Ghātiyā
Four karmas that harm the soul's own nature: they cover its knowledge, its perception, its clarity and its energy.
Jñānāvaraṇa, darśanāvaraṇa, mohanīya and antarāya. What distinguishes them is not their weight but their target: each obscures a quality the soul has by nature.
Their ending is what omniscience is. Mohanīya goes first, at the twelfth rung; the other three at its close; the soul that has shed all four is a kevalī at the thirteenth, still embodied, with only the four aghātiyā left to run out.

The obstructive karma: 5 sub-types, bound for an antarmuhūrta at the least and 30 koṭākoṭi sāgaropama at the most.
Five sub-types, obstructing five powers: giving, gaining, enjoying once, enjoying repeatedly, and energy itself.
It ends at the close of the twelfth; a kevalī's energy is unobstructed.
