## Chapter 274:
**The Six Categories of Karma**
[1, 9-1, 41]
The **Anupurvi Karma** is of four types: **Naraka-Gati-Prayogya-Anupurvi Karma**, **Tiryag-Gati-Prayogya-Anupurvi Karma**, **Manushya-Gati-Prayogya-Anupurvi Karma**, and **Deva-Gati-Prayogya-Anupurvi Karma**.
The **Naraka-Gati-Prayogya-Anupurvi Karma** is the karma that, upon its fruition, causes a living being to be born in hell and have a body suitable for hell. Similarly, the other three types of **Anupurvi Karma** should be understood.
**Aguru-Alagha Karma**, **Upghata Karma**, **Paraghata Karma**, **Uchchvas Karma**, **Atap Karma**, and **Udyot Karma**.
The statement "There are forty-two **Pinda-Prakriti** (types of karma)" is a statement of importance. These **Prakriti** are not **Pinda-Prakriti**, and they are mentioned here to clarify this point.
**Vihayoga-Gati Karma** is of two types: **Prashasta-Vihayoga-Gati Karma** and **Aprashasta-Vihayoga-Gati Karma**.
**Prashasta-Vihayoga-Gati Karma** is the karma that, upon its fruition, causes a living being to have a noble gait, like that of a lion, elephant, or bull. **Aprashasta-Vihayoga-Gati Karma** is the karma that, upon its fruition, causes a living being to have an ignoble gait, like that of a donkey, camel, or jackal.
**Tras Karma**, **Sthavar Karma**, **Badar Karma**, **Sukshma Karma**, and **Paryapta Karma**, and so on, up to **Nirmiti-Tirthankara Karma**.
**Aparyapta Karma**, **Pratyekabuddha-Sharira Karma**, **Sadharana-Sharira Karma**, **Sthira Karma**, **Asthira Karma**, **Shubha Karma**, **Ashubha Karma**, **Subhaga Karma**, **Durbhaga Karma**, **Sukhar Karma**, **Dukhar Karma**, **Adey Karma**, **Anadey Karma**, **Yasha-Kirti Karma**, **Ayasha-Kirti Karma**, **Nirmiti Karma**, and **Tirthankara Karma**.
These are not **Pinda-Prakriti**, and they are mentioned here again to clarify this point.
