णामं ठवणा दवियं भावोत्ति चउव्विहं हवे कम्मं । पयडी पावं कम्मं मलंति सण्णा हु णाममलं ॥५२॥ नाम स्थापना द्रव्यं भाव इति चतुर्विधं भवेत् कर्म । प्रकृतिः पापं कर्म मलमिति संज्ञा हि नाममलम् ॥ ५२ ॥
52. (There) are four aspects (Nikshepa or Nyása) of Karma :-(by) name, or negative (Náma), representation or representative (Sthápaná), privation or privative (Dravya), present or positive (Bhava). Prakriti (Nature of Karmic matter), Pápa (demerit), Karma (Karma), Mala (dirt), these terms (are ascribed) to the dirt (of Karmas) from the aspect of their names. See Tátvártha Sútra, S. B. J.
