Gommatasara Karmakanda-176
The owner of this [karma] is also the same being, but instead of 25 natures, 26 natures should be said. The being who binds the seven root natures with 29 natures of the name karma from all the perfections, and who is endowed with the excellent yoga, is the owner of the excellent region-binding of the Tirthankara nature. Now, in the root nature, ownership related to the binding of the inferior region is said:
**Suhumani-godap-ajjattayassa padhame jahann-aye j-oge.**
**Sattanh-am tu jahann-anam, a-ugabandhevi a-uss.** ||215||
**Meaning:** The subtle-ni-god-obtained-perfection-possessing being binds the seven root natures with the inferior up-pad-yoga in the first time of his existence, without lifespan. Later, when lifespan is bound, the inferior region-binding of the lifespan karma of the same being also takes place.
Then, in the later natures, ownership related to region-binding is said:
**Ghodan-j-ogo asann-i, niray-a-dusurran-araya-a-ug-jahann-am.**
**Apamatto a-haram, ayadam tittham cha dev-acau.** ||216||
**Meaning:** The being who is not a san-ji-jiva, who holds the ghotam-an-yoga, binds the inferior region of the hell-two, hell-lifespan, and deva-lifespan. And the being who is in the state of non-negligence, who is the possessor of the a-har-a-k-two, binds the inferior region of the a-har-a-k-two, because he binds more natures due to the a-purva-karana. The being who is in the state of non-restraint binds the inferior region of the Tirthankara nature and the deva-four (deva-state, deva-state-an-up-urvi, va-kri-ya-k-body, va-kri-ya-k-an-op-ang) - these five natures.
**Special Meaning:** Ghotam-an-yoga - those yoga-sth-anas which increase, decrease, or remain as they are, are called ghotam-an-yoga. The being who is not negligent, who is restrained, who binds eight types of karmas with 31 natures of the name karma, and who is endowed with the inferior ghotam-an-yoga, binds the inferior region of the a-har-a-k-two (a-har-a-k-body and a-har-a-k-body-an-op-aj). The being who is in the first time of existence, who is a tad-bhav-a-sth, who is not restrained, who is a sam-yag-drishti-man-ushya, who binds the seven root karmas with 29 natures of the name karma, and who is endowed with the inferior yoga, binds the inferior region of the deva-state, deva-state-an-up-urvi, va-kri-ya-k-body, va-kri-ya-k-body-an-op-aj. The being who is in the first time of existence, who is a tad-bhav-a-sth, who is a deva or a naraki, who binds seven types of karmas with 30 natures of the name karma, and who is endowed with the inferior up-pad-yoga, binds the inferior region of the Tirthankara nature.
