## Explanation of Karma Bandha, Uday and Satva
**Bandha**
The acceptance of new karmas is called bandha. Although the jiva is inherently formless, it is embodied in the world and thus somewhat form-bound. In this state, it has been accepting form-bound karma pudgalas since time immemorial due to kshaya and yoga. There are many types of pudgal varganas, and the jiva accepts those that have the potential to transform into karma. It then connects them to its own atma-pradeshas through a specific relationship of conjunction.
Among these, the karma bandha that occurs due to the arising of kshaya is called **samparayik bandha**, and the rest are called **yoga-nimittak** (yoga-pratyayik) bandha. Here, the term kshaya generally refers to mohaniya karma.
The main causes of bandha are yoga and kshaya (mohaniya karma). The type of karma that binds depends on the type of nimitta present in the guna-sthana. For example, the satavedaniya karma-prakriti binds due to yoga, while the asatavedaniya karma-prakriti requires the cooperation of kshaya for its binding.
There are two types of bandha that occur due to mohaniya karma (kshaya): **pramadasahkrit** and **apramadasahkrit**. Within mohaniya karma, there are also nimittas such as **sukshmasamparaya**, **badarasamparaya**, and **badarasamparaya** with **nivritti**, **anivritti**, **yathapravritti**, **apurvakaran**, **pratyakhyaneya**, **apratyakhyaneya**, **anantaanubandhniya**, **mithyatva**, etc. The **samyaktvasahakrit sankleg parinam** also acts as a nimitta in bandha.
