Sub-Chapter 1.- Bondage . पयडिद्विदिअणुभागप्पदेसबंधोत्ति चदुविहो बंधो। उक्कस्समणुकस्सं जहएणमजहएणगत्ति पुधं ॥८६॥ प्रकृतिस्थित्यनुभागप्रदेशबन्ध इति चतुर्विधो बन्धः । उत्कृष्टोनुत्कृष्टः जघन्योऽजघन्यक इति पृथक् ॥८६॥
89. Nature (of Karmic matter, Prakriti), duration (Sthiti), (strong or mild)character of its fruition(Anubhága), and number of Karmic molecules in bondage (Pradesha Bandha)-these (are) the four kinds of bondage. Maxi. mum (Utkrishta), non-maximum (Anutkrishta), minimum (Jaghanya), non-minimum (Ajaghanya)-(these are the divisions of each) separately.
सादिप्रणादी धुव अद्धवो य बंधो दु जेट्टमादीसु। णाणेगं जीवं पडि ओघादेसे जहाजोग्गं ॥१०॥ साधनादी ध्रुवः अध्रुवश्च बन्धस्तु ज्येष्ठादिषु । नानैकं जीवं प्रति श्रोधादेशे यथायोग्यम् ॥१०॥
90. Of each of the (four classes) of bondage, maximum, etc., (there are four kinds), begun (Sádi), unbegun
(Anádi), lasting (Dhruva), transient (Adhruva). (These appertain) to one or more souls with reference to stages and quests, as may be applicable.
Commentary. Mundane souls have ever been binding all the 8 kinds of Karmas. There is thus no beginning of bondage ; and bondage from this point of view is called unbegun (Anádi). At each moment of our lives we are binding fresh Karmas of one kind or the other, i.e., we bind thos Karmas again which ceased to bind once; such bondage is with beginning, and is called begun (Sádi). (See also gatha 123). All Karmas will remain bound for ever to souls incapable of liberation ; this bondage is called lasting (Dhruva). Bondage which lasts for some time only, viz. which occurs after intervals is transient (Adhruva). ठिदिमणुभागपदेसा गुणपडिवरणेसु जेसिमुक्कस्सा। तेसिमणुकस्सो चउव्विहोऽजहएणेवि एमेव ॥११॥
