Gommatasara Karmakanda-691
Mixing falsehoods in religious teachings, leading a life devoid of virtue, excessive attachment to research, and experiencing blue and pigeon-colored lesions and anxious thoughts at the time of death, etc., are specific causes of bondage in the Tiryanchayu. ....
.... The causes of bondage in the Manushayau are stated as follows:
"Payadiya tanukasaao danaradi silasanjamavihinoo.
Majjhimagunaihin jutto manuvaum bandhade jivo ||806||"
Meaning - A being who is inherently meek, i.e., gentle in nature, delights in giving gifts, is devoid of virtue and restraint, i.e., restraint of senses and non-violence towards living beings, and is endowed with moderate qualities (results), such a being binds the Manushayau with intense experience.
Specific explanation - Being humble in nature, being of noble character, being simple in behavior, being of mild temperament, and not experiencing confusion at the time of death, etc., are specific causes of intense experience-bondage in the Manushayau.
Further, the causes of bondage in the Devayau are stated as follows:
"Anuvadamhavaadehi ya balatavakamanijjaraaye ya!
Devaaugam nibandhadi sammaditthi ya jo jivo. ||807||"
Meaning - A being who has right faith binds the Devayau only through right conduct and directly through the great vows, and a being who has wrong faith binds the Devayau through ignorance-based childish austerities and through the lack of desire-based exhaustion.
Specific explanation - Lack of desire-based exhaustion, childish austerities, mild passions, listening to appropriate dharma, giving gifts, serving gods, gurus, dharma, and their followers, passionate restraint, right conduct, and restraint of the country, all these are causes of bondage in the Devayau.
