When the Karma bondage is less severe but still such that the four passions do not permit adoption of even minor vows (Anuvratas) of layman of Non-violence, Truth, Non-theft, Continence and Noncovetousness, this Karma Bondage is called Non-adoption (of vows) Karma of Anger, Pride, Deceipt and Greed (Apratyakhanavarni Karma) and is also of four types. (iii) Slightly less severe than the above are the four types of Karma bondage pertaining to each of the four Kashaya (Passions) which permit adoption of minor vows or vows of layman i.e. Anuvratas but do not permit acceptance of major vows or vows of saints i.e. Mahavratas in respect of Non-violence etc. and are called Pratyakhanivarni Karma and are also of the four types viz., Anger, Pride, Deceipt, and Greed.

Anger, Pride, Deceipt and Greed. These nine are: (i) Laughter (Hasya), (ii) Attraction (Rati), (iii) Repulsion (Arati), (iv) Fear (Bhaya), (v) Grief (Shok), (vi) Hatred (Ghrina), (vii) Feminine (Stree Veid), (viii) Masculine (Purush Veid) and (ix) Neuter (Napusank Veid).

(ii) Attraction Deluding (Rati Mohaneeya) Karma Bondage is caused by non-restraint in life and indifference in the observance Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
