. Hence stoppage of these karma-classes prevails in the beings from the second stage of spiritual development, namely, 'downfall' - sasadanasamyagdrsti - onwards: wrong-belief-mithyatva, neuter-sex-napumsakaveda, infernal-lifetime-narakayuh, . . . . . . . . . . 261
