________________ KARMA: THE BASIS OF JAINA PSYCHOLOGY 27 Binding Realisation Premature realisation Endurance Comprehension obscuring karma Apprehension obscuring karma Feeling-producing karma Deluding karma Age-determining karma Physique-making karma Status-determining karma Power-obscuring • karma Total ... 120 122 122 158 In the state of endurance all the species exist. In that of realization the number is only one hundred and twenty-two, because fifteen bindings and the five types of scrapings are not included in it as they are taken to exist implicitly in five kinds of bodies. Colour, odour, taste, and touch are only reckoned as four species instead of twenty. In the state of premature realization the same number of species is counted. In the state of binding, the number is one hundred and twenty only, since samyaktva and miśra mohaniya karmas are not separately bound, inasmuch as they are merely the purified conditions of mithyātva. Therefore, they are subtracted from the species occurring in the states of realization and premature realization, so that the total number in the state of bondage hundred and twenty only. The length of duration as well as the intensity of fruition of a karma is definite. Despite this fixation every karma can increase or decrease its realization. The process through which the realization is increased is called 'increased realization and through which the realization is decreased is known as 'decreased realization'.1 (Pre 1 Karma-praksti (Bandhana karana), p. 19 (2).
