शेषासु तीर्थाहारं परघातचतुष्कं सर्वायूंषि। अप्रतिपक्षा शेषाः सप्रतिपक्षा हि द्वाषष्टिः ॥ १२५ ॥
125. Out of (these) remaining (73) Tirthankara, assimilative (body and limbs) the four, other destructive (Paragháta, radiance, Átápa, phosphoresence, udyota, and respiration, and) all (the 4) ages-(these 11 are) without opposite (apratipaksha). The remaining 62 certainly (are) with opposite (Sapratipaksha).
Commentary. With-opposite sub-classes are so called because they are in sets mutually repugnant; the bondage of one excludes the bondage of the other. For example, when there is bondage of pleasure-feeling, there cannot be a bondage of pain-feeling. Sometimes ane may seem to feel both pleasure and pain, but this feeling is merely the operation and not bondage of the pleasure and pain-feeling Karmas; and even then the mixed feeling is only apparent, and not real ; because attention changes from pleasure to pain so instantaneously, that although the feelings are really successive, they seem to be simultaneous. The operation also of pleasure and pain-feeling Karmas is successive and not simultaneous.
अवरो भिण्णमुहुत्तो तित्थाहाराण सव्वाऊणं । समओ छावट्ठीणं बंधो तम्हा दुधा सेसा ॥ १२६ ॥ अवरो भिन्नमुहूर्तस्तीर्थाहाराणां सर्वायुषाम् । समयः षट्पष्टीनां बन्धस्तस्माद् द्विधा शेषाः ॥१२६ ॥
126, The (process of) minimum (bondage) of Tírthankara, of assimilative (body and limbs), and of all (the four) age (Karmas, continues) for an Antar-muhúrta.. (The process of minimum bondage) of the (remaining) sixty-six (takes only) one instant. Thus the remaining (73 non-lasting Karmas are said to have a bondage of) two kinds (begun and non-lasting).
Note.--Here ends the description of the first class of bondage according to nature of the Karma, (Prakriti. Bandha).
