## The Eighth Chapter of the Tattvartha Sutra
**667**
The union of body, speech, and mind is called karma. This karma is known as *āsrava*. It is divided into two types based on its auspicious and inauspicious nature. Auspicious karma is the cause of auspicious *āsrava*, and inauspicious karma is the cause of inauspicious *āsrava*. ||57||
The masters of *āsrava* are two: *sakṣāya* (with *kaṣāya*) and *akaṣāya* (without *kaṣāya*). Similarly, there are two types of *āsrava*: *sāmprāyika* *āsrava* and *īryāpatha* *āsrava*. Those who have *kaṣāya* from *mithyādṛṣṭi* to *sūkṣma* *kaṣāya* in the *guṇasthāna* are *sakṣāya* and they are the masters of the initial *sāmprāyika* *āsrava*. Those who have *kaṣāya* from *upaśānta* *kaṣāya* to *sayoga* *kevali* are *akaṣāya* and they are the masters of the final *īryāpatha* *āsrava*. [The *ayoga* *kevali* residing in the fourteenth *guṇasthāna* is also *akaṣāya*, but due to the absence of *yoga*, they do not have *āsrava*]. ||58-59||
The five senses, four *kaṣāya*, five vows like non-violence, and twenty-five actions are the gateways of *sāmprāyika* *āsrava*. ||60||
Among these, the five senses, four *kaṣāya*, and five vows are well-known. Therefore, the nature of the twenty-five actions is explained. Worship of images, scriptures, *arhanta* deities, and true gurus, along with devotion, is known as *samyak* *kriyā*, which enhances *samyaktva*. ||61||
The tendency towards praising other deities due to the rise of evil is known as *mithyātva* *kriyā*, which enhances *mithyātva*. ||62||
The act of going and coming is known as *prayoga* *kriyā*, which generally enhances *asamyam*. ||63||
The tendency of a restrained person towards *asamyam* is known as *samādāna* *kriyā*, which enhances *pramāda*. ||64||
The action that is the cause of *īryāpatha* is known as *īryāpatha* *kriyā*. These five actions are the causes of *sāmprāyika* *āsrava*. ||65||
The action that arises due to the outburst of anger is known as *prādoṣika* *kriyā*. The effort of a person filled with faults is known as *kāyika* *kriyā*. ||66||
The action that involves taking up weapons and other instruments of violence is known as *kriyādhīkarinī* *kriyā*. The action that causes suffering to oneself and others is known as *pārītāpika* *kriyā*. ||67||
The action that causes the separation of the senses, lifespan, strength, and life is known as *prāṇātipātika* *kriyā*. These are the five *adhyātmika* actions. ||68||
Due to the mind being drenched in attachment, when a virtuous person becomes *pramāda*, he desires to see a beautiful form.
