transformed in this particlular way. Moreover, there is no one to motivate them in this transformation; such type of NimittaNaimittika (cause and effect) relationship is existing and owing to which such transformation takes place.
Similarly, on the rise of passions the mass of matter in Karmavarganas (karmic matter) so absorbed through the channel of Yoga gets transformed into Jnanavarana, etc., type of Karmas (species) and the atoms of those Karma-varganas (Karmic-matter) get appropriately distributed into some types of Karmas (species) having less atoms and into some types of Karmas(species) having more atoms. And in them many atoms (of some species) remain in bonded state for a longer period and many for a shorter period. And in those atoms some (atoms) possess greater potency of producing their effect and some (atoms) possess lesser potency.

Similarly, owing to Nimitta of JivaBhavas (dispositions of the soul) the pudgalas, i.e., the matterparticles (atoms) attain the potency of Jnanavarana, etc., types of Karmas. Here if Karmas produce the effect after deligeration effortfully then it ought to possess knowledge, but on meeting with an appropriate Nimitta the corresponding transformation takes place automatically, and so there is no need of knowledge. Such is the set process of new bondage.
State of Existence of Bonded Karmas Now, the atoms which have transformed into karmas form remain in bonded form intermingled with space-points of Jiva till they do not acquire the operative state. There, owing to Nimitta of dispositions of soul (Jiva-Bhavas) the condition of many species of karmas also gets changed. The atoms of many different types of
