In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 8: Bondage of karmas顿补谤艣补苍腻惫补谤补峁嘺 (啶︵ぐ啷嵿ざ啶ㄠぞ啶掂ぐ啶�) or Dar艣an膩vara峁嚹珁a refers to 鈥減erception obscuring (karmas)鈥� and represents one of the eight types of Prak峁泃i-bandha (species bondage): one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattv膩rthas奴tra chapter 8.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥渨hat is meant by obscuring (腻惫补谤补峁嘺)? It means to put a veil or cover or to hide. The cover used to hide is called 腻惫补谤补峁嘺. What is meant by perception obscuring karma (dar艣an腻惫补谤补峁嘺)? The karma which obscures or covers the perception attribute of the soul is called perception obscuring karma鈥�.
The nine types of perception obscuring karmas (dar艣an腻惫补谤补峁嘺) are:
- ocular perception (肠补办峁谤-诲补谤艣补苍补),
- non-ocular perception (补肠补办峁蝉-诲补谤艣补苍补),
- clairvoyant perception (补惫补诲丑颈-诲补谤艣补苍补),
- perfect perception (办别惫补濒补-诲补谤艣补苍补),
- sleep (苍颈诲谤腻),
- deep-sleep (苍颈诲谤腻苍颈诲谤腻),
- drowsiness (sleep in sitting posture) (辫谤补肠补濒腻),
- heavy drowsiness (辫谤补肠补濒腻辫谤补肠补濒腻),
- somnambulism/sleep walking (committing cruel deeds while asleep) (蝉迟测腻苍补驳峁沝诲丑颈 or 蝉迟测腻苍补谤诲诲丑颈).
Perception (诲补谤艣补苍补) is of four types. Why nine types of perception obscuring karmas are mentioned here? It is true that perception is of four types only. But we have perception first and then knowledge manifestation. The remaining five i.e. sleep etc do not let one perceive and hence do not let manifestation of knowledge take place. Therefore these five types of sleep have been included here also.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
