JAINISM AND BUDDHISM
When karmic bondage occurs, it appears in four kinds, therefore bondage is said to be of four kinds. Dravya Sangraha says :—
पयडिट्टिदि अणुभागप्पदेसवेधादु चदु विधोबंधो । जोगा पयडिप्रदेसा दिदि अणुभागा कसायदो होंति ॥
212
Paya di thidi anu bhaga ppadesa-bhedâ du chadu vidho bandho,
Joga payadi pradesâ thidi aṇu-bhaga kasâ yado honti
Bondage is of four kinds, Prakriti or class-bondage, sthiti or duration bondage, anubhaga or fruition bondage, and pradesa or molecular bondage; of these class and molecular bondages are caused by yoga or attractive power working and soul vibrations; and duration and fruition bondages are caused by passions.

When karmic molecules are bound, then they assume different kinds of nature according to different thought-activities of the being, this is called Prakriti
Bandha.
The number of molecules bound for each class or sub-class bearing different natures is called pradesa bandha. The bound up molecules will be exhausted till such a period-this duration is called sthiti bandha.
When they will be ripened, their fruition will be mild or strong. This is called anubhaga bandha.
Yoga or attractive power working under soul vibrations is good or bad according to good or bad activities
