gradual decrease in the quantity of niseka. The process of niseka continues till the end of the duration of karma."
In the six varieties of life-span given above, 'species' and 'realm' are the subtypes of body-making karma. There is no mention of "avagāhanā" among the subtypes of body-making karma. Abhayadevasūri has explained avagāhanā as 'body'? (gross and protean bodies). Thus, avagāhanā-nāma karma has been recognised as śarīra-nāma-karma which is a sub-type of body-making karma. There is insertion of the expression ‘nāma' in all the six phrases-jāti-nāma-niddhatāyuska, etc.. Abhayadevasūri gives two meanings of nāma
(i) parināma—transformation of the soul and
(ii) năma-karma-body-making karma)
Although, sthiti (duration), pradeśa (quantum) and anubhāga are not mentioned anywhere as the sub-types of body-making karma, yet there is possibility of the sub-types of body-making karma other than those mentioned.
