2. All the *dravya* (matter) should be given to the *purushaveda* (male karma). The *deshaghati* (destructive) *kṣaya* (passion) should be given to the *deshaghati* *dravya* (destructive matter) in the same proportion as the number of *prakriti* (nature) it is bound to, in descending order. In this way, the four *kṣaya* (passions) should be divided into four parts, starting from *mithyatva* (false belief) and ending with *krodha* (anger). In the third part, where *krodha* (anger) is not bound, it should be divided into three *prakriti* (natures). In the fourth part, where *mana* (pride) is also not bound, it should be divided into two *prakriti* (natures). In the fifth part, where *maya* (deceit) is also not bound, the *deshaghati* *dravya* (destructive matter) should be given to only one *lobha* (greed) *prakriti* (nature). In this way, the *dravya* (matter) should be known in descending order.
Now, it is said that how long does the binding of the *kṣaya* (passion) continue?
"**Puṁbandhaddhā antomuhuṭṭa iṭhiṁhi hassajugale ya.**
**Aradedurgasaṁkhagụṇā ṇapuṁsakaddhā visesahiyā.**" || 205 ||
**Meaning:** (In the *mithyatva* (false belief) *guṇasthāna* (state of the soul)) the time of continuous binding of the *purushaveda* (male karma) is *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*). The time of continuous binding of the *strīveda* (female karma) is *saṁkhyātaguṇā* (numerically multiplied) by that. The time of continuous binding of *hāsa* (laughter) and *rati* (attachment) is also *saṁkhyātaguṇā* (numerically multiplied) by that. The time of continuous binding of *arati* (aversion) and *śoka* (sorrow) is also *saṁkhyātaguṇā* (numerically multiplied) by that. The time of continuous binding of the *napuṁsakavedā* (neuter karma) is slightly more than that. (This total time is also *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*) separately).
**Special Meaning:** The time of continuous binding of the *purushaveda* (male karma) of a *mithyādrṣṭi* (false believer) (without the binding of any other karma in between) is *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*), which is *saṁkhyātaguṇā* (numerically multiplied) and *saṁkhyātaāvalī* (numerically multiplied series) in measure, and its *sahāmanī* (equivalent) is double *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*). The time of continuous binding of the *strīveda* (female karma) is *saṁkhyātaguṇā* (numerically multiplied) by that, and its *sahāmanī* (equivalent) is four times *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*). The time of continuous binding of *hāsa* (laughter) and *rati* (attachment) is also *saṁkhyātaguṇā* (numerically multiplied) by that, and its *sahāmanī* (equivalent) is sixteen times *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*). The time of continuous binding of *arati* (aversion) and *śoka* (sorrow) is also *saṁkhyātaguṇā* (numerically multiplied) by that, and its *sahāmanī* (equivalent) is thirty-two times *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*). The time of continuous binding of the *napuṁsakavedā* (neuter karma) is slightly more than that, and its *sahāmanī* (equivalent) is forty-two times *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*). In this way, when the time of all three *veda* (karma) is combined, its *sahāmanī* (equivalent) is forty-eight *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*). Similarly, when the time of *hāsa* (laughter), *śoka* (sorrow), *rati* (attachment), and *arati* (aversion) is combined, it is also forty-eight *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*). By considering this combined time as the *pramaṇarāśi* (measure), the *piṇḍarūpadravya* (material body) as the *phalarāśi* (result), and the respective time as the *icchārāśi* (desired measure), the measure of the respective *dravya* (matter) can be obtained by the *trairāśika* (rule of three).
Here, by dividing the combined time of the three *veda* (karma) in the *sattā* (existence) by its *sahāmanī* (equivalent) of forty-eight *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*), the measure obtained should be multiplied by the *sahāmanī* (equivalent) of two *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*) of the time of the *purushaveda* (male karma). This is the measure of the *dravya* (matter) related to the *purushaveda* (male karma). This *dravya* (matter) is the least. By multiplying the *sahāmanī* (equivalent) of four *antarmuhūrta* (half a *muhūrta*) of the time of the *strīveda* (female karma), the measure obtained is the *dravya* (matter) related to the *strīveda* (female karma). This *dravya* (matter) is *saṁkhyātaguṇā* (numerically multiplied) by the *dravya* (matter) related to the *purushaveda* (male karma). By multiplying the *sahāmanī* (equivalent) of forty-two *antarmuhūrta* (half a
