148. Question: How many sub-categories are there of **utkrusht bandh** (superior bondage) etc.? Answer: There are four: **saadi**, **anaadi**, **dhruv**, and **adhruv**. The bondage that stops and then resumes is called **saadi bandh**. The bondage that continues from **anaadi** (beginningless) until **vyuchchitti** (liberation) is called **anaadi bandh**. The bondage that is continuous is called **dhruv bandh**, and the bondage that has intervals is called **adhruv bandh**. The **abhavya** (non-liberated) being has **dhruv bandh**, and the **bhavya** (liberated) being has **adhruv bandh**. 146. Question: How do the **saadi-anaadi-dhruv-adhruv** categories occur in the **mool prakritis** (fundamental substances)? Answer: Except for **vedaniya** (sensory) and **ayu** (life-span) karma, the remaining six karmas have all four types of bondage: **saadi**, **anaadi**, **dhruv**, and **adhruv**. **Vedaniya karma** has three types of bondage except for **saadi**, and **ayu karma** has only **saadi** and **adhruv** bondage.
1. **Vedaniya** does not have **saadi bandh** because even when ascending the **upsham** (subduing) category, there is no absence of bondage of **vedaniya** in general. (Go. Ka. p. 100, 612, Tika Pu. A. Adimatiji; Samp. Ratanchand Ji Mukhtar).
