Gommatsar Karmakanda-40
Meaning - The external cause, which is a substance different from the substance transformed by karma, is the non-karma, non-agamic substance-karma. There are two types of bhavana-nikshepa karma - agamic bhavana karma and non-agamic bhavana karma. The nature of agamic bhavana nikshepa karma is -
"The jiva who knows the agamic (scripture) that expounds the nature of karma and is engaged in the contemplation of that scripture in the present time, should be known as agamic bhavana karma."
Further, non-agamic bhavana nikshepa is called -
"The jiva who is experiencing the fruits of karma is non-agamic bhavana karma."
Thus, in terms of nikshepa, ordinary karma should be known by rule as four types.
Karma types in terms of nikshepa:
| Name | Establishment | Substance | Form | Non-form | Agamic Substance | Non-agamic Substance | Agamic Bhavana | Non-agamic Bhavana | Knower Body | Future | Other than that | Past | Present | Future |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Karma | Non-karma | Bhakt-pratijna | Ingini | Prayopgamana | N | Medium | Medium | Inferior | Excellent | Excellent | Time | Time |
