Bhagavai 6:3:35-51 Pervert's Knowledge (Ajñāna)
All the three types of ajñānī (knowledge of soul, with deluded world-view) viz., mati-ajñānī, śruta-ajñānī, and vibhanga-ajñānī, are soul with attachment. So, they bind the seven types of karmas except the life-span-determining karma, as explained in the case of 'Soul, with sexual disposition'. Yoga (Activity)
All the three types of souls, indulging in activity who are with attachment, bind the knowledge-covering karma, but those who are free from attachment do not bind knowledge-covering karma; therefore, they are subject to bhajanā. The souls who have ceased from activiy (i.e. ayogi) never bind any karma. Similar description about the binding of other seven karmas except the vedanīya karma should be made here. All the three types of souls, indulging in activity, bind the vedanīya karma, the ayogi never binds. The souls, with determinate and indeterminate knowledge
The souls, with determinate and indeterminate knowledge, indulging activity bind karma, but those who have ceased from activity do not. The souls that consume or do not consume nourishment
The souls that are free from attachment and the kevalīs, consuming nourishment, do not bind knowledge-covering karma. The souls, with attachment, consuming nourishment, do bind. At the third, fourth and fifth time-units during expansion of the soul-units by the kevali when he remains without consuming nourishment, he does not bind knowledge-covering karma. The soul in-transit, when not consuming nourishment, binds knowledge-covering karma. The kevali expanding his soul-units, and the soul in-transit, not consuming nourishment, bind sensation-producing karma, the kevals who have ceased from activity and the liberated soul do not bind sensation-producing karma. Subtle and gross living beings
The one-sensed beings are both subtle and gross; others are only gross. On account of the rise of the the body-making karma responsible for subtle (physical) body, the corporeal constitution of subtle living beings is extremely fine. Their body, though composite, is not perceptible to eyes. The gross beings free from attachment do not bind knowledge-covering karma, the gross beings with attachment do bind. The souls that are neither subtle nor gross are the liberated ones who do not bind. The souls, with and without the last birth
The soul that will have the last birth is called carama. The soul that will never have the last birth is acarama. The carama soul, indulging in activity, binds all the eight types of karma according to the occasion. The carama soul who has ceased from activity does not bind. So it is subject to bhajanā. The mundane acarama soul binds all the eight types of karma. The liberated soul has no reincarnation, and hence, from this point of view, he is also acarama; such acarama soul does not bind any karma (i.e., he is always abandhaka). So, acarama is also subject to bhajanā.
