Bhagavan! A living being who abstains from killing living beings binds how many types of karmic matter (karmaprakritis)? Gautama! He becomes a sevenfold binder (saptavidhbandhakas) or a onefold binder (ekavidhbandhakas), or an eightfold binder (ashtavidhbandhakas), or a sixfold binder (shadvidhbandhakas), or an unbinder (abandhakas), or a controller (prabandhakas). Similarly, it should be stated regarding the case of a human being (binding karmic matter).
