Pride, Deceit and Greed (Anantanubandhi Krodha, Maan, Maya and Lobha) and is of four types according to four passions. It is like a line
engraved on the stone which cannot be removed. (ii). When the Karma bondage is less severe but still such that the four
passions do not permit adoption of even minor vows (Anuvratas) of layman of Non-violence, Truth, Non-theft, Continence and Noncovetousness, this Karma Bondage is called Non-adoption (of vows) Karma of Anger, Pride, Deceipt and Greed (Apratyakhanavarni Karma)
and is also of four types. (iii) Slightly less severe than the above are the four types of Karma bondage
pertaining to each of the four Kashaya (Passions) which permit adoption of minor vows or vows of layman i.e. Anuvratas but do not permit acceptance of major vows or vows of saints i.e. Mahavratas in respect of Non-violence etc. and are called Pratyakhanivarni Karma and are also of
the four types viz., Anger, Pride, Deceipt, and Greed. (iv) Even lesser in severity are the four Karma Bondage which may not
obstruct acceptance of major vows or Mahavratas but may cause blemishes and minor breaches in the proper acceptance and implementation of the major vows of non-violence etc. These are called Sanjvalan Karma relating to Anger, Pride, Deceipt and Greed and are also of four types. 25 D (II) (b). Nine Pseudo-passion (Nokashaya Mohaneeya Karma)
categories of Conduct Deluding (Charitra
Mohaneeya) Karma. While there are four main passions called Kashayas there are nine Pseudopassions or sub-passions called No-kashaya which are attendant upon and lead to the intensification of the four passions viz. Anger, Pride, Deceipt and Greed. These nine are: (i) Laughter (Hasya), (ii) Attraction (Rati), (iii) Repulsion (Arati), (iv) Fear (Bhaya), (v) Grief (Shok), (vi) Hatred (Ghrina), (vii) Feminine (Stree Veid), (viii) Masculine (Purush Veid) and (ix) Neuter (Napusank Veid). These sub-passions are described below along with the causes leading to them in brief - (i) Laughter-Deluding (Hasya Mohaneeya) Karma Bondage is caused by
ridicule of true religion, poor people and undue loud laughter and results
in non-serious disposition and unjustified tendency towards laughter. (ii) Attraction Deluding (Rati Mohaneeya) Karma Bondage is
caused by non-restraint in life and indifference in the observance
