The Quantity of Bondage In consonance with their nature according to their names, and due to the differences in the vibrations (yoga) in the soul-activity, not perceptible by the senses, the karmic molecules enter, become one, and stay with every Pradeśa of the soul. They come in infinite numbers, every moment, to each soul.
The particular number of the molecules actually absorbed is called pradeśa-bandha.
Duration of Bondage The maximum duration of Knowledge-obscuring, Conation-obscuring, Feeling and Obstructive karmas is 30 crore X crore Sâgaras.
This is possible in a rational five-sensed, fully developable (pary âpta) soul, who has wrong-belief (Mithyâtva).
The maximum duration of Deluding-karma is 70 crore X crore Sagaras.
The maximum duration of Body-making and Family-determining karmas is 20 crore x crore Sagaras each.
The maximum duration of Age-karma is 33 Sagaras.
The minimum duration of Feeling karma is 12 Muhûrtas=12 X 48 minutes=9 hours 36 minutes. That of Body-making and Family-determining is 8 Muhûrtas.
