Pravacanasāra
The soul (jīva, ātmā) has innumerable space-points (pradeśa). The karmic molecules penetrate the space-points of the soul and make bonds when there is vibration in the space-points of the soul due to the activity of the mind, the speech and the body. These karmic molecules remain bound with the soul for certain duration and then separate on fruition.
Explanatory Note: First the psychic-bondage (bhāvabandha) or the jīvabandha takes place due to the impure-cognition (aśuddhopayoga) of the soul (jīva). As a result of the bhāvabandha, the dravyabandha takes place. Therefore, the cause of the dravyabandha is the bhāvabandha. Bondage is of four kinds: 1) according to the nature or species of karma - prakrtibandha; 2) according to the duration of karma - sthitibandha; 3) according to the fruition of karma - anubhavabandha; and 4) according to the quantity of space-points of karma - pradeśabandha. The threefold activity (yoga) causes prakrtibandha and pradeśabandha. The passions (kaşāya) in form of attachment etc. cause sthitibandha and anubhavabandha.
