Gommatasara Karmakanda-148.
This being, due to yoga and mithyatva, acquires time-bound, measurable atoms, which are capable of becoming karma, and thus becomes karma. At times, it acquires only the previously acquired sadi-dravya atoms, and at times, it acquires the anadi-dravya atoms that have not been acquired yet, and sometimes it acquires both types of atoms. Now, the measure of the time-bound is said to be:
_Sayalarasaruvgandhehin parinadam charamachaduhin phasehin._
_Siddado'bhavvado'nantimabhagam gunam davvam. ||191||_
Meaning: That time-bound, consisting of five types of rasa, five types of varna, two types of gandha, and the last four of the eight types of sparsa, along with the qualities of rupa, sheeta, ushna, and snigdha (excluding the four sparsa of guru, laghu, mrdu, and kathina), is known as karma-rupa pudgala-dravya, which is an infinite part of the siddha-rasi and an infinite multiple of the abhavya-rasi. In other words, it acquires a group of atoms of this size and becomes karma every moment.
Now, the time-bound acquired at one time is manifested in eight fundamental natures, and the order in which each nature is distributed is as follows:
_Aaugabhago thobo namagode samo tado ahyo._
_Ghaaditiyevi ya tatto mohe tatto tado tadiye. ||192||_
Meaning: In all the fundamental natures, the portion of ayu-karma is small, the portion of nama and gotra-karma is equal, but greater than the portion of ayu-karma. The portion of the three ghatiya karmas - antaraya, jnana-avaran, and darshan-avaran - is equal, but greater than nama and gotra-karma. The portion of mohaniya-karma is greater than that, and the portion of vedaniya-karma is greater than mohaniya-karma.
Special Note: In the mithyatva guna-sthana, there is bondage of all four ayus. In the sasadan guna-sthana, there is bondage of three ayus, excluding naraka. In the asanyata guna-sthana, there is bondage of two ayus, excluding naraka and tiryanch. In the desha-sanyata, pramatta, and aprammatta guna-sthana, there is bondage of only one deva-ayu. There is no further bondage of ayu. Beyond this, until anivritti-karan, there is bondage of only seven karmas, excluding ayu. Above this, in the sukshma-lampara, there is bondage of six karmas, excluding ayu and mohaniya-karma. Further, in the three guna-sthana, there is bondage of only one vedaniya-karma.
1. There are four sparsa: one each from snigdha and ruksha, one each from sheeta and ushna, one each from karkas and mrdu, and one each from guru and laghu. (Dhaval Pu. 14 p. 558. and 559 Sutra 778. and 783 commentary)
