The fruit-bearing power of karma gives intense or mild results according to the nature of the karma itself, and it only serves to cover knowledge. However, it does not give results according to the nature of other karmas like Darshanadaran, Vedaniya, etc. Similarly, one should understand the fruit-bearing power of other karmas.
The rule of giving results according to the nature of karma applies only to the **Mulaprakritis** (original natures), not to the **Uttarprakritis** (derived natures). Because, by the force of **Adhyavasaya** (determination), any karma can be transformed into another **Uttarprakriti** of the same karma. As a result, the previous fruit-bearing power gives intense or mild results according to the nature of the transformed **Uttarprakriti**. For example, when **Matijnanavarana** (covering of knowledge of the mind) is transformed into **Shrutajnanavarana** (covering of knowledge of scriptures) or other similar **Uttarprakritis**, the fruit-bearing power of **Matijnanavarana** acts according to the nature of **Shrutajnanavarana**, covering **Shrutajnana** (scriptural knowledge), **Avadhijnana** (clairvoyance), etc.
However, this rule does not apply to all **Uttarprakritis**. There are many **Uttarprakritis** that do not interconvert even if they are of the same type, such as **Darshanamoha** (delusion of perception) and **Charitramoha** (delusion of conduct). **Darshanamoha** does not transform into **Charitramoha**, and vice versa. Similarly, the four **Ayus** (life spans) of **Ayukarma** (karma of lifespan) do not interconvert into other **Ayus**.
Generally, there are 122 **Udayayogya Prakritis** (natures capable of arising) and 120 **Bandhayogya Prakritis** (natures capable of binding). Thus, there is a difference of two between **Udayayogya** and **Bandhayogya** **Prakritis**, which should not be. Because, as many **Prakritis** are bound, that many **Prakritis** should be considered **Udayayogya**. In that situation, it would be considered that one experiences the fruits of karma without **Karmabandha** (binding of karma), which is against the principle. The explanation for this is as follows:
