________________ Verse 147 When the soul (jiva) is engaged in auspicious-cognition (subhopayoga), like giving of gifts and adoration of the Supreme Beings, there is certainly the bondage of meritorious (punya) karmas. When the soul (jiva) is engaged in inauspiciouscognition (asubhopayoga), like evil passions and sensegratification, there is certainly the bondage of demeritorious (papa) karmas. When the soul (jiva) is not engaged in either cognition, no bondage of material karmas takes place Acarya Nemicandra's Dravyasamgraha: बज्झदि कम्म जेण दु चेदणभावेण भावबंधो सो / कम्मादपदेसाणं अण्णोण्णपवेसणं इदरो // 32 // जिन चेतन परिणामों से कर्म बंधता है वह तो भावबन्ध है, और कर्म तथा आत्मा के प्रदेशों का एकमेव होना अर्थात् आत्मा द्वारा पुद्गल कर्मों का ग्रहण करना द्रव्यबन्ध है। Dispositions of the soul, like perverted faith actuated by passions, cause psychic bondage (bhavabandha), and the interpenetration of the karmic matter with the space-points of the soul is termed as material bondage (dravyabandha). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 279
