## Translation:
**Bam Kamenya**
The nature that causes the experience of its fruits through the qualities of knowledge, etc., directly to the soul, whether it has a body or not, and whatever the state or realm may be, is called **Jiva-vipaki** nature.
**(15) Bhava-vipaki Nature:** The nature that bears fruit only in the state of human, hell, etc., is called **Bhava-vipaki** nature. The reason for this is that even after two parts of the present lifespan have passed, and the soul is bound in the third or subsequent part, this nature does not manifest until the previous state is destroyed and a suitable future state is attained. Therefore, it is called **Bhava-vipaki** nature.
**(16) Pudgala-vipaki Nature:** The karma nature that is about to bear fruit in the **pudgala** (matter), i.e., the nature whose fruit is experienced by the soul through the **pudgala**, is called **Pudgala-vipaki** nature. The karma nature that manifests its power in the **pudgalas** taken up by the **audarika** (material) etc., **namakarma** (name karma), is called **Pudgala-vipaki** nature. In other words, the nature that bears its fruit in the **pudgala** atoms that have transformed into the form of the body is called **Pudgala-vipaki** nature.
These are the definitions of the sixteen **prakriti** (natures) mentioned here. The explanations of the remaining ten **prakriti** (natures), such as **sthiti** (state), etc., are given in their respective places in the first and second **karmagrantha** (karma texts). Therefore, we now begin the narration of the topics of the text in order, starting with the following verses.
**Prabhandhi Prakritiyaan**
First, we will list the number and names of the **dhruva-bandhini** (fixed-binding) **prakriti** (natures) in order:
