________________ integration of the body (Sanghat karma). Thus 148 - 16 (20-4)-10 equal 122 types. The clouded right faith and the right / wrong faith are not in bondage form but are produced due to the rise of the right faith. Here at this time, the wrong faith is divided into three parts such as wrong faith, right-wrong faith and clouded right faith. The bonded wrong faith karma have some pure and some impure molecules. When the wrong faith karma is divided into three forms (the wrong, right / wrong and the clouded right faith) by the soul, at the time of the rise of the right faith, then these three forms occur. Therefore in bondage, one has only wrong faith karma. There is no bondage of right / wrong and clouded right faith karma. Thus we have to delete two numbers out of 122, to reach 120. Out of these 120 types, in the first spiritual development stage, the tirthankar karma, the assimilated body (Aharak sharir) and assimilating limbs and their related parts (Aharak angopanga) are not bonded. Therefore 120 - 3 equal 117 types of bonded karma seen in the first spiritual development stage. 486. How many types of karma come in to fruition in the first spiritual development stage? Out of the 122 types as mentioned above, the clouded right faith, the right / wrong faith, the assimilated body, the assimilated limbs and their related parts and the tirthankar karma, do not have fruition in the first spiritual development stage. Thus 122-5 equals 117 types of karma, which may get fruition in the first spiritual development stage. 487. How many types of karma remain in a dormancy stage of existence (Satta), with the soul in the first spiritual developmental stage? During the first spiritual development stage, there are 148 types of karma, which remain in the dormancy state to the soul. Chapter # 4.4 Second spiritual development stage. 488. How is the second spiritual developmental stage - the downfall stage (Sasadan guna sthanak) explained? The first type of right faith due to the suppression of karma (Prathamopsham samyaktva) lasts for an intra-indian hour (a period up to or within 48 minutes). When a time between one and six avali (very small unit of time) remains, then there is a rise of infinitely bonded passions (Anantanubandhi kashay). Here the right faith disappears and the soul's downfall towards ithe first spiritual development stage continues. This is called the second spiritual development stage. 114
