________________ STAGES OF SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT 147 6. Any, out of 64 of the nāma karmas. (For this purpose of considering the generation of the karmas, the 103 nāma karmas are considered as 67, by including the 15 kinds of bandhana nāma karma and the 5 kinds of saṁghatana in the 5 sarīra; and then the colour, the smell, the taste and the touch nama karmas are each considered as being only one kind, disregarding their various subdivisions, thus making only 4 kinds instead of 20 kinds, or 16 fewer, which together with the above 20 makes in all 36 fewer than 103, or 67.) - 7. Either of the gotra karmas, that is of 2 kinds. 8. Either of the antaraya karmas, that is of 5 kinds. In the first classification of the karmas, the total is 158. Reducing this by the above named 36, the remainder is 122. In the present mithyātva guṇasthana, the living being, therefore, is liable to generate any one of 117 out of these 122 karmas. Karmas not generated So there are karmas which are not generated in this mithyātva guṇasthāna, and they are : 1. The misra mohaniya karma 2. The samyaktva mohaniya karma 3. The aharaka Sarira nama karma 4. The āhāraka upanga nāma karma 5. The Tirthankara nāma karma Karmas generated only in this stage Then, there are certain karmas which are generated only in this stage and in no other, they are: (16 in all) 1. mithyatva mohaniya karma 2. The neuter sex passion karma 3. The naraka ayuḥ karma. (This is important to notice.) 4. The naraka gati nāma karma 5. The jäti nama karma, giving only one sense organ 6. The jati nama karma giving only two sense organs 7. The jati nama karma giving only three sense organs 8. The jati nama karma giving only four sense organs 9.
