The Jivas (living beings) who bind the five Jnanavaranas (knowledge-obscuring karmas), nine Darsanavaranas (perception-obscuring karmas), one Mithyatva (false belief), sixteen Kashayas (passions), Bhaya (fear), Jugupsa (disgust), Taijas (luminous body), Karmana (karmic body), Varnachatushka (four colors), Agurulaghu (heavy and light), Upaghat (injury), Nirmana (constructive activities), and five Antarayas (obstructive karmas) are infinite in number compared to the total number of all living beings. The non-binding Jivas are infinitesimal compared to the total number of all living beings. The Jivas binding Satavedaniya (pleasant feeling-producing karma) are countable among all living beings, and the non-binding ones are innumerable. The Jivas binding Asata (unpleasant feeling-producing karma) are innumerable among all living beings, and the non-binding ones are countable.
Similarly, the consideration of the proportions of the Jivas binding Sthiti (duration), Anubhaga (intensity), and Pradesa (spatial) bondages has been extensively discussed in the Guna-sthanas (stages of spiritual development) and Marga-nas-thanas (stages of spiritual path) by adopting the terms of Utkrista (superior), Anutkrista (inferior), Jaghanya (lowest), and Ajaghanya (not lowest).
(18) Parimana-prarUpana (Exposition of Numerical Determinations): In this Anuyogadvara (scriptural division), the numerical determinations of the Jivas binding and not binding a particular Prakriti (karma) of a particular Jati (species), of a particular Anubhaga (intensity), and of a particular Pradesa (spatial extent) within one Samaya (instant) have been expounded. For example, the Jivas binding the five Jnanavaranas, nine Darsanavaranas, one Mithyatva, sixteen Kashayas, Bhaya, Jugupsa, Taijas, Karmana-sarira, Varnachatushka, Agurulaghu-chatushka, Atapa, Udyota, Nirmana, and five Antarayas are infinite, and the Jivas not binding them are also infinite.
Regarding Sthiti-bandha (duration bondage), the Jivas binding the Utkrista (superior) duration of all the eight karmas are innumerable. The Jivas binding the Anutkrista (inferior) duration are infinite. The Jivas binding the Jaghanya (lowest) duration of seven karmas are countable, as the Jaghanya duration binding occurs only in the Ksapaka-sreni (series of annihilation). The Jivas binding the Ajaghanya (not lowest) duration are infinite.
The Jivas binding the Jaghanya and Ajaghanya durations of Ayukarma (life-determining karma) are infinite.
Regarding Anubhaga-bandha (intensity bondage), the Jivas binding the Utkrista (superior) intensity of the four Ghatiya (destructive) karmas are innumerable. The Jivas binding the Anutkrista (inferior) intensity are infinite. The Jivas binding the Jaghanya (lowest) intensity are countable, and the Jivas binding the Ajaghanya (not lowest) intensity are infinite.
Regarding Pradesa-bandha (spatial bondage), the Jivas binding the Utkrista (superior) and Anutkrista (inferior) spatial extents of the three Ayus (life-spans) and Vaikriyika-shataka (six transformable bodies) are innumerable. The Jivas binding the Utkrista and Anutkrista spatial extents of Aharaka-sarira (food-transforming body) and Aharaka-angopanga (food-transforming limbs and appendages) are countable. The Jivas binding the Utkrista spatial extent of Tirthankara-prakriti (Tirthankara-producing karma) are countable, and the Jivas binding the Anutkrista spatial extent are innumerable. The Jivas binding the Utkrista spatial extent of the remaining Prakritis are innumerable, and the Jivas binding the Anutkrista spatial extent are infinite.
In this way, the numerical determinations of the Jivas binding the Jaghanya and Ajaghanya spatial extents of all the Prakritis have been expounded in this Anuyogadvara through Ogha (deductive) and Adesa (injunctive) methods.
(19) Ksetra-prarUpana (Exposition of Spatial Extents): In this Anuyogadvara, the exposition of the present spatial extents of the Jivas binding the Jnanavaranaadi (knowledge-obscuring and other) karmic Prakritis has been extensively discussed, which can be easily understood based on the Jiva-sthana (location of living beings) spatial exposition presented in this text.
