**Subject:** The subject matter of this text is the Karma-Tattva, but it focuses only on the nature aspect, without considering many related matters. In other words, it primarily describes the results of all the natures of Karma. This is why it is named Karmavipak.
**Description:** The text begins by explaining that Karma-bandha is not natural but caused. To fully explain the nature of Karma, it is divided into four parts: (1) Nature, (2) State, (3) Rasa, and (4) Region. It then lists the eight fundamental natures and their sub-categories.
To illustrate the nature of Jnanabaranīyakarma, the author first describes knowledge. The five types of knowledge and their sub-categories are briefly but accurately explained. After describing knowledge, the text clarifies the Karma that covers it. Then, Darshanabaranīyakarma is explained with examples. The text then describes its categories and defines the word "Darshan." Among the categories of Darshanabaranīyakarma, the five types of sleep are described in a concise and engaging manner, based on universal experience.
Following this, the text describes the Vedaniya Karma that causes pleasure and pain, the Mohaniya Karma that hinders faith and good conduct, the Ayukarma that opposes eternal life, the Namakarma that generates various states like motion, the Gotrakarma that determines high and low birth, and the Antarayakarma that obstructs benefits. The text briefly but experientially describes the categories of each Karma. Finally, the text concludes by explaining the cause of each Karma.
Thus, the main subject of this text is the result of Karma. The content can be summarized into five parts:
(1) Description of the four parts of each Karma, including Nature, etc.
(2) The fundamental and sub-natures of Karma.
(3) Description of the five types of knowledge and four types of Darshan.
(4) Explanation of the function of all natures with examples.
(5) Explanation of the cause of all natures.
