XXVI. BANDHI-SAYA.
The introductory gaha is not an usg. but enumerates the eleven qualities from the point of view of which souls and beings will be discussed in sayas XXVI-XXX: [kind of] soul, lessä, 'belonging to the [light or dark] half [of existence]' (pakkhiya), belief, knowledge, non-knowledge, instinct, 8 sex, passion, 10 activity and 11 imagination. The unusual sequences annāņa nāņa and uvaoga joga are due to the metre. For sayas XXVI-XLI see Introduction § 6.

la (928b) * A soul that has already bound karman (jive bandhi) may or may not again bind 'bad karman' (pāva kamma) in the present and ~ or in the future; consequently there are four cases: I) bandhai bandhissai, II) bandhai na bandhissai, III) na bandhai bandhissai, and IV) na bandhai na bandhissai. In the first place this depends on the above-mentioned eleven qualities of that soul. With most of these all four cases are possible. However, (1) for souls that have not the white lessä, that stand in the dark half [of their existence without beginning and end] (kanha-pakkhiya, see XIII 1a), that are heretic or partly so (sammāmicchädiṭṭhi), or that possess one of the three nonknowledges (are annāņi etc.), the instincts (sannôvautta), one of the three sexes (saveyaga etc.) or one of the first three passions (koha- māyā-kasai) only cases I and II are possible; (2) for souls devoid of passion (akasai) only cases III and IV are possible; (3) for souls devoid of lessa (alessa) and activity (ajogi) and endowed with omniscience (kevala-nāņi) only case IV is possible.
