**Harivamsha Purana**
The giver's nature is diverse, some are free from envy, sorrow, etc., while others are afflicted by them. The mind's movement is indeed diverse. ||189||
Among those who are worthy of receiving the gifts that are the cause of liberation, the difference in the purity of their minds is the characteristic of the recipient. ||190||
The flow of merit is said to be the cause of happiness and prosperity, while the flow of demerit is considered to be the cause of worldly suffering. ||191||
Thus, after describing the principle of *āsrava*, the divine voice of the Lord began to describe the principle of *bandha*.
False perception, non-restraint from violence, etc., delusion, passions, and yoga, which are present in the transformations of the soul, are the causes of bondage. ||192||
Among these, false perception is of two types: innate (unlearned) and learned. The lack of faith in the truth, which arises from the rise of falsehood, is innate false perception. ||193||
And the lack of faith in the truth, which arises from the teachings of others, is called learned false perception. This is of four types: action-oriented, inaction-oriented, respectful, and ignorant. ||194||
Besides these, false perception is also considered to be of five types, depending on the cause: solitary, opposite, respectful, ignorant, and doubtful.
To believe that a thing is of one nature, while it is actually of many natures, is solitary false perception, such as believing that a thing is eternal or non-eternal.
To believe the opposite of the true nature of a thing is opposite false perception, such as believing that there is virtue in violence, or that liberation is attained by wearing a garment.
To believe that all beings are equal, without distinguishing between gods and non-gods, and the true and the untrue, and to worship all of them, is respectful false perception.
To believe in something based on ignorance and tradition, without examining what is beneficial and harmful, is ignorant false perception.
To doubt whether right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct are the path to liberation or not, whether there is virtue in non-violence or violence, is doubtful false perception. ||195||
Not abandoning the killing of the six types of beings, namely, the five stationary and the three mobile, and not controlling the five senses and the mind, are the twelve types of non-restraint. Delusion is of many types, and there are twenty-five types of passions, including the nine root passions, along with their infinite consequences, such as anger, pride, deceit, and greed. ||196||
There are four types of mental yoga: true mental yoga, false mental yoga, mixed mental yoga, and unmixed mental yoga. There are four types of verbal yoga: true verbal yoga, false verbal yoga, mixed verbal yoga, and unmixed verbal yoga. There are five types of physical yoga: true physical yoga, false physical yoga, mixed physical yoga, unmixed physical yoga, and mixed physical yoga with food. Thus, there are thirteen types of yoga in total. ||197||
The difference in the nature of the gift given leads to a difference in the fruit of the gift. ||188||
Some givers are free from envy, sorrow, etc., while others are afflicted by them. This is the characteristic of the giver. The mind's movement is indeed diverse. ||189||
