________________ अध्याय-६ विघ्नकरणमन्तरायस्य ॥२७॥ [विघ्नकरणम् ] दान, लाभ, भोग, उपभोग तथा वीर्य में विघ्न करना सो [अन्तरायस्य] अन्तराय कर्म के आस्रव का कारण है। Laying obstacles (vighna) (in way of charity, etc.) is the cause of the influx of obstructive (antarāya) karmas. Charity (dāna), etc., have been explained already (see sūtra 2-4). Laying obstacles in way of these causes influx of obstructive (antarāya) karmas. Now an objection is raised. Spite against knowledge - pradosa, concealment of knowledge - nihnava, etc., have been described as specific causes for the influx of knowledge- and perception-obscuring karmas (see sūtra 6-10). Are these specific causes for the influx of particular karmas or common causes for the influx of all karmas without any distinction? If these are admitted to be specific causes, then it will contradict the Scripture, for it is said in the Scripture that the seven karmas - with the exception of lifedetermining (ayuh) karma - flow into the soul simultaneously every instant. That will be a contradiction. If, on the other hand, these are considered as common causes, then it is not proper to mention these as specific causes. The justification is this. There is no fixed rule that the enumerated activities will cause bondage of all karmas with regard to space-bondage (pradeśa bandha). But the enumerated activities cause the type of bondage that determines fruition - anubhāga bandha – every instant. Therefore, these have been mentioned separately. ॥ इति तत्त्वार्थसूत्रापरनाममोक्षशास्त्रे षष्ठोऽध्यायः समाप्तः ॥ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 263
