Dravya-Sangraha "भावबन्धनिमित्तेन संश्लेषो जीवकर्मणोः । TSH 77: STATTĪST 5 oraret cet: Fa: 11"
i, e. "That union of Jiva and Karma which is caused by Bhava-bandha and is of four kinds, is called Dravya-bandha by the learned."
Bandha is, therfore, the assimilation of matter existing in many Pradesas by Jiva, when it is excited by Kasaya (i. e. attachment and aversion ). We have already described the results of this bondage in the comnentary on Verse 7.

COMMENTARY. When there is an influx of matter into the soul, certain energies (Karma) are produced which consist of boudage of the soul with matter. It has been stated before that Karma is of eight kinds: Jnanavaraniya, Darsanavaraniya, Vedaniya, Mohaniya, Ayu, Nama, Gotra and Antaraya. What is the natur.. of each of these eight kinds of Karma ? The nature of the first two kinds of Karma is to obscure Jnana and Darsana respectively, that of the third to produce happiness or misey ; that of the fourth to produce illusion; that of the fifth to attach a soul to a body for a certain period, that of the sixth to produce Shape ; that of the seventh to cause birth in high and low families, and that of the eighth to put obstacles to several character istics of the soul.
