In this way, duration and fruition bondage is governed by passions. Therefore, it should be known that passions are instrumental cause of duration bondage and fruition bondage.
As, even if wine is more in quantity and it has less intoxicating power for lesser period then that wine is of poor quality and even if wine is less in quantity and it has more intoxicating power for longer period then that wine is of strong quality; similarly, even if the atoms of species of Karmas are more in quantity and those have less fruition power for lesser period then those species of karmas are less effcetive; and even if the atoms of species of Karmas are less in quantity and those have more fruition power for longer period then those species of Karmas are more effective.

Transformation of Insentient Matter-particles (Atoms) into Appropriate Species of Karmas
Now, here someone raises a question that the matter-particles are inanimate and are devoid of knowledge; how do they then undergo transformation into appropriate species of karmas?
Answer: As on getting hungry, the mass of matter-particles of food swallowed through mouth gets transformed into bodily constituents like blood, flesh, semen, etc., and the atoms (particles) of that food (morsel) get appropriately distributed in the form of some bodily constituents in a lesser measure and in the form of some bodily constituents in greater measure. And in them, many atoms remain bonded for quite long duration and many for a short duration. Further, in those atoms many (atoms) possess greater power of producing their effect and many have less power. In this process none of the mass of matter-particles of food know that it should get
