14 SUBDIVISIONS OF DELUDING
(MOHANIYA) KARMA AND LIFE-SPAN (AYUH) DETER
MINING KARMA
Introductory
There are 28 subdivisions of this kind (mohaniya) of karma, but these 28 can be classified under two heads, namely, the first 3 are called darśana mohanīya karmas, whose nature is to obstruct the faculty of relishing the truth when it is heard. And the remaining 25 are called căritra mohaniya karmas, whose nature is to obstruct right conduct. You may relish it and still you cannot practise it; you perhaps feel weak and so do not practise the truth which is relished. Three Sub-divisions of Darsana-Mohaniya Karma
I. That karma by reason of the activity of which you do not believe in the truth at all when it is presented to you; the person is entirely under the rule of delusion.
2. That karma by reason of which you believe for some time, and then there is a doubt; you are all the time vacillating.
3. That karma by reason of which, while believing in the truth all the time still at certain moments you feel that there is something more to be known. There is just a little vacillating in the state. 25 Sub-divisions of Căritra-Mohaniya Karmas
1. Anger of an intense degree 2. Anger of a less intense degree 3. Anger of a milder degree 4. Anger of a still milder degree 5. Pride of an intense degree
