Names of 8 karma

The eight karmas (Ashta-Karma) in Jainism:

Ghatiya (destructive) karmas 1) Jnanavaraniya – knowledge-obscuring 2) Darshanavaraniya – perception-obscuring 3) Mohaniya – deluding (causes attachment, aversion, wrong belief/conduct) 4) Antaraya – obstructive (blocks energy, charity, enjoyment, etc.)

Aghatiya (non‑destructive) karmas 5) Vedaniya – feeling-producing (pleasure/pain) 6) Nama – body/form-determining (features, abilities, environment) 7) Gotra – status-determining (high/low esteem) 8) Ayushya – life‑span‑determining

Traditional Prakrit/Sanskrit names: ñānāvaraṇīya, darśanāvaraṇīya, mohanīya, antarāya, vedanīya, nāma, gotra, āyu.

Note: Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions accept these eight; explanations/terminology nuances may vary slightly, but the list is the same.
