Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi:
If the first kind of deluding (mohanīya) karmas cause one affliction, how many afflictions are caused by the second type?
Delusion (moha) has been said to cause afflictions like nakedness–nāgnya, mentioned above. But how can the affliction of posture–niṣadyā, be caused by the rise of delusion (moha)? On the rise of delusion (moha), thoughts of violence arise. And avoidance of injury is the object of the posture–niṣadyā. That is why the affliction of the posture–niṣadyā–has been said to fall under the conduct-deluding (cāritramoha) karmas and not under the feeling (vedanīya) karmas.
