application of the three-resp., see 12 above, one or two[other] instrumental forces (karana): inner sense, speech and body.
3 (254b) The accumulation of the constituent particles of a garment has both a beginning and an end (s'ādīya sapajjavasiya), it is neither without beginning nor without end (no ana. no ap.). That of karman may be [1] s'ā. sap., namely in the case of the monk binding karman as a result of his discharging the religious duties (iriyavahiya-bandha, see III 31d); [2] anā. sap., namely in the case of the being that will achieve salvation (bhava-siddhiya); [3] aṇā. ap., namely with beings incapable of salvation (abh.-s.); but it never is s'a. ap.

As to the garment itself, it is s'a. sap. whereas [1] HAMG, from the point of view of their repeated rebirths, are s'a. sap.; [2] Siddhas, as such, are s'a. ap. ; [3] bhava-siddhiyas are aṇā. sap. and [4] abhava-siddhiyas are aṇā. ap.
bhava-siddhiya laddhim paḍucca means those who [from eternity] have acquired the state of such as will attain liberation', abhava-siddhiyā samsaram paducca 'those who [from eternity] are bound to roam through samsara without the possibility of ever attaining liberation'. One is bh.-s. or abh.-s. by what might be called predestination; consequently bh.-s. and abh.-s. not only as beings but also as such are both aṇādīya.-On the Siddhas Abhay. quotes three gāhās in the second of which we must read sabbhavo instead of savvabhavo (J. P. ed.).
4 (255a) Minimum and maximum duration of the binding (bandha-ṭṭhii, kamma-tṭhii; elsewhere also in short thi) of the eight karmans and the duration of their incubation-period (abāhā). The period of effectiveness of a karman equals its thii less its abāhā (abāh'ūņiyā kamma-ṭṭhii kamma-nisego).
According to Abhay. some say that the abaha is not included in the thii but must be added to it.-The term nise(g)a, he says, describes the particular course by which the karmic mass is experienced (karma-niṣeko nama karmadalikasyânubhavanârtham racana-viseṣaḥ): it diminishes samaya after samaya as if drip by drip (nişiñcati) until the last bit of it at the end of the utkṛṣṭasthiti flows away. One gahā is quoted.

(257b) Discussion of the question whether certain beings bind, do not bind or may and may not bind the eight karmans. The beings in question are: [1] male, female, neuter or sexless (no puriso etc.: vedôdaya-rahitaḥ, Abhay.); [5] controlled, un
