The Prajnapana XIII.1.600 informs that mula prakṛtis are bound due to ragadueşa or kaşayas. It is said in the Bhagavati XI.1.439 (which refers to 1.1.18) that one binds seven karma prakṛtis excluding ayus by giving way to four kasayas. 1.1.18 and I.9.78 discussed in E-3a-3 consider that an indisciplined monk (asamarta) and a monk enjoying adhakarma bind seven karma prakṛtis excluding ayus. These are relevant to avirati. Mithyadar's ana is the obvious cause of avirati. These texts belong to the fifth canonical stage, which testifies that the causes of bandha in five kinds were theorized in the very late canoni
cal period.
