Darśanāvaraṇa

दर्शनावरण

The perception-obscuring karma: 9 sub-types, bound for an antarmuhūrta at the least and 30 koṭākoṭi sāgaropama at the most.

Nine sub-types: four that cover the four kinds of perception, and five kinds of sleep, from ordinary sleep to the somnambulism in which a being has the strength of half a Vāsudeva.

It ends at the close of the twelfth, with the other two obscuring karmas.

समयं गोयम! मा पमायए

Do not be heedless, Gautama, for even a single samaya.
