पश्च नव द्वौ अष्टाविंशतिः चत्वारः क्रमेण त्रिनवतिः। द्वौ च पश्च च भणिता एताः सत्त्वप्रकृतयः॥३८॥
38. 5, 9, 2, 28, 4, 93, 2, and 5 respectively are said to be the sub-classes of (Karmic molecules) in Attendance (or Existence, Sattá).
Commentary. Under the influence of vibratory activity, and passions, Karmic molecules are attracted to, and bound with, a mundane soul, for a period. This is Bondage, Bandha. So long as they remain in Bondage, without coming into operation, they are said to be in attendance, Sattá. During the period, they gradually come into operation, and shed off. This is called their operation, Udaya. In all these changes, there always remains a body of Karmic molecules attendant upon the soul. It is called Sattá. Sattá may be roughly compared to a stream of running water. Within a particular area of the river, the water remains more or less the same in volume, although it is changing every moment as to the material water which is constantly flowing away. The volume which is more or less constant is like Sattá. Of course the Karmas in Sattá fall off by austerities, etc. or on maturity. There are 148 sub-classes of attendant Karmic molecules.

(Include) mixed-right-and-wrong-belief, Samyaktva-mithátva, also for the non-bondage (enumeration, i. e, in operation and attendance).
Commentary. Samyaktva-Mithyátva has also been counted a different kind of all-destructive Prakriti. Thus leaving it, we have 20, and includ
