Tattvārthasūtra
Though the four destructive karmas have been destroyed by Lord Jina, eleven afflictions arising from the feeling-producing (vedanīya) karmas are said to occur. It is argued that it is not proper to speak of afflictions in case of the Omniscient Lord Jina, as hunger and other afflictions do not occur in the absence of rise of the deluding (mohanīya) karmas. It is no doubt true. Though there are no afflictions of hunger, etc., owing to mere presence of material-karmas (dravyakarma) these are attributed to Lord Jina figuratively. With the destruction of knowledge-covering Gñānāvarana) karmas and the manifestation of omniscience which knows all things simultaneously, still meditation is attributed to Lord Jina, from the point of view of the destruction of karmas, the result of meditation. Otherwise, eleven afflictions 'do not arise' in case of Lord Jina is appropriate. 'Do not arise' must be supplied, as sūtra are supplemented in this way. It is admitted that the incomplete part of a sentence is to be supplied and it is within the rights of the commentator. Without the help of the rise of the deluding karmas, there are no afflictions such as hunger, etc. If some afflictions only occur to the saints in the tenth stage, etc., to whom do all of these occur?
