(pudgala) into the karmas, and that it takes in and gives up such karmas, is the empirical-point-of-view (vyavahāranaya) that deals with the impure-substance (asuddhadravya). Thus, bondage (bandha) can be classified with regard to two points-of-view: from the real-point-of-view (niscayanaya), and from the empirical-point-ofview (vyavahāranaya). The real-point-of-view (niscayanaya) is worth accepting as it deals with the nature of the pure substance (dravya). The empirical-point-of-view (vyavahāranaya) transmutes the transformation in the other-substance (paradravya) as the transformation in the soul-substance (ātmadravya); therefore, it is not worth accepting. The real-point-of-view (niscayanaya) avers that the soul (jīva) is bound by own dispositions of attachment (rāga), etc., and can get free by own effort. It is not bound by other substance. This is the only way the soul (jīva) can attain the state of passionless conduct-without-attachment (vītarāga caritra) to get rid of all karmas. That is why the real-point-of-view (niscayanaya) is worth accepting 1
