the soul-vibrations and so there are different stages of karmic nature (Prakriti Sthána) and different degrees of the molecular bondage (Pradesha Sthána.)
The remaining two, i.e., the “ Daration" and the fruition of karmic bondage are determined by passions, anger, pride, deceit and greed, etc,
Thus the duration and fruition of karmic molecules bound to the soul vary according to the mildness or intensity of the passions and so there are different stages of duration bondage (sthiti bandha Sthána) and various grades of fruition bondage (Anubhága Sthána).
Udaya Sthána. When the karmic molecules already bound to the soul come into operation, they manifest their mild or strong fruition, i.e., the effect. So there are different degrees of the operation of the karmas (Udaya sthána) as well.
Gatha 41. Thought-activities of soul caused by operation of Karmas are of four kinds :
1. (Aupashamika Bháva) subsidential thought-activity. This arises by the subsidence of the deluding (Mohaniya) Karmic matter
2. Destructive-thought-activity (Ksháyika Bháva). It arises from the destruction of any of the four destructive (Ghatiya) Karmas.
3. Destructive-subsidential thought-activity (Kshayopashamika Bháva). It arises by the partial destruction, partial subsidence and partial operation of any of the destructive Karmas.
4. Operative thought-activity (Audayika Bháva). It arises by the operation of any of the Karmas.
In reality, the thought-activities of a soul are innumerable, so naturally there are various gradations in all the above-mentioned thought-activities, according to, the subsidence, destruction and operation, etc., of the Karmas.
Gatha 42. 1. Nucles (yoni) is the place whereto the mundane souls transmigrates, after leaving the previous body. The process of formation and development of the new external body begins there. Nuclei are of various kinds, according to their nature, structure, etc.
They are eighty-four lakhs in number.
