The Jaina Doctrine of Karma And The Science Of Genetics: 80 Types: Fruits Of Inauspicious Karma (2)

(a) 16 Kaṣāya mohanīya

Kaṣa means saṁsāra, āya means gaining. So kaṣāyas keep us in saṁsāra (worldly life).
Main four kaṣayas are as follow:

1. Anger (krodha),
2. Pride (māna),
3. Deceit (māyā),
4. Greed (lobha).

   These four are grouped into two:
   (1) Attachment,
   (2) Hatred.

   Attachment includes—deceit and greed.
   and hatred includes—anger and pride (ego).

Each of these four kaṣāyas are further sub grouped in four divisions as follow:

1. Anantānubandhī,
2. Apraytayākhyanī,
3. Pratyākhyanī.
4. Saṁjvalana.

Therefore we have 4 x 4 = 16 kaśāyas.


Example as follow:^[15]
