सचित्र उत्तराध्ययन सूत्र
यह छह दिशाओं का कर्मबन्ध सम्बन्धी नियम द्वीन्द्रिय जीवों से लेकर पंचेन्द्रिय तक जीवों को लक्ष्य में रखकर बताया गया है। एकेन्द्रिय जीवों के लिये तो कभी तीन कभी चार, कभी पाँच और कभी छह दिशाओं का उल्लेख है।
"
त्रयस्त्रिंश अध्ययन [ ४५६
ज्ञानावरणादि सभी कर्म आत्मा के सभी असंख्यात प्रदेशों से बंधते हैं, अमुक प्रदेशों पर ही नहीं आत्मा के प्रदेश बुद्धिपरिकल्पित हैं, पुद्गल की तरह मिलने बिछुड़ने वाले परमाणु जैसे नहीं।
गाथा १९-२० - प्रस्तुत में बेदनीय कर्म की जघन्य स्थिति भी अन्तर्मुहूर्त ही बतायी गई है, जबकि अन्यत्र १२ मुहूर्त का उल्लेख है। टीकाकार कहते हैं, इसका क्या अभिप्राय है, हम नहीं जानते । " तदभिप्रायं न विद्मः ।"

Salient Elucidations
Gatha 3-The meaning of word samasa is brief. Briefly the kannas are eight. This denotes that how much are living beings so much are the karmas, i.e., karmas are infinite. Here by special conception eight kinds of karmas are described.
Gāthā 6-General or common sleep is sleep. Which can be broken by efforts is sleep-sleep or deep sleep. To sleep while sitting is pracală. To sleep while walking or moving is pracala-pracală.
Styanardhi means, in which there is most addictment and accumulation, that sleep. The person addicted to such sleep begets the half strength of Vasudeva and the person effected by intense attachment-detachment may do the impossible tasks in the effect of this type of sleep and he could not be even aware of the fact that what I have done.
Gāthā 9-The micro particles of right faith illusory karmas are pure, so in the rise of this right faith of interest to elements is attained; but the transgressions of doubt etc., all persists. The micro particles of right-wrong faith are mixture of pure and impure.
Gatha 10 The prefix 'no' in the word nokasaya means alike. Which is equal to pasions or auxiliary-helpful to passions, those mirths etc., are auxiliary passions (nokasayas).
Gāthā 11-Which can be used only once is called 'bhoga' e.g., food, water etc., and which can be used many times is called 'upabhoga' e.g., clothes, omaments, house etc.
Donator, thing to be given, donator is well aware of the sweet fruits of charity-still the absence of zeal and intention to give is called hindrance of charity.
The person expert in begging could get nothing from a liberal donator, then it is the effect of gain hindrance.
Being owner of wealth, fortune etc., but absence of capability even to break up a straw, is called power hindrance,
There are innumerable types of all these by the gradation of minimum, medium and maximum.
Gatha 17-The quantity to be bound the micro particles of karmas to soul in a moment (undivisible shortest particle of time) is infinite. It means that at every pradesa of soul, the karmavarganas stick. Which are composed by infinite of infinite atoms (molecules) of matter.
These infinite karma vargaņās are infinite times more than the infinite numbers of abhavya souls and infinite-part of infinite number of perfected souls. It means that liberated souls are infinite times more than the infinite karma-varganas, which stick or bound to soul in an undivisible shortest particle of time.
