## The Fifth Karma Granth
283
It is through intellect that the components of the qualities can be understood, and their subtle nature is known. These components of the qualities are called **rasaṇu**. These **rasaṇu** are also infinite in number, even in the most gross **pudgala** substance, which is the **dravya** with the lowest **rama**. Therefore, the **karma-skandha** is said to be composed of an infinite number of **rasaṇu**, which are smaller than the smallest **dravya** - **aṇujutta**. These **rasaṇu** themselves, upon becoming the cause of the **bhāva** of the living being, bear fruit in the form of bitter or sweet (inauspicious or auspicious).
The third characteristic of the **karma-skandha** is that each **karma-skandha** is infinite in extent. It is not that the number of regions of the **karma-skandha** is fixed. But each **karma-skandha** has an infinite number of regions, meaning it is composed of an infinite number of atoms.
The essence of the above statement is that the **karma-skandha** taken in by the living being is **pudgalic**, and being **pudgalic**, it possesses **pudgalic** qualities like **p**, **rasa**, etc. It also has the power to bear fruit, which is infinite in number, even greater than the number of all living beings, and it is infinite in extent. Thus, one should know the nature of the **karma-skandha** taken in by the living being.
After explaining the nature of the **karma-skandha** in this way,
**Jīvammā jvamāyā mubhāmumāsa loyārimāṇā. Salvajīyāṇataguṇā ekatrako hoti māvāṇ. - Vachasaha 136**
Due to the **anubhāga**, the results of the living being in the form of **kṣaya** arise in two ways - auspicious and inauspicious. The auspicious results are equal to the regions of the **amanyata lokākāśa**, and the inauspicious results are also equal to that. In the **karma-pudgala** taken in by each result, there are infinite **bhāvaṇu** (**rasaṇu**) in all living beings.
