Bhagavai 6:3:48-51
goyama! atthasu vi bhayande.
Is the knowledge-covering karma, O Lord! bound by a soul, with determinate knowledge? Bound by a soul, with indeterminate knowledge? Gautama! they in some respects bind all the eight types of karma, in some respects do not bind.
6.49 näṇāvaraṇijjam nam bhamte! kammam kim ähärue bamdhai? aṇāhārae bamdhai?
goyama! do vi bhayaṇãe.
~:377
evam vedanijjāugavajjāṇam chaṇham. vedaṇijjam ähärae bamdhai, aṇähärae bhayaṇãe, aue aharae bhayaṇde, aṇāhārae na bamdhai.
Is the knowledge-covering karma, O Lord! bound by a soul that is consuming nourishment? Bound by a soul that is not consuming nourishment? Gautama! Both of them in some respects bind, in some respects do not bind. In the same way, excluding the sensation-producing and life-spandetermining karmas, the remaining six types of karma are to be described. As regards the sensation-producing karma, the soul that is consuming nourishment binds it; the souls that are not consuming nourishment in some respects bind, in some respects do not bind. As regards the life-spandetermining karma, the soul that is consuming nourishment in some respects binds it, in some respects does not bind; the soul that is not consuming nourishment does not bind.
6.50 näṇāvaraṇijjam nam bhamte! kammam kim suhume bamdhai? bädare bamdhai? nosuhume nobädare bamdhai?
goyama! suhume bamdhai, bädare bhayande. no suhume nobädare na bamdhai. evam dugavajjão satta vi. äugam suhume bädare bhayanãe. nosuhume nobädare na bamdhai.
Is the knowledge-covering karma, O lord! bound by a subtle (invisible) soul? Bound by a gross (visible) soul? Bound by a soul that is neither subtle nor gross?
Gautama! the subtle soul binds; the gross souls in some respects bind, in some respects do not bind; the soul that is neither subtle nor gross does not
bind.
6.51 näṇāvaraṇijjam nam bhamte! kammam kim carime bamdhai? acarime bamdhai?
goyama! attha vi bhayaṇãe.
Is the knowledge-covering karma, O Lord! bound by a soul that will have the last mundane existence? Bound by soul that will not have the last mundane existence?
Gautama! both of them, in some respects bind all the eight types of karma, in some respects do not bind.
