## Tenth Uddeshak
[199 Discussion - "Ahakamma is the taking of food, and from this, karma is attached to the soul, or the soul is attached to karma." (This is Ahakamma)
2. "From the taking of Ahakamma, because a person who is in a pure state of restraint falls into impure states of restraint, again and again, this is called Bhava-Ahakamma."
3. "Bhava-Ahakamma is destroyed by the knowledge, vision, and conduct of the soul."
4. "Ahakamma, when it matures, becomes Parakamma, and the soul makes it its own, this is called Attakamma."
The commentator has explained the four meanings of Pradhaakarma:
1. Pradhaakarma is the taking of food, etc., which causes the soul to be covered by karma. Or, the soul is covered by karma.
2. Pradhaakarma is the taking of food, etc., which causes the soul to fall from pure states of restraint into impure states of restraint. Or, the soul repeatedly falls down.
3. Pradhaakarma is the taking of food, etc., which destroys the soul's qualities of Bhava, knowledge, vision, and conduct.
4. Pradhaakarma is the taking of food, etc., which results in the soul binding karma through the actions of a householder.

Vastra is of five types, and Paatra is of three types. ||2664|| Vashee-Ahakamma is of seven types each for the Moola-guna and Uttara-guna. ||2665||
