________________ T. G. Kalghatgi rise to fourth type of samjvalana kaşaya." In the case of subha karma the bondage is reverse. The ananiänubandhi kaşaya leads to the second degree of bondage of subha karma, as there is no bondage of the first." The Jainas. have worked out the analysis of the bondage of intensity (anubhaga-bandha) of karma, 22 The influx of karmic matter into the soul is incessant due to the activities (yoga) of the soul. The bondage of the soul with reference to the volume of karmic matter and the space of the soul occupied by it is called pradesa bandha. The volume of karmic matter entering the soul varies directly as the measure of the activity of the soul. The function of yoga is twofold, (1) pradesa bandha and (2) prakyti bandha, which determine the nature and type of bondage like jäänavaraṇiya etc. But the nature of the activity is determined by the types and intensity of kaşaya. However, although mithyatva (perversity), avirati (non-renunciation) and kaṣaya (passion) are absent, the yoga alone produces pradeša (space) occupied by the karma particles around the soul. Prakyti bandha of the vedaniya in some spiritual stage gives subsidence (upalama) of karma. 76-77. Ibid. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
