What are the instrumental causes for annihilation or suppression of the twentyone types of deluding karma?

What is identified as the stage for the new thought activity (Adhah karan)?
In this situation the dispositions (Parinam) of the previous and the next moment are either same or different. This is called adhah karan. For example, the dispositions of some particular living beings in the first moment possess less purity. Moment after moment, progressively, the purity keeps on increasing through infinite times. Whatever type of dispositions the soul may have in the second or third moment, can be the same type as in the first moment of the other living beings. Karan is defined as a living being's thoughts and dispositions. This karan occurs in the 7th spiritual stage of development.
526.
What is identified as the advanced thought activity (Apurva karan)?
Here the thoughts and dispositions of the prior and the next moments are not uniform but are necessarily unique (Apurva). For example, the disposition found occurring in this first moment is not found to be of the same purity as that in any other living being, which occurs in the second dispositions. The purity of dispositions of different living beings in the first moment can be the similar or different. However from the second moment onwards, the purity will increase progressively by the amount of infinite time within each living being. It will also be unique by itself within any given individual living being. This karan occurs in the 8th spiritual stage of development.
527.
What is called the uniform purity of dispositions (Anivrutti Karan)?
The state, in which all living beings have uniform purity at a given moment, is called the uniform purity of dispositions. With increasing moments, they will all have infinitely more purity, which will be the same in all-living beings. This karan occurs in the 9th spiritual stage of development. All of these 3 karans have increasing purity with each increasing moment.
