impious karma-matter towards the soul (Pāpasrava) and under right psychic dispositions they get bound with it (Pāpa-bandha). When such karmic bondage ripens and yields fruits, they are invariably painful. Thus, the discussion about the fundamental of demerit is also linked with that of karmic influx and bondage.
In his work ‘Pañcāstikāya' Kundakundācārya defines sin as actions that are predominantly negligent, wicked thoughts, indulgent attitude in sensual pleasures and tormenting others. The activities that are considered sinful are – violent actions, telling lies, stealing, sexual indiscretion, unlimited accumulation, conspicuous consumption, anger, pride, guile, greed, aversion, quarrelsomeness, laying false blames, back-biting, jealousy, wrong beliefs, impious attachment towards the mundane pleasures and objects of sin, lack of compassion and uncharitable disposition, thinking ill of others, verbally tormenting the suffering, speaking ill of others, etc.
From the stand-point of types of karmic influx and bondage that takes place while enjoying the fruits of earlier bonded sinful acts, the pāpa is of two types - 1. Punyānubandhī pāpa, in which one gathers merit while suffering the inevitable retribution of earlier sins. The example of such pāpa is when one suffers in silence and in a state of equanimity of mind thinking that it is his own karma that he is to blame and helps others in spite of his suffering, and gathers merit. 2. Pāpānubandhi Pāpa, in which one gathers further demerits while suffering the retribution of one's earlier sins. For example, when one laments, cries and yells while suffering the retribution due to one's earlier bonded sins as well as indulges in further sinful pursuits, one gathers further demerits.
The list of unfavourable fruition that one can get through sinful acts is long. However, some of them are the bonding of following karma : -
