[81118755] That which is the cause of the body of a stationary being is called *sthāvara* karma. That which is the cause of happiness from its arising is called *subhaga* karma. That which is the cause of unhappiness even though it is associated with qualities like form, etc., from its arising is called *durbhaga* karma. That which is the cause of the production of a pleasing voice is called *susvara* karma. The opposite of this is *duhsvara* karma. That which is the cause of being pleasing from its arising is called *subha* karma. The opposite of this is *asubha* karma. That which is the cause of a subtle body is called *sukshma* karma. That which is the cause of a body that is a hindrance to others is called *bādhara* karma. That which is the cause of the fulfillment of needs like food, etc., from its arising is called *paryāpti* karma. It is of six types: *āhāra-paryāpti* karma, *śarīra-paryāpti* karma, *indriya-paryāpti* karma, *prāṇāpāna-paryāpti* karma, *bhāṣā-paryāpti* karma, and *manaḥ-paryāpti* karma. That which is the cause of the absence of these six types of fulfillments is called *aparyāpti* karma. That which is the cause of stability is called *sthira* karma. The opposite of this is *asthira* karma. That which is the cause of a body that is endowed with radiance is called *ādeya* karma. That which is the cause of a body that is devoid of radiance is called *anādeya* karma. That which is the cause of the propagation of virtuous qualities is called *yaśaḥ-kīrti* karma. The opposite of this is *ayaśaḥ-kīrti* karma. That which is the cause of becoming an Arhant is called *tīrthakara* karma.
**Special Note:** Here, the functions of the *nāma* karmas in their subsequent states are discussed. There are eight *mūla* karmas. Out of these, seven are considered *jīva-vipāki*. *Nāma* karma is both *jīva-vipāki* and *pudgala-vipāki*. Those karmas whose result is in the *jīva* are *jīva-vipāki*, and those whose result is in the *pudgala* like the body, etc., are *pudgala-vipāki*. This is their literal meaning. Keeping this in mind, it is necessary to discuss their meaning in detail. Generally, all karmas bind by becoming the cause of the *jīva's* delusion, attachment, aversion, etc., therefore their result is in the *jīva* itself. That is, the *jīva* acquires the respective abilities from the arising of these karmas. Still, what is the reason for making distinctions like *jīva-vipāki*, *pudgala-vipāki*, *kṣetra-vipāki*, and *bhava-vipāki*? This is what we need to see here. The *jīva's* samsara is due to the union of the *jīva* and *pudgala*. While residing there, he takes birth in various *gatis*, dies, and assumes various bodies according to them. This cannot happen without a cause, therefore various types of karmas are considered to be the cause of their attainment. Those which are called *bhava-vipāki* in the scriptures are called by that name because they are caused by a particular state in that particular *paryāya*. Those which are called *kṣetra-vipāki* maintain the *jīva's* form during the interval when he is going from one *gati* to another. Those which are called *pudgala-vipāki* are helpful in the attainment of various types of bodies and sense organs capable of enjoyment, and those which are called *jīva-vipāki* help in the *jīva's* various types of *pariṇāmas* and his various states.
