Antarāya karma (5 sub groups)
This karma is sub divided in five groups:

  1. Dānāntarāya karma - This karma obstructs rendering benevolence (charity).
  2. Lābhāntarāya karma - This karma, obstructs attaining profit.
  3. Bhogāntarāya karma - This karma obstructs enjoying things like food which can be enjoyed once.
  4. Upbhogāntarāya karma - This karma, obstructs enjoying things like dress, house which can be enjoyed several times.
  5. Vīryāntarāya karma - This karma obstructs the emergence of spiritual energy.

The above mentioned S.no. 1, 2, 4 and 8 karmas effect the true nature of the soul and that is why they are called Ghāti karma while S.no. 3, 5, 6, 7 do not effect the true nature of the soul but effect the body in while soul abodes. So they are called Aghāti karmas.[69]
