Karmastava
- There are 120 karma-prakritis considered to be bandha-yogya (capable of binding) due to the combination of 2+5 bhedas (categories). Although there are 63 or 103 prakritis of nama-karma in detail, the reason for mentioning 67 prakritis here in the bandha-yogya prakritis is that bandha (binding) and sanghatan (aggregation) are inseparable in the case of sharira nama-karma. That is, they cannot exist without the body. Therefore, in the bandha or udaya (arising) state, bandha and sanghatan nama-karma are not counted separately from sharira nama-karma and are included in the sharira nama-prakriti. Also, due to the desire for non-difference (abheda-vivksha) in the four categories of varna (color), gandha (smell), rasa (taste), and sparsa (touch), their twenty bhedas are included, resulting in four bhedas being taken in the bandha and udaya states. 1. Panch nav donni chhanni samvi ya charo kaman satchhi. Vopi ya panch pa bhania edao mandha paydio.
- According to the Go. Karmakan, 35 karma-prakritis are bandha-yogya due to abheda-vivksha (desire for non-difference). However, due to bheda-vivksha (desire to speak of difference), there are 146 karma-prakritis that are bandha-yogya. This is because, out of the three bhedas of darshan moha (perception-delusion) - samyaktva (rightness), samyagmithyatva (partially rightness), and mithyatva (wrongness) - only the mula mithyatva prakriti is considered bandha-yogya. The reason for this is that the bound mithyatva prakriti is categorized by the jiva (soul) into three maags (paths) through its parinamas (transformations) - ashudha (impure), ardhashudha (partially pure), and vishudha (pure). This results in three bhedas of mithyatva. Among them, the vishudha karma-pudgals are called samyaktva-mohaniya (capable of being deluded by rightness) and the ardhashudha karma-pudgals are called sampamithyatva-mohaniya (capable of being deluded by partially rightness). Therefore, by not including the two prakritis of samyaktva and samyagmithyatva of mohaniya-karma in the bandha-yogya prakritis, 146 prakritis are considered bandha-yogya due to bheda-vivksha.
In the first karma-grantha (text on karma), the names of the eight prakritis that are generally bandha-yogya, udaya-yogya, etc., have been mentioned. Therefore, they are not mentioned again here.
