Karma

Karma in Jain doctrine is matter: eight kinds that cling to the soul, each with a longest and a shortest hold the Tattvārtha gives in the same units as the ages of the world — thirty koṭākoṭi sāgaropama for four, seventy for the deluding karma, twenty for name and status, and thirty-three sāgaropama with no koṭākoṭi for lifespan, because no life lasts longer than the longest life in the seventh hell or the highest heaven. The fourteen guṇasthānas are the stages by which a soul sheds them: the ground of wrong belief, the climb from right belief through the vows, and near the top a fork — the suppressors' ladder to the eleventh rung, from which the fall is certain, and the destroyers' to the twelfth and the crown. Hemacandra gives every rung a duration; the last lasts long enough to say five short vowels. Follows the Śvetāmbara reckoning throughout.

All of it is also walkable as an interactive atlas of nested maps.
