Bondage and its two types under reference-When a man applies oil to his body and rolls in sand, dust particles stick to his body. In the same way when soul-space-points (jiva pradesh) get agitated due to unrighteousness (mithyatva), absence of restraint (avirati), stupor (pramaad), passions (kashaaya) and association (yoga) then infinite related karma-particles present in the surrounding space get fused with every soul-space-point of that soul. Fusion of karmas with soul-spacepoints, like mixing of water with milk, is called karmic bondage (bandh). The two types of bondage under reference here are-(1) Iryapathik-karma and (2) Samparayik-karma. The bondage of sata-vedaniya karma (the karma that causes feelings of pleasure) caused by association alone is called Iryapathik-karma bandh. What is responsible for cycles of rebirth in four genuses is called samparaaya or kashaaya (passion). The karmic bondage caused by these passions (samparaayas) is called Samparayikkarma bandh. This occurs from first to the tenth Gunasthaan (fourteen levels of purity of soul).
Iryapathik-karma bandh: genus, subject, period, alternatives, and range (1) Genus (swami)-Out of the four genuses only human beings acquire the bondage of Iryapathik-karma. Even among human beings only those at eleventh (Upashaant Moha), twelfth (Ksheen Moha), and thirteenth (Sayogi Kevali) Gunasthaan acquire this bondage. These human beings can be either, male or female. One who has already acquired Iryapathik-karma, that is who has passed the first Samaya of acquisition, is called purva pratipanna. Relative to this state that has already passed, this karma is acquired by many men and many women; this is because there is a large number of such men and women having already acquired this karma. Also, omniscient men and women always exist, therefore there is an absence of alternatives about this state. Relative to the present, or the first Samaya of acquisition (pratipadyamaan or in process of acquiring) there is always a chance of a gap. Therefore for this state there are eight alternatives based on different combinations of singularity and plurality of man and woman.
(2) The question about male, female and eunuch is in context of physical manifestation of gender (ling) and not gender-karma (veda). This is because the living being acquiring Iryapathik-karma are exclusively those who have either pacified or destroyed gender-karma (upashantavedi or ksheen-vedi). That is why the answer says that it is acquired by non-genderic beings (apagat-veda or veda rahit).
