IMPORTANT NOTES
Verse 3—The meaning of the word samaas is brief. In brief there are eight karmas. This statement conveys that generally speaking the total number of karmas is equal to the number of living beings, which is infinite. However, from the angle of classification they have been divided into eight classes.
Verse 6—The natural slumber is nidra (sleep). The deep sleep that is breaks only with effort is nidra-nidra. To doze while sitting is prachala. To sleep while walking is prachala-prachala.
Styaanardhi is the deep sleep that is accompanied by sentiments of covetousness. Such sleep, it is said, gives half the strength of Vaasudeva; and the person, driven by intense attachment or aversion, performs impossible tasks without being aware.
Verse 9—The righteousness deluding karmas are clusters of pure ultimate particles; as such on fruition they impart righteousness in the form of interest in fundamentals but it entails transgressions including skepticism and doubt. The unrighteousness deluding karmas are clusters of impure ultimate particles and they impart misplaced interest in fundamentals (considering unreal to be real and real to be unreal). The righteousness-cum-unrighteousness deluding karmas are clusters of pure and impure ultimate particles, a mixture of pure and impure.
Verse 10—The prefix 'no' in the word nokashaaya means alike. Similar to or associated with passions (kashaya) are or auxiliary passions (nokashaaya), like mirth.
Verse 11—Indulgence in things or consumables that can be used only once is called bhoga, such as eating food, water and the like. That in things or durables that can be used repeatedly is called upabhoga, such as dress, ornaments, house and the like. Failure to indulge in these is called the effect of momentary enjoyment and continued enjoyment hindering karmas.
Not to indulge in charity even when there is intent, material and awareness of the benefits is called the effect of charity-hindering karma.
Inability to get charity even when the seeker is experienced and donor is generous is called the effect of gain-hindering karma.
Inability to break even a straw when there is enough strength and means including wealth and grandeur is called the effect of power-hindering karma.
From minimum to maximum, there are numerous sub-classes of all these karmas.
Verse 17—The number of ultimate particles of karma fusing with soul in one Samaya is infinite. This means that at each and every section (pradesha) of soul clusters made up of infinite ultimate particles of various characteristics (karma-varganas) get fused in one Samaya.
This infinite number) is infinite times more than the number of souls that are never to be liberated) and infinite fraction of the number of the liberated souls (Siddhas). This means that liberated souls are infinite times more than the infinite karma-varganas that fuse in one Samaya.
The word granthika-satva means the soul unworthy of being liberated. The knot of attachment-aversion of the unworthy is indestructible. That is why the name granthika or granthikasatva (soul).
