[1.9-2.23] The location of the binding of the soul in the Chuliya
[279 The ten locations of the binding of the Mohaniya Karma - twenty-two, twenty-one, seventeen, thirteen, nine, five, four, three, two, and one. ||20||
There are ten binding locations for the Mohaniya Karma - twenty-two, twenty-one, seventeen, thirteen, nine, five, four, three, two, and one. ||20||
Of these, the twenty-two binding locations are - Mithyatva, the sixteen Kashayas, one of the three Vedas (Striveda, Purushaveda, and Napumsakaved), one of the two pairs (Hasyarati and Arati-Shok), and one of the two (Bhaya and Dugucha). ||21||
The ten binding locations mentioned above for the Mohaniya Karma are as follows: The twenty-two binding locations are - Mithyatva, the sixteen Kashayas, one of the three Vedas (Striveda, Purushaveda, and Napumsakaved), one of the two pairs (Hasyarati and Arati-Shok), and one of the two (Bhaya and Dugucha). ||21||
Mithyatva and the sixteen Kashayas, including Anantanubandhi, are the seventeen Dhruvabandhi (permanent binding) Prakruti. This is because, while they are mutually exclusive in terms of their arising, they are not mutually exclusive in terms of their binding. Therefore, the Sutras do not use the term "Ekatar" for them. The term "Ekatar" is used for the three Vedas (Striveda, Purushaveda, and Napumsakaved) and the two pairs (Hasyarati and Arati-Shok) because they are mutually exclusive in terms of their arising as well as their binding. The absence of the term "Ekatar" for Bhaya and Dugucha indicates that these two Prakruti are not mutually exclusive in terms of their binding. These twenty-two Prakruti are bound in a single state of mind.
This twenty-two-fold Mohaniya binding is first experienced by the Mithyadristi. ||22||
This is because Mithyatva, when it arises, binds the Mithyadristi soul, but does not bind elsewhere. Therefore, the Mithyadristi soul is the owner of this twenty-two-fold binding location, which is associated with the arising of Mithyatva. There are six (6) breaks in the binding. This is because, at a given time, a soul can only be bound by one of the three Vedas and one of the two pairs (Hasyarati and Arati-Shok).
Of these, the twenty-one-fold binding is experienced by the Napumsakaved. ||23||
