અધ્યાત્મતત્વાલક,
{ vizajn Kammapayadi or some other standard work on Jainism. The assimilation of the soul with the karma is again noted in four ways; (1) the dormant state before the manifestation of Karma ( Sattā ) ; ( 2 ) fusion of the fresh Karmas with the soul ( Bandha ); (3:) actual rising of the Karma ( Udaya ); ( 4 ) process of causing Karma to operate earlier than its natural time ( Udiranā ) Prakritibandha and Pradeshbandha result from the activities of the mind, speech and body, external causes of bondage and Sthitibandha and Anubhavabandha are produced from passions, the internal causes of bondage.
Samvara Tattva :-Samyara means stopping the inflow of Kārmic matter into the soul ( Tattvarthā. dhigama chapter IX Sutra I ). It can be practised in fifty-seven ways i. e. by five Samitis, three Guptis, ten Yati Darma, twelve reflections, twentytwo Parishahas and five Chāritrās. ( Sutra II ):!
Five Samitis :--These rules are intended generally for the prevention of Hinsā. 1 Careful and cautious walking so as not to
injure any living being. 2 Careful use of speech so as not to cause pain
to any one by disagreeable words. 3 Taking and eating pure food free from forty
two impurities as mentioned in the scriptural
texts. 4 Careful handling of things such as begging
bowls, books and the like ; so as to avoid injury to small insects..
