Explanation in English from 膧c膩rya P奴jyap膩da鈥檚 Sarv膩rthasiddhi:
The particular stages with regard to the afflictions have been ascertained. But what karmas cause what afflictions?
This is improper. What is improper? The affliction of ignorance is consistent with the presence of knowledge-covering (箩帽腻苍腻惫补谤补峁嘺) karmas. But extraordinary learning arises in the absence of knowledge-covering (箩帽腻苍腻惫补谤补峁嘺) karmas. The answer is that extraordinary learning, arising from destruction-cum-subsidence鈥�办峁测辞辫补艣补尘补鈥揵egets pride in the ascetic on the rise of other knowledge-covering (箩帽腻苍腻惫补谤补峁嘺) karmas. The affliction of (conceit of) extraordinary learning鈥�辫谤补箩帽腻鈥揹oes not arise on total destruction (办峁测补) of knowledge-covering (箩帽腻苍腻惫补谤补峁嘺) karmas. So it is appropriate to say that the affliction of (conceit of) extraordinary learning鈥�辫谤补箩帽腻鈥揳rises in the presence of knowledge-obscuring (箩帽腻苍腻惫补谤补峁嘺) karmas.
