________________ Jaina Karmology 47 The passions have twenty-five varieties : (1-15) sixteen classes of passions (involving four varieties each of anger, pride, deceit and greed) and (17-25) nine quasi-passions of laughter etc. detailed earlier in chapter VI There are thirteen types of activities or Yoga : (1-4) four types of mental activities-true, false, true-cum-false and a-true-cum-a-false (5-8) four types of vocal activity as above and (9-13) five types of bodily activities. The sixth spiritual stagers of non-vigilant restraint have general and mixed ejectable bodily activities too. Thus, there may be fifteen types of activities too. 30. The non-vigilance has many varieties. It may be disrespect or looseness in (a) eight types of restraints due to purity in volition, body, speech, modesty, quasi-passions, alms-begging, sleeping, seating and excretion and (b) ten types of religious form like supreme forgiveness, humility, straight-forwardness, non-greed, truth, austerity, restraint, renunciation, celibacy and non-possession. Thus, the non-vigilance may have many varieties with respect to these points. 31. The above five factors cause karmic bondage in a concurrent manner as well as individual way. This is because the completion of sentences has varied forms. In the first spiritual stage of wrong faith, the five factors of bondage are operative. The lingering-faithed, rightcumfwrong faithed and non-restrained right faithed ones have four bonding factors operative beginning from non-abstinence upto the activity. In the case of fifth stage of restraint-cum-non-restraint, there are three prominent operative causes for bonding-namely non-vigilance, passions and activity though they are associated secondarily with nonabstinence. The sixth stagers at non-vigilantly restrained stage have three operative causes-non-vigilance, passions and activity. There are only two operative causes for karmic bondage in case of seventh to tenth spiritual stages-passions and activities or Yoga. There is only one operative cause-activities or yoga in case of eleventh to thirteenth stages-the stages of (i) subsided and (ii) destroyed passions and (iii) dynamic omniscience. There is no cause for bonding in the fourteenth spiritual stage of static ominicience. It must be kept in mind that every variety of perversity etc. serves as a cause of karmic bondage in the respective stages. However, not all varieties of perversity etc. could be simultaneously operative in Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
