particular karma which produces a particular effect. That which helps and sustains the janakakarma is called upastambhaka or auxiliary. The Upastambhaka karma really helps the janaka karma and suggests it and for this reason it is helpful. The Utpīdaka ( JETTS ) karma is actually the opposite of the janaka and upastambhaka. It obstructs and weakens the Upaştambhaka, Utpidaka and Upaghataka karmas belonging to the present life. They are produced in the javanasthāna ( 7797789177 ). Uipīdaka karma weakens the vipāka of the Janaka karma by resisting it often. The kušala utpīdaka resists the akušala utipīdaka and viceversa. So is upaghātaka karma which destroys janaka karma. The example of Thera Argulimāla is there. At the time of pratisandhi and the pravarttana, the janakakarma is Vipākaskandha (fautenttinet) and the kuśala, akušala, cetanā which produces karmarūpa.
The chief place of producing vipāka is pratisandhi (afari), but the place of produciug pratisandhi during the time of pravartana ( garia) is its ālambanabhavanga, five vijñānas, sampraticchā and samtirna (संतीर्ण)
The rule is that the janaka karma is able to bear its fruits during pravartana according as it is supported or opposed by the karman. The pratisandhivijñāna ( fatlar) is always the fruit of the past karma. There are in all nineteen kinds of the vijñāna. Out of these, according to circumstances, only one particular vijñāna does the function of pratisandhi at the time of pratisandhi.?
If a man performs an action of donation (at ) without any desire for its fruits, it becomes the Upaştambhaka or pariposaka of his past act of donation.
But it is the utpīdaka ( 37975 ) of greed ( 127 ) when the habit of action of donation ( atat ) becomes strong and destroys this greed, the act of donation will be called the Upaghātaka karma in relation to greed. If a man inflicts pain on a creature
