In the same way, at the time of auspicious yoga in the sixth and other gunasthanas, all the types of merit and sin have a bondage as far as possible. How can the auspicious yoga's merit-binding and the inauspicious yoga's sin-binding be separate and distinct due to their causes? Therefore, the presented regulations are primarily in relation to the experience-bound (anubandha). During the intensity of auspicious yoga, the amount of section (rasa) related to merit-nature is greater, while the amount of the section related to sin-nature is less. Conversely, during the intensity of inauspicious yoga, the amount of section-bound sin-nature is greater, and the section-bound merit-nature is lesser. The greater amount of merit-section caused by auspicious yoga and the greater amount of sin-section caused by inauspicious yoga are considered primary, and hence the scriptures state that auspicious yoga is the cause of merit and inauspicious yoga is the cause of sin. The lesser amounts of sin-section caused by auspicious yoga and the lesser amounts of merit-section caused by inauspicious yoga are not specified, because, like in the world, the principle of precedence in behavior is well-known in the scriptures. The bondage of the self with kashayas and without kashayas is, in sequence, the cause of the samparayika karma and the iryapatha karma.
Those who have the emergence of kashayas like anger and greed are with kashaya, and those who do not have them are without kashaya. From the first to the tenth gunasthana, all beings are to a greater or lesser degree with kashaya, while those at the eleventh and higher gunasthanas are without kashaya. The karma that causes the downfall of the self is called samparayika. Just as dust sticking to wet leather due to air is an example, so too is the karma that is attracted via yoga, which is associated with the self due to the emergence of kashayas, and thus it attains a state; this karma is samparayika. The karma that is attracted through yoga, like the wooden ball placed on a dry wall that immediately falls off due to the absence of kashaya's emergence, is known as iryapatha karma. The state of iryapatha karma is considered to last only for a brief moment.
The principle of "prominence dictates the classification" is exemplified by the fact that a village is called Brahmin if Brahmins have prominence or if they are in greater numbers, even if there are people of other varnas present.
