## Karmavipaka
Until the end of the karmavipaka, all four causes will be present, and in the case of aviriti, the three causes of pramada, etc., will also be present. Similarly, one should understand the causes of pramada, vayu, and yoga in a sequential manner. However, when the future bandhahetu is present, the previous bandhahetu may or may not be present. For example, in the first gunasthan, mithyatva is present along with aviriti, but in the second, third, and fourth gunasthan, mithyatva is not present even when aviriti is present. Similarly, one should understand this for other bandhahetus.
There are three traditions regarding the number of bandhahetus for karmabandha: (1) Kshaya and Yoga, (2) Mithyatva, Aviriti, Kshaya, and Yoga, (3) Mithyatva, Aviriti, Pramada, Kshaya, and Yoga. However, despite the difference in number and names, there is no difference in these traditions from a tattvic perspective. Pramada is a type of asanayam, so it is included in aviriti or kshaya. From this perspective, in texts like Karma-prakriti, only mithyatva, aviriti, kshaya, and yoga are mentioned as the four bandhahetus. If we consider these in more detail, mithyatva and aviriti are not separate from the nature of kshaya. Therefore, kshaya and yoga are considered the main causes of bandha. However, to explain it in detail to inquisitive people, all five, including mithyatva, are mentioned as causes of bandha. Those who are ordinary and intelligent can understand through four or five causes, while those who are particularly knowledgeable can understand through the tradition of two causes.
Thus, after explaining karma and the causes of karmabandha, the next verse explains the types of karmabandha, the root and the number of different types of karma.
