The Topic of Bondage of Types of Karma
How many types of karma does a soul, O Lord! bind, while binding the knowledge-covering karma?
Gautama! it binds seven types or eight types or six types. The section on bondage of karma from the Pannavana (pada 24) is to be understood here.
Bhasya
1. Sūtra 162
There are eight principal types of karma, which are bound simultaneously or independently, according to circumstances, which have been explained in the 24th pada of the Pannavaṇā. In the present Satra, it has been mentioned very briefly. The life-span-determining karma is bound only once in the whole life. At other times, the soul binding the knowledge-covering karma binds the rest of seven types of karma, which implies that at the moment of binding the life-span-determining karma the soul binds all the eight types of karma. At the 10th state of spiritual development, [when the soul is possessed of only subtle passion (in the form of greed)] there is no binding of life-span-determining karma and deluding karma," implying that there only six types of karma are bound.
It should be noted here that while binding the feeling-producing karma, the soul may bind 7, 8, 6 or only one, viz., the feeling-producing karma.2
