Karmas liable to be generated
The above 16 karmas are not generated in this stage; of the 117 karmas generated [liable to be generated) in the first stage, the remaining 101 may also be generated in this stage. 5 mithyātva-causes do not work
In this stage, the 5 mithyātva causes do not work. They are controlled.

This stage is called 'sāsvādana' gunasthāna. It is only a momentary state. It is after anger, for instance, has risen and then subsided, and then is rising again; there is a momentary sensation of the taste of the quiet state; taste of the control of the mithyātva karma. It is not the state when the anger was subsided, that is a higher one, it is the momentary taste of that quiet state. It does not last long enough for the generation of some of the karmas. 25 karmas not to be generated in any higher stage
The following 25 karmas liable to be generated in this stage would not be generated in any higher stage :
