________________ Dravyasamgraha istic is cetană. The karmic matter which is acetana in nature while operating, interferes with the pure consciousness of the jīva. On account of this interference the various psychic states present in the empirical Self are really the effect of the operative cause of the karmic matter. These psychic states constitute the suffering associated with the samsārī jīva. Chakravarti, A. (Prof.), Ācārya Kundakunda's Samayasāra, p. 234. Ācārya Umasvami’s Tattvārthasūtra आद्यो ज्ञानदर्शनावरणवेदनीयमोहनीयायुर्नामगोत्रान्तरायाः ॥ (8-4) The type-bondage is of eight kinds, knowledge-obscuring, perception-obscuring, feeling-producing, deluding, lifedetermining, name-determining (physique-making), statusdetermining, and obstructive karmas. Ācārya Pujyapada's Sarvārthasiddhi The first, that is type-bondage, must be understood to be of eight kinds. Covers or is covered by this is covering. This is added to each - knowledge-covering, perception-covering. Feels or is felt by this is feeling. Deludes or is deluded by this is deluding. That, by which one takes the form or state of a hellbeing and so on, is life (āyu). Names or is named by this is name. That by which one is called high or low is status (gotram). That which comes between the host, the guest, gift and so on is obstructive karma (antarāya). The matter taken in by the thought-activity of a single self is turned into eight kinds as described above, just as the food taken once is changed into blood and other fluids. Jain, S.A., Reality, p. 220. 106
