D. Luminous body-based: (i) Quasi-karmic spacepoints of one luminous body and another luminous body (ii) quasi-karmic spacepoints of luminous body and karmic body. E.

The embodied bond (two body bond) has two varieties (i) eternal and (ii) non-eternal. The eternal bond is represented by the eight central space points in the living being occupying up and down positions in fours like beads in the garlands which never separate from oneanother. The non-eternal bond is represented by all other space-points coming into bonding due to contraction and expansion caused by karmic factors.
Alternatively, just as anger-transformed soul is designated as anger, similarly the body-transformed soul may be designated as body like the red-hot iron mass undergoing oneess due to bonding. Thus, all the above said fifteen types of bonds may also be applied in case of embodied bonds. These body bonds have been mentioned with respect to the prominence of gross body etc.
