enter a soul through the Asravas. As water enters a boat through holes, so Karma enters a soul through Asravas.
Asravas are broadly divided into (a) Bhavasrava and (b) Karmasrava or Dravyasrava. The former consists of the thought-activities which cause the influx of karmic matter into a soul while the latter is the karmic matter itself, which enters a soul in this manner. In other words, in Bhavasrava we are concerned with thought activities, while in Dravyasrava or Karmasrava we have connection with matter. Abhayadeva says that Dravyasrava is the entrance of water through holes in a boat, when the boat is on the water, and Bhavastava is the influx of Karma through the five senses of Jivas. In Vardha. mana Purana we have "that Bhava made impure by attachment (Raga) etc., by which Karmas adhere to men possessing attachment, is called Bhavastava. The influx of matter, in the shape of Karma, in a Jiva grasped by impure Bhavas, is known as Dravyasrava."
Varieties of these classes of Astava will be mentioned in Verses 30 and 31 respectively.
