(ii) 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 Non-covetousness, this Karma Bondage is called Nonadoption (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.
(iv) Even lesser in severity are the four Karma Bondage which may not obstruct acceptance of major vows or Mahavratas but may cause blemishes and minor breaches in the proper acceptance and implemetation of the major vows of non-violence etc. These are called Sanjvalan Karma relating to Anger, Pride, Deceipt and Greed and are also of four types.

While there are four main passions called Kashayas there are nine Pseudo-passions or sub passions called No-kashaya which are attendant upon and lead to the intensification of the four passions viz. 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). These sub-passions are described below alongwith the causes leading to them in brief-
(i) Laughter-Deluding (Hasya Mohaneeya) Karma Bondage is caused by ridicule of true religion, poor people and undue loud laughter and results in non-serious disposition and unjustified tendency towards laughter.
(ii) Attachment Deluding (Rati Mohaneeya) Karma Bondage is caused by non-restraint in life and indifference in the observance For Private & Personal Use Only
