entirely fall off from the soul. In the 13th stage also they are nonexistant, as binding the soul. In all these 3 stages, passion is either entirely absent or entirely inactive. Therefore the duration and fruition bondages which are due to passion do not arise. But in all the three stages, vibration (Yoga) exists, therefore Karmas are created. The duration is of the simplest and shortest kind, i. e., of one-instant only. The fruition also lasts only for one instant and is therefore necessarily very intense and concentrated. The nature Prakriti is also only of the pleasure-feeling class (Sátá-vedaniya). The normal duration bondage (Sthiti Bandha) is for one-antar-muhúrta. This does not take place here. Therefore it is said that there is no duration-bondage here. In the non-vibratory omniscience, i. e., the 14th stage, there is neither passion nor vibration and consequently there is none of the four kinds of bondages. It should be remembered that the 14th stage is of very short duration. It really means the transition of the perfect soul from its mundane condition to the condition of liberation.

Commentary.
Vibratory divisions are of three kinds, without-interval (Nirantara) and with interval (Sántara) and mixed. They are an innumerable part of basic line of universe, but the ultimate classes of Karmas are those multiplied by innumerable times the innumerable spatial units of the universe. It is so, because there are innumerable kinds of thought-activities with reference to ignorance and intense or mild passions in mundane souls. Scriptural-knowledge-obscuring sub-class alone has many innumerable divisions, as the different kinds of knowledge due to their destructive-subsidence is of innumerable kinds.
