Verse 13
of these karmas in the higher stages. In the third stage of mixed belief there is no binding of age-determining karma. That is only peculiarity. The anger, pride, deceitfulness and greed (hindering complete self-discipline) bind one-sensed beings etc. up to the end of the fifth stage of ‘Partial Vows” (samyatāsamyata). The influx of these karmas is caused by the indiscipline arising from the passions which hinder complete self-discipline. Owing to its absence there is stoppage of these karmas in the higher stages. The influx of karmas caused by negligence is stopped in the absence of negligence. From the stage higher up the sixth stage of 'Imperfect Vows' (pramattasamyata) there is stoppage of karmas whose influx is caused by negligence as there is no negligence in those stages. What are these? These are the karmas causing the feeling of pain, disliking or dissatisfaction, sorrow, infirm frame (body without stamina), unsteadiness, ugly body, disrepute. The commencement of the binding of celestial age is caused generally by negligence and also by the absence of negligence in the next stage of 'Perfect Vows' (apramattasamyata). Owing to their absence there is stoppage of this karma in the higher stages. Those karmas, the influx of which is caused by the passions alone and not by negligence, etc. are stopped (ejected, opposed) in the absence of the passions. The passions bereft of negligence etc. are of three degrees, namely intense, moderate and minute. These three degrees of the passions remain in the next three stages (the 8th, 9th and 10th). In one/numerable part of the eighth stage of 'New Thought-Activity' (apūrvakaraņa), the two karmas of sleep and slumber bind. In the next one/numerable part thirty divisions of karmas bind. These are the celestial state of existence, birth as a being with five senses, transformable body, translocation (projectable) body, electric body, karmic body, symmetrical build, the chief and secondary parts of the translocation body, colour, odour, taste, touch, transmigrating force tending to celestial state,
