attached to their environments. It is why the celestial human, and sub-human ages are taken to be good.
कम्मसरूवेणागयदव्वं ण य एदि उदयरूवेण। रूवेणुदीरणस्स व आबाहा जाव ताव हवे ॥ १५५ ॥ कर्मस्वरूपेणागतद्रव्यं न च एति उदयरूपेण । रूपेणोदीरणाया वा आबाधा यावात्तावद्भवेत् ॥ १५५ ॥
155. So long as (Karmic) matter which has assumed the form of Karma, does not reach the condition of (ma. tured) operation (Udaya) or the condition of premature operation (Udírná) (it is said to be in) quiescence(Abádhá).
Commentary. Karmic matter flows into the soul on account of soul-vibrations, and by operation of Karmic body sub-class of body-making Karma ; and then binds the soul, for a definite duration varying with the intensity of passions. The period between the moment of bondage and the commencement of its operation, matured, or immatured, is called Abadha.
उदयं पडि सत्तण्हं आबाहा कोडकोडि उवहीणं। वाससयं तप्पडिभागेण य सेसहिदीणं च ॥ १५६ ॥ उदयं प्रति सप्तानामाबाधा कोटीकोटिः उदधीनाम् । । वर्षशतं तत्प्रतिभागेन च शेषस्थितीनां च ॥ १५६ ॥
158. With regard to (mature) operation (Udaya) the quiescence (period) of the seven (Karmas, i.e., all except the age Karma is) 100 years when (the bondage duration is) a crore of crore Ságaras. And for the other durations, (it is) in the same proportion.
Commentary. In a year there are 360 days; in a day 30 muhúrtas, and 3773 pulse-beats in a muhúrta, which consists of 48 minutes. Thus in on hundred years there are 100 x 360x24x60x3,773:4834,07,48,40,000 pulse-beats. The quiescence for a bondage duration of one Ságara is 4,07,48,40,000-10,00,00,00,00,00,000 of one-pulse beat. Thus it is clear that Karmas whose bondage is of ordinary duration begin to operate practically at once.
