________________ development, there is stoppage of these karmas in those stages, that is, from the third stage of mixed right and wrong belief - samyagmithyādṛṣṭi. अध्याय-९ Ten karmas flow into the soul primarily on account of non-restraint (asamyama) caused by the rise of passions hindering partial restraint - apratyakhyānāvaraṇa. These are apratyākhyānāvaraṇa anger krodha, apratyakhyānāvaraṇa pride - māna, apratyākhyānāvaraṇa deceitfulness - māyā, apratyākhyānāvaraṇa greed-lobha, human age - manuṣyāyuḥ, human state of existence - manusyagati, gross body audārika sarīra, the chief and secondary parts of the physical body - audārika śarīra angopanga, excellent joining - vajraṛṣabhanārāca samhanana, and the transmigrating force tending to human birth - nanuṣyagatiprāyogyānupūrvi.

There is stoppage of these karmas in the higher stages. The influx of karmas caused by negligence (pramāda) is stopped in the absence of negligence. From the stage higher up the sixth stage of 'imperfect vows' - - pramattasamyata there is stoppage of karmas whose influx is caused by negligence, as there is no negligence in those stages. What are these? These are the six karmas causing the unpleasant-feeling - asātāvedaniya, disliking - arati, sorrow - śoka, infirm frame asthira, unattractiveness of form aśubha, and - 347
