Mohanīya karma is of two types : (1) Darśanamohaniya which affects the intuitive experience and (2) Căritramohaniya ; it affects good conduct.1 Darsana in this sense refers to the state of intuition of right tattras and the real nature of the atman.2 Just as the consuming of liquor stupifies, so also mohaniya karma causes stupification of the mind by which he looses the power of discrimination between right and wrong. In this, one identifies himself with all that is external to him. And without discriminating the righteous from the unrightcousness, one identifies himself with the uprighteous activity.
Darsana mohaniya karma is of three4 types : 1. Samyakrva mohaniya, in this, the expression of samyaktra, if it is to come, cannot be obstructed, but it is slowed down and vitiated with numerous faults. 2. Mithyātva mohaniya, in this the faith in the righteous item is lost. 3. Misra mohaniya, in this one develops the mixed attitude in which righteous is also present along with wrong attitude. It is also called samyakmithyātva mohaniya.5 Mithyātva mohaniya is sarvaghāti, while samyaktva mohaniya is desaghātī as it partially affects discrimination. But miśra mohanīya is saryaghātī with reference to the relation of relative emphasis of the mithyātva and samyaktva.
Second distinction in the mohaniya karma is the cāritra mohaniya karma. It affects the right conduct of the soul. It thwarts activity leading to right conduct.?
