The four that do not harm
Aghātiyā
अघातिया
Four karmas that shape a life without touching what the soul is: its feeling, its span, its body, its standing.
Vedanīya, āyu, nāma, gotra. A kevalī still carries all four, which is why an omniscient being still feels, still has a body, still has a lifespan to finish.
They end together at the close of the fourteenth rung: seventy-two in the penultimate moment and thirteen in the last, and the soul rises to Siddhaśilā.

Two sub-types, high and low. Not caste: the standing a birth carries, and nothing about the soul.
Eight muhūrta at the shortest, twenty koṭākoṭi sāgaropama at the longest, ending at the close of the fourteenth.
