Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

In the first layer things are seen indistinctly; in the second even a needle's eye cannot be seen; in the third things below are not seen and objects look like hair, mosquitoes or flies; in the fourth, timira blocks sight completely and is called linganasha.

Detailed answer

Verses 211 to 215 describe these stages. A small amount of kapha lodged in the first three layers is said to cause night blindness (naktandhya), while timira reaching the fourth layer is linganasha, which has six kinds.
