turely due to certain spiritual efforts and the karma is destroyed, just as a mango fruit is prematurely ripened by artificial

of the karma and the fruition of the karma i. e., the potential

is the form of mithyātva (dogmatic assertion). Indriya-Sense-organs through which sense-experience is possible,

they can be experienced soon. Udvartanā—It is the increase in the duration and intensity of
