The Sacred Book of the Jains 67 be said to be Papa, while the Aghatiya Karmas may be either Punya or Papa.
Satavedaniya is that Karma by which a soul feels pleasure in external objects and by the assistance of which things which are gratifying to the soul may be procured. Subha Ayu (Auspicious life) consists in having an existence as a god, human being or a beast. Subha Gotra (Auspicious family) consists in being born in a high status of life. Subha Nama (Auspicious name) consists of fame, etc., and is of various kinds. All these make up what is known as Punya.
Papa, on the other hand, consists of Asatavedaniya or that Karma which produces pain and procures objects causing pain, Asubha Ayu (Inauspicious life) viz. an existence in hell, Asubha Gotra (Inauspicious family) comprising a birth in low status and Asubha Nama (Inauspicious name) consisting of disgrace, etc.
With this ends that section of Dravya-samgraha which treats of the seven Tatyas (principles) viz. Asrava, Bandha, Samvara, Nirjara, Moksha, Punya and Papa. The next section will deal with the manner by which one can attain liberation.
