105 (d) The physical signs of different genders are formed due to realisation of physique-making karma while the libidoes are volitional in character.

In contrast, the conduct-deluding karma represents a mental-cum-physical process where emotions play an important part in the behaviour of living beings-specially human beings. Thus, Digambara explanation seems to be logical as one type is non-emotional and non-experiencial while the other type is emotional and behavioural.

Thus, emotional manifestation is the characteristics of conduct-deluding karma. 3.
