Gommatasar Karmakanda-692
Further, regarding the bondage of name karma, it is said:
"Manavayanakayavakko maillo garavehin padibandho.
Asuham bandhadi namam tappadivakkehin suhanam." || 808 ||
Meaning: A being who is crooked in mind, speech, and body, deceitful, and possessed of the three types of pride (arrogance) binds the karma of an unfavorable (unfortunate) name, leading to hell, animal birth, etc. Conversely, a being who is of the opposite nature, i.e., simple in conduct, truthful, and not seeking praise, binds the karma of a favorable (fortunate) name.
Detailed Meaning: "Manavayanakayavakko" refers to crookedness in mind, speech, and body, i.e., acting contrary to the right path. "Maillo" means deceitful, engaging in falsehood, spreading rumors, and using false weights and measures (like scales, meters, etc.) for personal gain. "Garavehin" refers to being attached to wealth (riddhigar), delicious food (rasagar), and comfortable places (sadagar). Being firmly attached to these leads to the bondage of unfavorable name karma. Conversely, "tappadivakkehin" refers to being free from these attachments, having simplicity in conduct, being free from pride, respecting religious individuals, being humble towards the causes of worldly existence, and having faith in non-negligence, etc., which leads to the bondage of favorable name karma.
Further, regarding the bondage of gotra karma, it is said:
"Arahantadisu bhatto suttarud 'padhanumanaguṇapehi. Bandhadi uccaṁ godam vivarido bandhade idaram." || 809 ||
Meaning: A being who is devoted to the five supreme beings (Arhat, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyaya, Sadhu), is thoughtful in study, and possesses qualities like humility, binds the karma of a high gotra. Conversely, a being who is of the opposite nature binds the karma of a low gotra.
Detailed Meaning: Extreme devotion to the five gurus (Arhat, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyaya, Sadhu), as well as the scriptures spoken by the Jinas, leads to the bondage of a high gotra.
