Jaina Karmology is called maturing-in-mattergy (Pudgalavipäki) as well as maturing-insoul too. The maturing-in-soul karmas are those which help in having different types and states of dispositions and volitions like attachment, aversion etc. The maturing-in-mattergy karmas are those which help in having different types of bodies and senses for enjoyment. The maturing-in-birth state karmas are those which help in having birthstates in different destinities (Bhāva-vipāki) The maturing-in-location (Kșetra- vipāki) karmas are those which help in maintaining the shape and size of the living beings during the interval of transit motion form one destinity to other destinity. Thus, all these eight karmas can be grouped under four heads as above. The specific species are realised due to specific causes of mattergy, living units, location and with state of course. It should be taken that only internal causes are responsible for this classification, though, somtimes external causes too play some
part.
The primary types of species bond have been eight-foldly described. What are the varieties of secondary species bond ? The aphorism 8.5 mentions about them : _
PANCA-NAVA-DVI-ASTĀVINSATI-CATUR-DVI-CATVA RINŠAD-DVI-PANCA-BHEDAYATHAKRAMAM 8.5
The secondary or sub-species bondage (referring to the varieties of primary karmic species) has five, nine, two, twenty eight, four , forty two, two and five varieties respectively 8.5. 1. The numeral words beginning from five and ending in five form the coupling compound (Dvandva Samāsa). These are the kinds of the primary species bondage. Thus, the primary species are involved through this coupling compound which is followed by the adjectival compound (Bahubrihi) here. 2.Q. There should be the word 'Second' (Dvitiya) in the aphorism to indicate that these are the varieties representing secondary species bondage. A. This is not necessary. This is implied by the maxim of remainders. The primary species bondage has been detailed earlier (in aph. 8.4). This is suggestive of the fact that this aphorism describes the secondary species bondage. 3-4. The word 'varieties' (kinds, bheda) is applied to all the numerals here in the proper order of primary species. Thus, we have five types of knowledge-obscuring karma, nine types of conationobscuring karma and the like.
