________________ अध्याय-९ passions', indicates the meaning. This term includes ascetics from the sixth stage up to the ninth stage - pramattasamyata, apramattasamyata, apūrvakaraṇa, and anivrttibādarasāmparāya. As the passions (kaşāya) have not been destroyed in their case, all the afflictions occur to them. In what types of conduct do all the afflictions occur? All the afflictions occur to those of the first three types of conduct, namely, sāmāyika, chedopasthapanā and parihāraviśuddhi (see sūtra 9-18). The particular stages with regard to the afflictions have been ascertained. But what karmas cause what afflictions? FIHIUT uşITFIÐ 118311 [ ज्ञानावरणे ] ज्ञानावरण के उदय में [ प्रज्ञाऽज्ञाने ] प्रज्ञा और अज्ञान - ये दो परीषह होते हैं। Extraordinary learning - prajñā, and ignorance – ajñāna, are caused by knowledge-covering (jñānāvaraņa) karmas. This is improper. What is improper? The affliction of ignorance is consistent with the presence of knowledge-covering (jñānāvaraña) karmas. But extraordinary learning arises in the absence of knowledge-covering (jñānāvarana) karmas. The answer is that extraordinary learning, arising from destruction-cum-subsidence – kşayopaśama - begets pride in the ascetic on the rise of other knowledge-covering (jñānāvaraṇa) karmas. The affliction of (conceit of) extraordinary learning - prajñā - does not arise on total destruction (kşaya) of knowledge-covering (jñānāvaraņa) karmas. So it is appropriate to say that the affliction of conceit of) extraordinary learning - prajñā - arises in the presence of knowledge-obscuring (jñānāvaraṇa) karmas. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 371
