## Introduction
From them, respectively, there is the inflow of merit (punyaasrava) and the inflow of demerit (paapasrava). If this is not the case, then the faults mentioned above are inevitable.

Those happiness and suffering that are born from auspicious consequences or are their generators, from them there is the inflow of merit, and those that are born from inauspicious consequences or are their generators, they are by rule the cause or effect of the inflow of demerit.

Therefore, the cause of bondage is not only ignorance, and the cause of liberation is not only partial knowledge. In reality, bondage is established by concomitance and difference in the presence of delusion, and liberation is established in the absence of delusion. Ignorance is associated with bondage, and knowledge is...
