## Gommatasara Karmakanda - 425
**The Ten Karmas**
Nemichandracharya, desiring to explain the ten karmas in fourteen verses, first salutes his Shrutaguru:
**HAJA**
"I, the disciple of Virendranandi Acharya, who have crossed the endless ocean of samsara by the grace of my Shrutaguru, bow to Abhayanandi Acharya." (436)
Now, the names of the ten karmas are given:
"Bandha, Uttarshana, Sankrama, Apakarshana, Udirana, Sattwa, Udaya, Upashama, Nikachita - these are the ten karmas, the nature of karma." (437)
The nature of these ten karmas is explained in three verses:
"The connection of karmas is Bandha, Uttarshana is its increase. Sankrama is the attainment of its purpose, Apakarshana is its decrease." (438)
"Udirana is the increase of its purpose, Sattwa is its full maturity, Udaya is its manifestation." (439)
"Nikachita is the karma that is dormant and not manifested." (440)
**Note:** The text mentions that the four karmas - Udaya, Sankrama, Udirana, and Nikachita - are not manifested in the same order. The karma that is dormant and not manifested is Nikachita.
