प्रशदा असंख्या मता आत्मनो शैfacer para matut I न तद्वन्धने कारणं विद्यतेऽन्यद्विहायाश्रवान् पञ्च मिथ्यात्वमुख्यान् ॥५५॥
Meaning :- In the Soul there are innumerable Pradesas to each of which are attached infinite Varganas and Karmic particles. In attracting those Karmic Varganas and in effecting their union with the Soul, there is no other reason operating excepting these five, namely, False Belief, Vowlessness, Carelessness, Passions, and last but not the least Yoga (threefold activity). All the Karmic Varganas which had been attracted by the Soul in the past, which are being drawn in at present and which shall also be drawn into in future - are all due to these five causes of the Karmic Influx mentioned just now above. Karmic bondage is the effect brought about by the five Asravas which are the causes. What
ever reasons there are responsible for the Karmic bondage are all covered by those five Asravas. (55)
