As an example of the operation of the above four kammas,
the case of Devadatta may be cited. His good janaka-kamma
conditioned him to be born in a royal family. His continued
comforts and prosperity were due to the action of the janakakamma
as well as the supportive kamma. The obstructive kamma
came into play when he was excommunicated from the Saõgha
and subject to much humiliation. Then his serious immoral
kamma causing a schism in the Saügha operated as the
destructive kamma which sent him down to the avãci hell.
B Pàkadànapariyàya-kamma Catukka
With respect to the priority in bearing results, there are four
kinds of kamma:
1 Garuka-kamma
Weighty kamma which is so strong that no other kamma
can stop its function in the next life. In other words, it
certainly produces its results in the next life.
Bad weighty kammas are pa¤cànantariya kamma,
namely, (i) creating a schism in the Saügha, (ii)
wounding a Buddha, (iii) murdering an arahat, (iv)
matricide, and, (v) parricide. Niyata-micchàdiññhi
(permanent false view) is also termed as one of the
weighty kammas.
On the other hand, 5 råpàvacara-kusala kammas and
4 aråpàvacara-kusala kammas are good weighty kammas.
Lokuttara-magga is also a weighty force for it closes the
doors of the four apàya abodes for ever.
2 Asa¤¤à-kamma
Proximate kamma that is performed or remembered just
before death.
