feeling (kaṣayavedaniya). The word 'quasi' in quasi-passions (akaṣāya or nokaṣāya) is used in the sense of 'little' or 'slight'. The quasipassions (akaṣāya) are nine. The rise of which causes laughter is hasya. The rise of which causes attraction for certain objects is rati. The rise of which causes repulsion for certain objects is arati. The rise of which causes grief or sorrow is soka. The rise of which causes fear is bhaya. The rise of which causes covering of the faults in the self and unearthing of the faults in others is jugupsă. The rise of which causes disposition typical of a woman is strīveda. The rise of which causes disposition typical of a man is puńveda. The rise of which causes disposition typical of the neuter gender is napumsakaveda. Sixteen kinds of passions-feeling (kaṣāyavedaniya) karmas are as follows. The passions (kaṣāya) are four, viz., anger (krodha), pride (māna), deceitfulness (māyā) and greed (lobha). And each of these passions (kaṣāya) is subdivided into four classes: 1) most malignant, that bind infinitely (anantānubandhi), 2) highly malignant, that hinder partial abstinence (apratyākhyāna), 3) malignant, that disturb complete self-restraint (pratyakhyāna), and 4) mild, that interfere with perfect conduct (samjvalana). Being the cause of endless cycle of worldly existence, wrong-belief (mithyadarśana) is called 'ananta', and the passions (kaṣaya) which give rise to such wrong-belief (mithyadarśana) are called anantānubandhi. In presence of apratyakhyāna variety of passions (kaṣāya), the person is able to acquire right faith but is not able to observe even partial-restraint of the householder. In presence of pratyakhyāna variety of passions (kaṣāya), the person is able to observe partial-restraint of the householder but is not able to observe complete-restraint of the ascetic. In presence of samjvalana variety of passions (kaṣāya), the person is not able to observe perfect conduct - sukladhyāna - of the advanced ascetic. These, together, make up sixteen kinds of passionsfeeling (kaṣayavedaniya) karmas. (see also sūtra 6-14, p. 250-251)
