The karma that causes the differentiation of limbs is called Angopang Karma. It has three divisions - Audarik, Vaikriya and Aharak Angopang.
The karma that causes the specific binding of bones is called Sanhanan Karma. It has six divisions - Vajrarṣabhanārāc, Vajranārāc, Nārāc, Ardhanārāc, Kilita and Asamprapta Sṛpāṭikā Sanhanan.
Sanhanan is the name for the group of bones. The one that is bound is called Rṣabha and the one that is impenetrable like a vajra, i.e., which cannot be pierced, is called Vajra. Nārāc is the name for the nail. For example, there is an iron nail between the hinges of a door. Therefore, the body in which there are vajra bones, vajra rṣabha, vajra nārāc is called Vajrarṣabhanārāc Śarīra Sanhanan. In which there are no vajra bonds, it is bound by ordinary bonds, but the nail and bones are vajra; the body that arises from this is called Vajranārāc Śarīra Sanhanan. The karma that causes the union of bones nailed with ordinary nārāc without vajra is called Nārāc Śarīra Sanhanan. The karma that causes the union of bones to be half-nailed is called Ardhanārāc Śarīra Sanhanan. The karma that causes the bones to be not vajra, but they are caught together by means of a point and a hole is called Kilita Sanhanan. The karma that causes the bones to be bound together by nerves like the bones of a reptile is called Asamprapta Sṛpāṭikā Sanhanan Karma.
The karma that causes the color of the body is called Varṇa Karma. It has five divisions - Kṛṣṇa, Nīla, Rakta, Harita and Śukla.
The karma that causes the smell in the body is called Gandha Karma. It has two divisions - Sugandha and Durgandha.
The karma that causes the taste in the body is called Rasa Karma. It has five divisions - Tikta, Katu, Kaṣāya, Amla and Madhura.
The karma that causes the touch in the body is called Sparśa Karma. It has eight divisions - Karkasa, Mṛdu, Guru, Laghu, Śīta, Uṣṇa, Snigdha and Rukṣa. The karma that causes the body to retain the shape of the previous body in the movement of the body,
it gets the oneness of form is called Śarīra Sanghāta Karma. In essence, the body atoms come together due to the rise of Bandha Karma, but they remain with holes like the husk of sesame seeds. Due to the rise of Sanghāta, those same atoms become smooth like the husk of flour (or like the atoms inside a couch) everywhere one with each other (= without holes).
(Mūlācāra, p. 362-63, Part 2, Jñānapiṭha, Anuv. Pū. Jñānamati Ji) _ The branches are bound to the trunk of the tree, the arms are bound to the trunk, the fingers are bound to the arms. This is Bandha Karma. The absence of unnecessary holes in the body, except for the necessary holes, is the work of Sanghāta. (Ślo.vā, 7/63 Bhāṣā)
