Bhagavai 6:3:42-45
-: 375:Gautama! the souls, with bio-potential accomplished, in some respect bind, in some respect do not bind, the souls, with bio-potential not accomplished bind, the souls which are amenable to bio-potential accomplished or not accomplished do not bind. In the same way, excluding the life-span-determining karma, all the remaining seven types of karma are to be described. As regards the life-span-determining karma, the first two, in some respect bind it, in some respect do not
bind. The last one never binds. 6.43 nāņāvaranijjam nam bhamte! kammam kim bhāsae bamdhai? abhāsae
bamdhai? goyamā! do vi bhayanāe. evam vedanijjavajjão satta vi. vedanijjam bhāsae bamdhai, abhāsae bhayanāe. Is the knowledge-covering karma, O Lord! bound by the bhāsaka (soul equipped with bio-potential of speech)? Bound by the abhāşaka (soul not equipped with or not amenable to bio-potential of speech)? Gautama! both of them, in some respect bind, in some respect do not bind. In the same way, excluding the sensation-producing karma, all the remaining seven types of karma are to be described. The soul, equipped with bio-potential of speech, binds the sensation-producing karma, while the soul, not equipped with bio-potential of speech or not amenable to bio-potential of
speech, in some respect binds and in some respect does not. 6.44 nānāvaranijjam nam bhumte! kammam kim paritte bamdhai? aparitte bamdhai?
noparitte noaparitte bamdhai? goyamā! paritte bhayanāe, aparitte bamdhai. noparitte noaparitte na bamdhai. evam āugavajjāo satta kammappagadio. āuyam paritte vi, aparitte vi bhayanāe, noparitte noaparitte na bamdhai. Is the knowledge-covering karma, O Lord! bound by the parīta (i.e., soul with an individual body (i.e., not sharing a collective body) or soul in mundane existence with a termination)? Bound by the aparīta (i.e., soul sharing a collective body or soul in mundane existence without termination)? Bound by the no-parīta, no-aparita (i.e. soul which is neither parīta nor aparīta i.e., soul which is neither with an individual body nor with a collective body or neither in mundane existence with termination nor in mundane existence without termination)? Gautama! the parīta, in some respects binds, in some respects does not bind, the aparīta binds, the soul which is neither parīta, nor aparīta does not bind. In the same way, excluding the life-span-determining karma, all the remaining seven types of karma are to be described. Both parīta as well as aparīta in some respect binds the life-span-determining karma and, in some respect,
do not bind. The soul which is neither parīta nor aparīta does not bind. 6.45 nānāvaranijjam nam bhamte! kaminam kim ābhiņibohiyanāni bamdhai?
