________________ 8.1. Annexe : 275 The five causes of bondage are: deluded world-view, nonabstinence, laxity, passions and the actions of the body, speech and mind. 9.2. Inflow of “karma” is inhibited by guarding, careful movement, morality, reflection, conquering hardships and enlighten conduct. 9.26. Renunciation means abandoning the external articles and the internal passions including the body. 9.30. Analytic and white meditations lead to liberation, 9.37. Dwelling on investigating the essence of scriptural commandments, the nature of physical and mental suffering, the effects of “karma” and the shape of the universe and its contents is analytical meditation. People who are at the spiritual stage of complete self-restraint free of laxity are capable of it. 10.1. Omniscience arises when deluding “karma” is eliminated and, as a result, knowledge-covering, intuition-covering and obstructive “karma” are eliminated. 10.5. When all karmic bondage is eliminated, the soul soars upwards to the border of cosmic space. Note: Each "sūtra" in the Tattvārthādhigama-sūtra is followed by one or several commentaries of the author giving details and explanations on it.
