Chapters on Passions
81.
The term 'baddha' (bonded) means already bonded while the term 'badhyamāna' means undergoing bonding to form a new bond. Thus, this verse places question on the positions of passions in specific destinities during the four processes of 'bonded, under-bonding, non-fruitional subsidence and prematuration.
82-83. TI ese verses repeat the same question as in 81 with respect to
the nine investigation doors of (1) mind-endowment, (2) embodiment, (3) senses, (4) righteousness, (5) restraint, (6) conation, (7) knowledge, (8) yoga, (9) aureation and others. The word 'ceva' in the verse indicates the five non-mentioned doors here.
84.
This verse poses two questions regarding bondership and nonbondership of 16 passional positions with respect to experiencer and non-experiencer of different passional positions.
91.
The disquisition door of chapter on righteousness has 15+4 = 19 verses dealing with : (1) Subsidence of faith-deluding Karma
(2) Destruction of faith-deluding Karma. The first four verses (91-94) deal with the first Samaya operations under the stage of low-tended volitions (~7" sp. st.). The nature of volitions of the subsider of FD Karma may be pure, purer, simply distressed or more distressed. The second part of the verse inquires about the possibility of some or all activities etc. under the same process. All these are better and better onwards after 7th sp.st.
