Verse 32
mixing of several juices of barley, flowers and fruits in a vessel produces intoxicating liquor, so also matter present coextensive with the self becomes transformed into karmic matter owing to the presence of activities and passions. The word 'sa' is intended to exclude any other kind of bondage. This is the only kind of bondage, and there is no other bondage. By this the union between the substance and its qualities is refuted.

Ācārya Kundkund's Pañcāstikāya-Sāra
जं सुहमसुहमुदिण्णं भावं रत्तो करेदि जदि अप्पा । सो तेण हवदि बद्धो पोग्गलकम्मेण विविहेण ॥
(147)
When Ātman out of desire, aversion and corruption of knowledge and will, experiences affective states pleasant and unpleasant, then because of the very same states the self gets bound by Karmic matter of various kinds.
Commentary - Bandha is of two kinds: Bhāva Bandha and Dravya Bandha. The former refers to the appropriate psychological conditions that bring about the actual bondage with Karmic molecules. The latter is Dravya Bandha. On account of desire the Atman experiences happiness or misery. Such emotional states create in the Ātman a disposition peculiarly favourable for the Karmic molecules to settle in. This psychological disposition is the intrinsic condition of bondage.
