The Sutra of the Sri Sutra Kritanga. When things become attached to each other, they become intertwined, they merge into each other, this is called bondage. There are eight types of karma, such as Jnanavaraniya. Or, it should be known that the causes of these are Mithyatva, Aviriti, etc., or Parigraha, Himsa, etc. Just by attaining Kevala Jnana, the desired or desired purpose is not achieved, therefore, it shows the direction of action. Knowing the bondage, one should break the bondage by specific actions in accordance with restrained conduct, one should separate the soul from the group of bound karma, Samavaya karma. When this was said, Jambuswami and other disciples, with a special curiosity about the nature of bondage, etc., asked - What did Tirthankara Mahavira call bondage, or what does a man know to break bondage, or by what does bondage break - this is the meaning of this verse.
**Verse 2**
**Chittamantamachittam va, parigriha kisamavi.**
**Annam va anujanaai, evam dukkha na mucchai.**
**Translation:**
A person who is Chittavant - conscious - accepts bipeds, quadrupeds, etc., or Achittavant - unconscious - accepts gold, silver, etc., valuable things, or even very ordinary things like straw, grass, and pus, as Parigraha, keeps them, and allows others to do the same - to accept them as Parigraha, does not become free from suffering, does not get rid of it.
**Commentary:**
To explain the nature of the question of bondage, it is said - Here, bondage is referred to as karma-related or karma-induced, there, the cause is not shown without the cause of the birth of the cause, so the cause is shown. There, too, all beginnings are mostly karma-based, arising from the attachment to the self, so Parigraha is shown first. Chitta is the use, knowledge, that which has it is Chittavant - bipeds, quadrupeds, etc., other than that is Achittavant - gold, silver, etc., accepting both of these as Parigraha, even accepting the small, even straw, dust, etc., is the meaning. Or, if it is the act of taking, the act of taking, the result of the movement of the living being with the understanding of Parigraha, then, in this way, by accepting Parigraha for oneself, by accepting others, or by allowing others, one suffers from suffering - eight types of karma, their fruits, or the form of Asatodaya, etc., therefore, one does not get rid of it. Parigraha itself is the root of all evil in reality. And so it is said:
"As long as there is the fever of ego, the fire of pride,
It is the mouth of death, there is no peace, no upliftment.
Those who desire fame and happiness, by these means,
They are rejected by others, somehow, from somewhere."
And so, "Hatred is the abode of attachment, the decay of patience,
The opposite of patience is the rule,
The dwelling place of disturbance, the friend of pride,
The enemy of meditation is difficult.
The origin of suffering, the death of happiness, the abode of sin is oneself,
Even for the wise, Parigraha is like a snare, for suffering and destruction."
And so, in the case of Parigraha, there is anxiety and sorrow when it is not obtained, and when it is obtained, there is protection, enjoyment, and dissatisfaction, so in the presence of Parigraha, one does not get rid of the bondage of suffering.
