THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
योगप्रवृत्तिः लेश्या कषायोदयानुरञ्जिता भवति । ततो द्वयोः कार्य बन्धचतुष्कं समुद्दिष्टम् ॥ ४६० ॥
490. The vibratory activity (of the soul) coloured by the operation of the passion (sub-class of deluding karma) is thought-paint ( Leshya). Therefore 4 ( kinds of) bondage has been said to be the effect of these two.
Commentary.
Vibratory activity (Yoga) determines the nature of Karmic matter (Prakriti) and the number of Karmic molecules (Pradesha) which bind the soul. The passions (kasháya) by their intensity, etc. determine the duration of bondage (Sthiti), and strong or mild character of fruition (Anubhága.)
