Gommatasara Karmakanda-690
The two types of conduct, namely, the conduct of the five vows (Panchanuvrata) which is like a journey through the country (Desacharitra) and the conduct of the great vows (Mahavrat) which is like a journey through the whole world (Sakalcharitra), bind the mohaniya karma (karma that obscures knowledge) with its intense section. Therefore, the above-mentioned reasons are a special indication of the binding of mohaniya karma. Then, regarding the binding of the hellish existence (Narakayu), it is said:
"Miccho hu maharambho nissilo tivvalohasanjutto. Nirayaugam nibandhadi pavamdi rudda parinami ||804||"
- A being who is very ambitious (Maharambhi) and has unlimited possessions (Aparimit Parigrahi), is devoid of good conduct (Nissilo), is intensely greedy (Tivvalobi), and delights in sinful actions like violence (Rudda Parinami), whose mind (Buddhi) is only on committing sins, binds the hellish existence with its three sections.
Special meaning - To engage in activities that cause suffering to living beings is ambition (Aarambha), and to have the thought "this is mine" is possession (Parigraha). One who has a lot of ambition and a lot of possessions is called a person with a lot of ambition and possessions, and his state of mind is called "Barambha Parigrahatva". Continuous engagement in actions like violence, stealing the wealth of others, excessive attachment to sense objects, and having black thoughts (Krishna Leshya) and anger (Roudradhyana) at the time of death are special indications of the binding of the hellish existence. Now, regarding the binding of the animal existence (Tiryancyayu), it is said:
"Ummagadesago magganasago guddhiyay madilla. Satasilo ya sasallo tiriyayum bandhade jivo ||805||"
Meaning - A being who preaches the wrong path (Ummagadesago), destroys the right path (Magganasago), is deceitful (Guddhiyay), has a perverse nature (Madilla), and is associated with the three poisons (Mithya, etc.), binds the animal existence with its intense section.
Special meaning - The deceit (Maya) that arises in the soul due to the rise of mohaniya karma is called "Nikriti". This is to be known as an indication of the binding of the animal existence. Its explanation is as follows:
