Gommatasara Karmakanda-150 Now the order of division is stated -
In the multi-part, the equal parts are eight, and the remaining one part is one.
The essence is that in that multi-part, the multi-part is given to the many, and the remaining one part is given to the countless parts of the Avali in the order previously stated.
In that also, the one with much substance is given a multi-part, and in this way, the process of dividing the part into parts continues until the end.
Special meaning - At one time, the time-bound-measure atoms related to karma are taken, the measure of those atoms is the time-bound-substance related to karma.
In this, when the part of the countless part of the Avali is given, one part is kept separate from the measure that came, and the multi-part is divided into eight parts.
One equal part from those is established separately in eight places, that is, one equal part is given to each of the eight fundamental natures, and the one part that was kept separate is given the part of the countless part of the Avali.
And one part is kept separate and the multi-part is given to the Vedaniya karma, which is said to have much substance, and when this measure is added to the measure of one equal part from the previously mentioned eight parts, the number of atoms that become Vedaniya karma in the time-bound substance is that much.
And the one part that remained is given the part of the countless part of the Avali, and one part is kept separate from the obtained amount, and the remaining multi-part is divided into three equal parts, and one part is given to each of the Jnanavarana, Darshanavarana, and Antaraya karma.
And when this one part is added to each part of the eight equal parts that were made, the number of atoms that become Jnanavarana, Darshanavarana, and Antaraya in order is that much.
The substance of these three karmas is to be known as equal to each other, and the one part that was kept separate is given the part of the countless part of the Avali, and from the obtained amount, one part is kept separate, and the remaining multi-part is divided into two equal parts, and one part is given to the Nama karma and one to the Gotra karma.
And when this one part is added to each part of the previously mentioned eight parts, the number of atoms that become Nama and Gotra karma in order is that much.
The substance of both these karmas is to be known as equal to each other, and the one part that remained is given to the Ayu karma, and when this one part is added to the one part measure substance from those eight parts, the number of atoms that become Ayu karma is that much.
In this way, the statement "Aaug Bhago Thovo" etc. that was said in the verse is proven.
In this way, at one time, the time-bound-measure Pudgala substance transforms into eight karmas.
