The act of a soul accepting karmic particles in their karmic form is called **abhinava-navina karmagrahan** (new karma acceptance), and this new karma acceptance is called **bandha** (bondage).
The relationship after **bandha** is not called **bandha** because it becomes integrated into the soul's existence. Similarly, when karmas bound to the soul, through a specific result, abandon one nature and acquire another, this acquisition of a different nature should be understood as **samkraman** (transition), not **bandha**.
With this intention, the **karmagrahan** alone is not called **bandha**, but the **abhinava karmagrahan** is described as the characteristic of **bandha** in the **gatha** (verse). This means that the qualifier '**abhinava**' (new) given in the characteristic of **bandha** is like calling the water in a river **shoka nanda** (joy of sorrow). However, karmas existing in the form of existence and transitioning into a different nature are not called **bandha**.
The ability of karmic particles to cover the natural qualities of the soul, such as knowledge and perception, is called the transformation of karmic particles into their karmic form. The transformation of karmic particles into their karmic form occurs due to factors such as **mithyatva** (false belief), **avirati** (non-restraint), **pramada** (carelessness), **kashaya** (passions), and **yoga** (attachment). These are the inherent (distorted) nature of the soul, and they cause the karmic particles to transform into their karmic form.
The inherent states, such as **mithyatva**, that cause the karmic particles to become karmic forms are called **bhavakarma** (motivating karma), and the karmic particles that have acquired their karmic form are called **dravya karma** (material karma). There is a mutual dependence between the two. According to the previously accepted **dravya karma**, **bhavakarma** and...
