________________ (92) : Nandanavana physical karmas. The mental passions and emotions associated with or originating from them are psychical karmas. These two are intimately related with each other causally and the main factors for our activities and behaviours in a cyclic way. The two types of karmas have been mentioned in another way also - virtuous and the wicked or merited and demerited depending on the good or bad intentions from which activities originate. 24 Besides, there are nine neo-karmas, which are different forms of conduct-deluding karma. The neo-karmas consist of either 19 types of varganās as per Dhavalā or twenty-two types as per Gommațasāra Jivakānda. The discrepancy is to be clarified. (g) Despite infinite types of actions and passions, all karmas are classified in eight types as shown as shown in Table I with important details. It is seen that faith/conduct deluding karma has very high proportion in attachment capacity with highest duration having an arbitrary value. Despite similarity in the basic structure of karma particles, they are able to transform themselves in the above eight forms depending on the nature and strength of passions and activities like conversion of food into many useful forms for body support, different functions of fire or tastes of water solutions. 20 It is, however, to be noted that varganās of different karmas are composed of different number of atoms.“ (h) The existence of karma is proved by the observable degrees of variation in positions, riches, knowledge, modifications, emotion, pleasures and pains, activities and their functions and passions. 28 Table 1: Details about Karmas Name Example Sub types Duration Attach- ment proportion Cause of bonding Max Min. 5 (a) Knowledge-.
