(316a) says, "is bound in 1 samaya, felt in the next and extinguished in the next but one" (comp. also Viy 183a). The performer of this spiritual Karman is characterised as samvuda anagāra, i.e. a homeless man performing a defensive action (samvara, § 169). But Vıy. 309 b adds that he, in doing so, must have released himself of all four passions, i.e. of anger, pride, fraud and greed. Strangely enough this is not mentioned in Viy. 383 b where the iriyāvahiya-bandha is reserved but to him who is free from any sexual consciousness (avagaya-veya).
Viy. 52a thought it necessary to point out that the Karman operates with the total I on the total object (savvenam savve kade) but not by and on a part of both (desenam dese, d savve, savvenam dese), and that it does so in the past, the present and the future. In this case the process of binding (kammam karer) is followed by the accumulation of the Karman (cinar and uvacınar,1 Viy. 53a), and the ensuing process (§ 86) is further more denoted by udirer, veer and nigjarer. We find the same as early as in Viy 23a, though here the author starts from the transformation of particles of substance taken in (āhārıya poggala) which, consequently, must be understood as comprising Karman atoms. Comp also Pannav. 457b ( $86) The accomplished fact of binding underlies Vry 26 This passage thoroughly deals not only with the bandhi having already bound the Karman, but also with the possibility or either impossibility (depending on the quality of the soul) of binding further Karmans in either the present or future life of the respective person. If in this Saya as well as in the following and frequently elsewhere the author comes to speak of the pāva kamma, he, by this expression, refers both to good and evil doing, whereas its limitation to guilty doing is merely fictitious and caused by the idea that guilty doing forces itself on the natural mind more readıly than a meritorious one The inflow of both merit and guilt is noted by T 7,3 as the two consequences of the yoga.
