[492] [From the Prajñāpanā [1587-1] In the same way as the Jñānāvaraṇīya karma, the Darshanāvaraṇīya, Vedaniya, Mohaniya, Prāyuṣya, Nāma, Gotra and Antarāyika, these eight types of karma-prakr̥tis (should be called the nourishers of the actions that bind a single jīva or a single nairyāyika up to the Vaimānika, or that bind many jīvas or many nairyāyikas up to the Vaimānikas.) [2] Egatt-pohattiya solas danda-ga. [1587-2] There are sixteen danda-kas (of the supporting group) of unity and separateness / The discussion in this three-sūtra (sū. 1585 to 1587) presenting the form of actions dependent on the eight types of karma-bandha, describes the form of the number of actions that bind jīvas due to prāṇātipāta etc. and cause the binding of Jñānāvaraṇīya etc. karma. The meaning of the present question - It was said earlier in this verse that a jīva binds seven or eight karmas due to the determination of prāṇātipāta etc. sin. Here it is explained that how many actions does he perform while binding Jñānāvaraṇīya etc. karma, starting from kāyikī etc.? And here the difference in the cessation of the cause called prāṇātipāta from the effect called Jñānāvaraṇīya karma is also explained. From that difference, a particular type of binding is also revealed / It is also said - "Violence is ended (completed) by three, four or five actions respectively, but if there is equality of yoga and pradveṣa, then there is a specific binding / The meaning of the answer - While explaining the difference in the cessation of the same prāṇātipāta, it is said in the answer that perhaps it is of three actions, etc. When it is of three actions, then it ends prāṇātipāta by the kāyikī, prādhīkaranikī and prādvēṣikī actions. By kāyikī, he uses his hands, feet etc. (activity or business), by prādhīkaranikī, he gathers or sharpens a sword etc., and by prādvēṣikī, he has an evil conception (thought) in his mind like 'I will kill him' / When it is of four actions, then in addition to the kāyikī, grādhīkaranikī, prādvēṣikī actions, it also becomes associated with the fourth 'pārītāpanikī' action, i.e. it also becomes associated with the pārītāpanikī action by inflicting pain through the striking (hitting) of a sword etc. When it is of five actions, then in addition to the aforementioned four actions, it also becomes associated with the fifth prāṇātipātikī action. That is, it also becomes associated with the prāṇātipāta action by depriving him of life. 'Tikiriye' etc. words mean - Jīvas are always many while binding the Jñānāvaraṇīya karma, therefore there are also those who have three actions, those who have four actions and those who have five actions. In this way, the discussion of actions has been done taking one jīva, one nairyāyika etc., and many jīvas or many nairyāyika etc. twenty-four danda-ka-vrtti jīvas. 1. Prajñāpanā.
