Then follows the treatment of sthiti and abädhäkāla (1697-1704). About Abădhākala we are told as to how long a particular type of karma can remain associated with a living being without giving its proper fruit. After that it describes as to how long a particular karma can abide in the living beings belonging to the classes of the one-sensed upto the five-sensed having higher cognitive faculty (1705-14). For the description of maximum and minimum duration of karmas one may refer to Satkhandāgama, Book VI, Cūlikas 6 & 7. And for the treatment of abādha, nişeka, etc. one may again consult the same work, Book XI, Cülikā I, p. 139.17
Then we are told as to which living beings can bind the karmas of maximum (1745–52) or minimum duration (1742-44).
Karmabandhapada (24th chapter) discusses the question, viz. bandha of which karmas takes place along with the bandha of this or that karma ? This question is discussed in connection with 24 classes of living beings (1755-68). Similarly, Karmavedana pada (25th chapter) treats the question, viz. vedana of which karmas takes place along with the bandha of this or that karma ? And Karmavedabandhapada (26th chapter) discusses the question, viz. bandha of which karmas takes place along with the vedana of this or that karma (1776-86) ? At last Karmavedavedakapada (27th chapter) treats the question, viz. vedana of which karmas takes place along with the vedana of this or that karma (1787-92)?
17. Study the following passage from Āc. Malayagiri's commentary :
"etāvată ca yad uktam agrāyaṇīyākhye dvitīya pūrve karmaprakstiprābhste bandha-vidhane sthitibandhādhikāre-catvāry an uyogadvārāņi tadyathasthiti-bandha-sthānaprarūpaņā abādhākaņda kaprarūpanā utkrstanişekaprarupaņā alpabahutvaprarūpaņā ca iti" (folio 479), Compare this with the abovementioned portion of Satkhandāgama,
