Tattvärthasūtra
The karmas causing other afflictions are described in the next sūtra.
दर्शनमोहान्तराययोरदर्शनाला भौ ॥ १४ ॥
[ दर्शनमोहान्तराययोः ] दर्शनमोह और अन्तराय कर्म के उदय में [ अदर्शनालाभौ ] क्रम से अदर्शन और अलाभ परीषह होते हैं।
Lack of faith - adarśana, and lack of gain – alābha, are caused by faith-deluding (darśanamoha) and obstructive (antaraya) karmas, respectively.
The words are taken respectively. Faith-deluding (darśanamoha) karmas give rise to the affliction of perverted faith - adarśana. And obstructive (antarāya) karmas give rise to the affliction of lack of gain -alabha.
Faith-deluding (darśanamoha) here means samyaktvamohaniya kṣayopaśamika samyaktva or vedaka samyaktva. Three faults wavering (cala), taint (mala), and faltering (agaḍha) - accompany right-belief (samyaktva) on the rise of faith-deluding (darśanamoha) karmas. The fault of wavering (cala) implies that although the ascetic has faith on the Supreme Teacher - apta, the Scripture - agama, and the nature of substances - padartha, he entertains thoughts of their nature being different from what he believes it to be. For example, he may entertain the thought that Lord Parsvanatha saves him from calamities. The fault of taint (mala) implies the presence of doubt (śańkā), etc., in what he believes. The fault of faltering (agaḍha) implies occasional irresoluteness in the belief. For example, he may entertain the thought that the particular temple belongs to him.
If the first kind of deluding (mohaniya) karmas cause one affliction, how many afflictions are caused by the second type?
