**Introduction**
The power of karmas to bear fruit is called **Anubhag**. The intensity of the fruit-bearing power, which is either strong or weak, is determined by the **Anubhagbandh** that occurs with the karma-particles. The binding of the karma-particles to the soul in a fixed quantity is called **Pradeshabandh**. Out of these four types of bonds, **Prakritibandh** and **Pradeshabandh** are caused by **Yoga**, while **Sthitibandh** and **Anubhagbandh** are caused by **Kashaya**. In other words, the development of various natures within the karma-particles entering the soul and their binding in varying quantities depend on **Yoga**. The duration of these karma-particles staying with the soul, whether short or long, and the intensity of their fruit-bearing power, whether strong or weak, depend on **Kashaya**.
**Prakritibandh**
There are eight types of **Prakritibandh** among the four types of bonds mentioned above: 1) **Jnanavarana**, 2) **Darshanavarana**, 3) **Vedaniya**, 4) **Mohaniya**, 5) **Aayu**, 6) **Naam**, 7) **Gotra**, and 8) **Antaraya**.
**Jnanavarana** karma covers the knowledge faculty of the soul, preventing it from manifesting. Due to this karma, some are seen as having limited knowledge, while others are seen as having specific knowledge.
**Darshanavarana** karma covers the faculty of perception, i.e., the ability to see.
**Vedaniya** karma causes the soul to experience pleasure or pain.
The karma that generates attachment, aversion, and delusion in the soul is called **Mohaniya**. The emergence of this karma first prevents the soul from realizing the path of true happiness. Secondly, even if the soul becomes aware of the path of truth, it prevents it from walking on it.
The karma that keeps beings like humans, animals, and other creatures in their bodies for a fixed period is called **Aayukarma**. The emergence of **Aayukarma** is called birth, and its cessation is called death.
The karma that creates various good and bad bodies, their different limbs and appendages, etc., is called **Naamkarma**.
The karma that causes birth in a family or lineage with good or bad karmic impressions is called **Gotrakarma**.
The karma that creates obstacles in obtaining desired or desired objects is called **Antaraya**.
Out of these eight karmas, **Jnanavarana**, **Darshanavarana**, **Mohaniya**, and **Antaraya** are called **Ghatiya** karmas because they destroy the knowledge, perception, and other faculties of the soul. The remaining four are called **Aghatiya** karmas because they are unable to destroy the faculties of the soul.
**Ghatiya** karmas are further divided into two categories: **Deshghati** and **Sarvaghati**. The karma that destroys one faculty of the soul is called **Deshghati**, and the karma that destroys all the faculties of the soul is called **Sarvaghati**.
**Aghatiya** karmas are also divided into two categories: **Punyakarma** and **Papakarma**. All four **Ghatiya** karmas are of the nature of **Papakarma**. Among **Aghatiya** karmas, **Vedaniya**, **Shubha Aayu**, **Naamkarma** with good nature, and **Uchcha Gotra** are **Punyakarma**, while the rest are **Papakarma**.
Among the eight karmas mentioned above, **Mohaniya** karma is considered the leader of all karmas because it is the generator of attachment, aversion, and delusion. Therefore, the sages have first advised to eliminate it.
**Mohaniya** karma has two types: **Darshan Mohaniya** and **Charitra Mohaniya**. **Darshan Mohaniya** karma prevents the soul from seeing its true nature, keeping it deluded by the illusion of the world. Therefore, it is called "**Moh**" in the trinity of attachment, aversion, and delusion.
The second type, **Charitra Mohaniya** karma, causes the soul to develop attachment to something it considers good and aversion to something it considers bad. The four **Kashaya** known in the world, namely anger, pride, deceit, and greed, arise from the emergence of this karma. These four **Kashaya** are divided into attachment and aversion.
