Gommatasar Karmakanda-35: There are 27 types of name-karma, namely: Yasaskirti-Ayaskirti, Bas-Sthavar, Prashast-Aprashast Vihayogati, Subhag-Dur Bhag, Charagati, Panchjati. These 27 types are also called:
Gadi Jaadi Ussasan Vihayagati Tasatiyan Jugalam Cha.
Subhagadichaujuugalam Tiththayaram Chedi Sagavinsam. ||51||
Meaning: Charagati, Panchjati, Ucchvas, Vihayogati, Sa-Badar-Paryapt-Subhag-Suswar-Adey and Yasaskirti's pair, and Tirthankar, these are the 27 types of name-karma that are Jeevvipaki. Further, in the next 34 verses, the four types of Nikshepa are explained, targeting the students of medium interest.
Naam Thavana Daviyan Bhavoti Chauvvihan Have Kamma.
Payadi Pavam Kamma Malanti Sanna Hu Naamamalam. ||52||
Meaning: General Karma is of four types based on name-establishment, substance, and state. Prakriti-Papkarma and Mala are called Naamamala. These should be known as name-nikshepa karma.
Special Meaning: Nikshepa is the act of placing something in a particular category or decision, i.e., deciding an undecided thing by its name, etc. The complete reason for name-nikshepa is the speaker's intention. For example, a father can name his son whatever he wants, just like the speaker, without considering the qualities, names things according to his own will for the sake of public recognition. The substance, qualities, actions, and associated substances, and the substance that is part of the whole, are considered other causes. (Shlo. Va. Part 2, Page 171, Verse 2) Without considering other causes, the name arises solely from the speaker's intention. (Shlo. Va, 2/170) Therefore, the naming done solely based on the speaker's intention is considered name-nikshepa by the Acharyas. Name-nikshepa is not associated with body, caste, qualities, actions, substance, definition, etc. That is, without considering caste, etc., any object can be given any name solely based on the speaker's intention, and that is name-nikshepa. For example, the word "horse" is used for specific animals based on caste. But using the word "horse" for a human, a part of a gun, or a piece of coal is name-nikshepa. Similarly, the word "crow" is used for a specific bird based on caste, but using the word "crow" for a part of the throat or a stopper in a bottle is name-nikshepa. The cause of the word is different from the intended meaning, and caste, qualities, etc., are other causes. Without considering these other causes, but based on the intended meaning, the naming done by the speakers is name-nikshepa. Therefore, naming based on the inherent qualities from the beginning of time, considering caste, substance, etc., is not name-nikshepa. That is, name-nikshepa does not require inherent qualities from the beginning of time, nor does it require caste, etc. (Shlo. Va, Part 2, Page 262)
