- 461 :jäti? ...... up to 72 anubhāga-nāma-gotra-niyuktāyuşkāḥ--which have the totally impervious life-span-determining karma which has begun to be experienced with the body-making karma quâ intensity (of fruition) and the status-determinig karma quâ intensity (of fruition)? Gautama! there are souls which are (from (1) up to) (12) jāti-nāma-gotraniyuktāyuşkāḥ—which have the totally imperviously life-span-determining karma which has begun to be experienced with the body-making karma quâ jāti and the status-determinig karma quâ jāti? ....... up to (72) anubhāga-nāmagotra-niyuktāyuşkāḥ—which have the totally impervious life-spandetermining karma which has begun to be experienced with the body-making karma quâ intensity (of fruition) and the status-determinig karma quâ intensity (of fruition). In all the (24) soul-groups from infernals ...... up to the Empyrean gods, all (the 72) paradigms are available to all the souls.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 152-154
There are eight karmika karaṇas (operations) viz., (1) bondage (bandha) (2) transference (samkramana) (3) augmentation (udvartanā) (4) diminution (apavartanā) (5) premature realization (udīranā) (6) subsidence (suppression) (upaśamanā) (7) almost imperviousness (niddhatti) (8) total imperviousness (nikācanā).
The seventh operation here is--almost imperviousness. It meansimperviousness to all operations other than augmentation and diminution in duration and intensity of karmic clusters.
The souls which are subject to the operation of niddhati (almost imperviousness) or nişecana (peculiarly fused) with the karmika sub-types of body-making karma viz., jāti (sense-based species), gati (realm) etc. are called the "jāti-nāma-niddhata' (i.e., binders of almost imperviously bound body-making karma quâ jāti (sense-based sepcies), 'gati-nāma-niddhata' (i.e., binders of almost imperviously bound body-making karma quâ gati (realm) etc..
'Niyukta-Abhayadevasūri has identified niyukta with nikācita'. This is the state of most firmly bound (i.e., totally impervious) karma. Jāti, gati, avagāhanā [here, which stands for the type of body-audārika (gross) or vaikriya (protean)], nāma (body), gotra (status) and āyuşya (life-span) including sthiti (duration), pradeśa (quantum) and anubhāga (intensity of fruition) of these karma--these are the principal facets of birth-and-death. So, on the basis of them, 72 combinations to describe the soul as almost impervious or totally impervious binder of karma can be formed.
