An Epitome of Jainism The differences in inflow in different souls caused by the same activity arise from differences in the following:
1. Intensity of desire or thought-activity. 2. Mildness » » 3. Intentional character of the act. 4. Unintentional character of the act. 5. Dependence of the act upon living and non-living substances or activities. 6. One's own position and power to do the act.
The Dependence (Adhikaraņa) is of two kinds, relating to the souls and the non-souls.
The first, i.e., dependence on the souls is of 108 kinds due to differences in the following:
1. Samarambha. Determination to do a thing. Compare intention for an offence in Criminal Law.
2. Samârambha. Preparation for it, i.e., collecting materials for it. Compare in Criminal Law the conduct of the criminal before committing the offence.
3. Arambha. Lommencement of it. Compare Attempt in Criminal Law.
These three can be done by three yogas, i.e., activity of mind, body and speech, thus there are 3 x 3=9 kinds. Each one of the 9 kindcan be done in three ways, i.e., by coing oneself, or having it done by others, or by approval or acquiescence. Thus we get 27 kinds. Each one of the 27 may be due to the 4 passions. That gives us 27 X4=103 kinds. Thus the Jaina rosary has 108 beads, one for each of these 108 Jivadhikaraņas.
These 108 kinds can become 432 kinds, if we consider each passion in its 4 aspects of error-feeding or right-belief-preventing, partial-vow-preventing, total-vow-preventing and perfect-conduct-preventing.
The second kind of dependence relating to the non-soul is of the following 11 kinds.
2 kinds of production: (1) Múla guna, i.e., of the body, speech, mind and respiration, (2) Uttara guna, i.e., production of books, pictures, statues, etc.
4 kinds of putting down a thing : (1) Apratya Vekşita, without seeing, (2) Duh-pramrista, petulantly, peevishly, (3) Sahasa, hurriedly and (4) Anâbhoga, where it ought not to be put.
2 kinds of mixing up: (1) Bhukta-pâna, food and drink, (2) Upakarana mixing up of things necessary for doing any act.
3 kinds of movement by (1) Kâya, body, (2) Vâng, speech and (3) Mana, mind.
Inflow of the Eight Karmas |--11.--Knowledge and Conation-obscuring.
The inflow of knowledge and conation-obscuring karmic matter, is caused by the following:
1. Depreciation of those who are learned in the scriptures. 2. Concealment of knowledge.
