blemishes (no-kashayas), namely, joking, attachment or love, aversion or hatred, grief, fear, disgust and the three kinds of sexual passion peculiar to the three sexes, the male, the female and the neuter. The four types of kashayas are :
(1) anantânubandhi, i.e., that which prevents one's acquiring the right faith and stands in the way of true discernment;
(2) apratydkhyāna, or that which prevents the observance of even the minor vows of a house-holder;
(3) pratyåkhyāna, which interferes with the observance of the vratas (vows) enjoined on a monk; and
(4) sanjvalana, which is of a mild nature, and the last obstacle to the absolute purity of Right Conduct.
Yoga, which means a channel for the inflow of matter, is of three kinds
(i) manôyoga, that is, inental activity, or thought, (ii) kâyâyoga, or bodily actions, and (iii) vachanayoga, i.e., speech.
These are the main causes of âsrava, and, although the sub-heads in this classification may be divided still further, it would serve no useful purpose to describe their minute sub-division here.
