COMMENTARY
We have observed that the Bhavasravas are thought-activities which prepare the way for the influx of matter into Jiva. Dravyasrava is the actual flowing in of matter into the soul by which the eight kinds of Karma mentioned in Verse 14 are produced. As it is easy for particles of dust to stick to the body of a person if the same be smeared with oil, so it becomes easier for particles of matter to enter a soul when it is vitiated by certain thought-activities (Bhavasravas). First of all, therefore, these are the reprehensible thought-activities (Bhavasravas). These are followed by the influx of matter (Dravyaxava). When matter enters the soul in this manner, the eight kinds of Karma are produced.
Thus, Dravyasrava may be said to be primariy of eight kinds according to the eight varieties of Karma, viz. Jnanavaraniya, Darsanavarniya, Vedaniya, Mohaniya, Ayu, Nama, Gotra and Antaraya. Further subdivisions are also made of these kinds of Karmas. Jnanavaraniya is said to be of five kinds-Darsanavara niya of nine, Vedaniya of two, Mohaniya of twenty-eight, Ayu of four, Nama of ninety-three, Gotra of two and Antaraya of five kinds. The total number of the varieties of Dravyasrava is there fore, one hundred and forty-eight. The author of Dravya-Samgraha has treated these varieties in detail in his work named Gommata Sara (Karma-kanda). Here verse, he simply says that Dravyasrava is of many varieties. Consequently, we need not go into these detailed subdivisions.
