Now, what is the characteristics of fruitional or intensity bondage? The next aphorism describes about it: VIPĀKO ANUBHAVAH 8.21. The fruitional or intensity bondage is defined as the power or intensity of specified ripening or maturation of the different karmic species. 8.21. 1. The knowledge-obscuring etc. karmas have self-serving or selfharming functions. Their maturation is called specific as it is dependent upon the earlier influx of intense or mild volitions. Alternatively, the maturation may be manifolded with respect to the differences due to substantivity, location, time, birth and current mode. The karmic maturation ( or ripening) is called fruition or experiencing (Anubhava). The intensity of auspicious volitions result in the intense experiencing of auspicious karmic species and little experiencing of inauspicious species. In contrast, there is experience of inauspicious karmic species due to intense inauspicious volitions and little experiencing of auspicious species. (The 'experiencing' here may be termed as fruitional intensity bondage). The bondage acquired due to the above causes operates in two ways (1) by its own nature and (2) by the nature of the alien. The primary karmic species are generally experienced through their own natures only. However, the homologous secondary karmic species may be experienced through the nature of the alien also except in the case of life-span karma, faith-deluding and conduct-deluding karmas.
