After Karma is bound, it does not immediately start giving its fruits, nor does it give its full fruits all at once. But it starts giving fruits in due course and gradually destroys its power. The statement of Sthitibandha is made to indicate the maximum and minimum time limits for the Karma to remain connected with the soul from the time of its binding to the time of its destruction.
