species of karmas get transformed into atoms of other types of species of karmas. And many species (of karmas) which were bonded for longer duration with intense fruition become scant by getting decreased and many other species (of karmas) bonded for lesser duration with the potency of feeble fruition become more by getting increased. Thus, even the condition of atoms bonded in the past change due to Nimitta of Jiva Bhavas and if Nimitta is absent then there is no change but they remain as they were. . In this way, the bonded karmas remain in existence. The Ripening (Operative State) of Bonded
Karmas And when the time of rise (ripening) of species of karmas natures then automatically according to the fruition of those species of karmas the effect gets produced; the karmas do not produce those effects. At the time of their ripening state, the specific effect (disposition)gets evolved; only so much is to be known the cause and effect relationship (Nimitta-Naimittika Samband). And simultaneously with their fructification the karmic form ends due to the end of fruition-power of those karmas; these (dissociated) matter-particles get changed into other forms; this is called Savipaka-Nirjara (Shedding-off of karmas on their ripening in usual course of time).
In this way, the karmas shed off every moment on rise (ripening) of the same.
After the end of karmic power, these matter-particles, irrespective of being present in the same species of molecules or getting separated from them, become ineffective. It should be known that at each moment infinite atoms (karmic matter-particles) get bonded with soul; the atoms so bonded in one moment (in one unit of time), leaving the period of Aabadha-kal (prior to ripening), continue coming serially into operative state (Udaya) in all the moments of their duration period. And the atoms so bonded in several moments which are capable of ripening together, come into Udaya state collectively. The collective fruition of all those atoms (species of karmas) gets produced at one time accordingly to their combined fruition-power. And the atoms so bonded in several moments holding the identity as karma, remain in intermingled relationship with Jiva (soul) from
