indicates the reduction (destructo-subsidence) of gain obstructing (Lābhāntarāya) karma. The reduction of the feeling of myness reduces the feeling of the 'other' and increases the feeling of the 'self', which results in self-satisfaction and decrease in the desire to enjoy mundane pleasures. This results in the reduction in the feeling of want of mundane pleasures, which indicates a reduction (destructo-subsidence) of the mundane enjoyment obstructing (Bhogāntarāya) karma.

Along with the reduction (destructo-subsidence-kṣayopaśama) and destruction (kṣaya) of these inauspicious types of karmas, the intensities of auspicious types of nondestructive types of karmas also ascend. However, there is no bondage what-so-ever. It is so because the cause for karmic bondage is attachment and aversion, which are inauspicious. They have no place amongst the auspicious volitions.
