7106 jīvā nam bhamte! kim ābhoganivvattiyāuyā? anābhoganivvatiyāuyā?
goyamā! no ābhoganivvatiyāuyā, anäbhoganivvattiyāuyā. evam neraiyā vi, evam jāva vemāniyā. Do' the souls, O Lord! bind the life-span-determining karma consciously or unconsciously? Gautama! they do not bind the life-span-determining karma consciously, they bind it unconsciously. Similarly the infernals also ...... up to the Empyrean gods.
Bhāşya 1. Sutra 106
The rules of binding life-span-determining karma have been indicated in the preceding satakas. For instance:
(1) For transit to next life, the soul has already bound the life-span karma.
(2) The binding of life-span-determining karma takes place in the preceding life.?
(3) The soul binds the life-span of the birth to which he has to go.? (4) The soul experiences the life-span of a single life at a tirne.
(5) Along with the binding of the life-span-determining karma, the six aspects, namely, species (jāti) etc. are determined.
In the present Sūtra, it has been laid down that the soul binds the life-span-determining karma unconsciously. The soul, with which the life-span-determining karma is being bound, or, has been bound, or, will be bound, does not know when it (i.e., the bondage) takes place, or, had taken place, or, will take place respectively.
