________________
The set of (bounded) karma paramánus at an instant in configuration bond is called instant effective bond (IEB) (samayaprabaddha) and its minimum and maximum values are as under :
Maximum Value = Number of emancipated bios x a
Number of bounded bios
Minimum Value
=
where 'a' is some large number.
As the elements in the set of emancipated bios are changing with time, we say that the set of IEB is variable. 2. Point bond (Pradesa Bandha)
In the set of binding of karmic matter with bios the point bond decides how many points of space be occupied by this karmic matter. 3. Recoil Energy bond (Anubhaga Bandha)
It deals with the energy imparted to the karmic matter. The enrgy possessed by karmic matter is responsible for giving results (phala). 4. Life Time bond (Stithi Bandha)
The life time bond is the time period for which the matter is bounded with bios.
In addition, we need some more information about karma paramanus which now we mention as under. Rise
When the karma paramūnus are in bounded state, they posses activation energy, but they cannot utilize that energy in this state. But when the life time bond is finished, the bounded karma paramānus becomes free to utilize their energy. We can understand this by taking simple example of any configuration e.g. knowledge screening karma paramānus will obstruct the knowledge of bios. This process is called rise of karma paramānus. Time Lag Period
When the karma paramánus are in bonded state, their inherent energy require some specific time depending upon the configuration and the period is termed as time lag period after which the desired effect of energies are seen. Niseka
Niseka is the group of karma paramānus which rise in one instant. It forms a particular system as if they are cells in the body which are created,
