minor-bond, bond-ownership consideration, sensation, vector (vargaņā) and major-bond. The fourteen stations of the bios are called control stations due to yoga and moha. The fourteen way-ward stations are classified on the basis of certain characteristic properties of different sets of bios.
In what follows the names of the topics represent the extension of the experessions through the semantics needed for the exposition of the Karma system theory :
The Sațkhandāgama texts begin with the representation of existence (sat), number of fluent measure (saṁkhyā or dravyapramāņānugama), field (kşetra), contact (sparsa), time, lag (antara) phase, and comparability (alpabahutva). Then topologies (cūlikās) are introduced : configuration, station, first, second and third long verses (mahādandakas), greatest lifetime, least life-time, sameliness generation (samyaktvotpatti), transit (gati-âgati).
The second part is on the minor bonds.
The third part is on the consideration of the owner of bonds. There are twenty-four topics : activity (krti), sensation (vadana) contact, action (karma), configuration, bonding, co-bonding (nibandhana), prosequence (prakrama), subsequence (upakrama), rise (udaya), realization (mokşa), trans-sequence (saṁkrama), complex (leśyā), complex action, complex effect, pleasure-cum-non-pleasure, long-short, incarnation-conception (bhavadhāraṇīya), material assimilation (pudgalātta), nidhatta anidhatta nikācita anikācita, karma life-time, ultimate karmic existence (pascima skandha), comparability.
The fourth part is on the sensation, based on the sixteen topics : abject (nik sepa), stand-point clarification (nayavibhāşanatā), nameregulation (nāma-vidhāna) ; regulations of fluent, field, time, cause, ownership, sensing, transit, lag, combinatoral, quantity, part-cumnonpart, and comparability. Detailed description is also based on the ownership of the sensation with respect to fluent, field, time and phase.
The fifth part is on the vectors. This is divided into three sub-sections: (1)contact (2) karma, (3) configuration. The contact section is described in thirteen types of contacts : name, abject, fluent, unity-field, consequentfield, partial contact, skin, all, touch, karma, bond, reachable, phase. The karma section is of ten types : name, abject, fluent, experiment, mutual (samavadāna), lower, way-movement, austerity, activity and phase. The section on configurations details the original and suboriginal types
