## Gommatasara Karmakanda - 100
- Therefore, the binding of Ayukarma occurs in the first, second, third, etc., up to the eighth tripartite of one's lifespan. If the binding of Ayukarma does not occur even in the eighth tripartite, then it occurs at the end of the remaining lifespan, hence it is Sadibandha and binds only until the end of the Muhurta. The reason for this is Adhruva.
**Note:** Death occurs one Muhurta after the binding of Ayukarma in general, because even the minor obstacle is a Muhurta.
**Special Note:** According to verses 158 and 917, the minor obstacle of Ayukarma is the time measure of Asankshepaddha. This time is measured as a fraction of the Aavali, therefore death can occur after this much time from the binding of Ayukarma. Now, the characteristics of these bindings are described:
**Sadibandhe seḍhi aṇāruḍhage aṇādi hu. Abhav सिद्धम्हि धुवो bhav सिद्धे aduvo bandho. || 123 ||**
**Meaning:** The karma which is bound again after its absence is called Sadibandha. The one which is not ascended on the ladder, i.e., whose binding has not been absent, is Anadibandha. The binding which will never be absent is Dhruvabandh, it is for Abhavya. The binding which has an end is Adhruvabandh, this binding is for Bhavya.
**Special Note:** The binding of the five types of Jnanavarana occurs for the jivas until the Sukshmasamprayagunasthan. Later, when the same jiva attains the Upshantakashayagunasthan, the binding of his Jnanavarana becomes absent. The same jiva, while descending, comes back to the Sukshmasampray, at that time the binding of his Jnanavarana which occurs is Sadibandha. As long as the jiva does not attain the ladder, know it as Anadibandha. For example, the cessation of the binding of Jnanavarana occurs at the end of the Sukshmasampray. After that, the jiva reaches the Upshantakashayagunasthan. Before that, until the end of the Sukshmasampray, there is Anadibandha of Jnanavarana.
Abhavya jivas have Dhruvabandh, because the binding of the Nishpratipaksha-Niranterabandhi karma types is found to be Anadi-Anant for Abhavya jivas. Bhavya jivas have Adhruvabandh, because the end of their binding is found. For example, the cessation of the binding of Jnanavarana Panchak (Mati-Shrutadi) occurs in the tenth Gunasthan. In this way, the characteristics of Sadi-Anadi-Dhruva-Adhruva are described.
