Bhagavai 5:4:68-71
- 225:
karma. There is only one alternative in the case of plurality of souls and one-sensed souls-all of them bind seven types and eight types of karma.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 68-71
There are two classes of conduct-deluding karma-passions and quasipassions. Quasi-passions stand for something like passions or auxiliary passions. The first type of quasi-passions is laughter. Siddhasenagani has mentioned many kinds of laughter--such as utprāsana (joking etc.).' The Tattvärtha Vārtika also has mentioned them.
Excitement is a kind of relish (rativedaniya). In the Uttarajjhayanāņi, it is said that renunciation of pleasure produces absence of excitement, resulting in the destruction of the conduct-deluding karma." 2. He binds seven types of karma ....... or eight types of karma
There are two broad division of karmika bondage. The binding of the lifespan-determining karma occurs only once in life time, so generally speaking there is the division of the binding of the seven types of karma. The division of the binding of the eight types of karma happens at the time of binding of the life-span determining karma. 3. The sūtras for the jīvas in plural (prthaktva sūtras)
The word 'prthaktva sutra' means—the sütra with a word in plural. In the sūtras when the word jīva is in the plural, there are three alternatives in the nineteen classes (dandakas), excepting the word jīva and the one-sensed beings (earth, water, fire, air and vegetation). Under the term jīva and the one-sensed beings, there are many souls, so there is only one alternative consisting of many souls binding seven types of karma and many souls binding eight types of karma. The constitution of three alternatives is made thus:
(1) All souls that bind seven types of karma.
(2) All souls (except one) bind seven types of karma and only one soul binds cight types of karma.
(3) Many souls bind seven types oi karma and many souls bind eight types of karma.
There exist laughter and excitement in the one-sensed beings such as earthbodied beings and the like. According to the Vrtti, laughter, excitement etc. are the consequences of the karma of past life. In the present life also (of one-sensed beings), laughter and excitement exist in dormant condition.
