________________ Verse 149 रागादि द्रव्यकर्म भी बन्ध के बहिरंग निमित्त हैं - The dispositions of attachment (raga), etc., are also the causes of bondage (bandha) - हेदू चदुव्वियप्पो अट्ठवियप्पस्स कारणं भणिदं / तेसिं पि य रागादी तेसिमभावे ण बझंति // 149 // हेतुश्चतुर्विकल्पोऽष्टविकल्पस्य कारणं भणितम् / तेषामपि च रागादयस्तेषामभावे न बध्यन्ते // 149 // अन्यवार्थ - [चतुर्विकल्पः हेतुः] (द्रव्यमिथ्यात्वादि) चार प्रकार के हेतु [अष्टविकल्पस्य कारणम् ] आठ प्रकार के कर्मों के कारण [भणितम् ] कहे गये हैं, [ तेषाम् अपि च] उनके भी [ रागादयः] (जीव के) रागादिभाव कारण हैं, [ तेषाम् अभावे ] रागादिभावों के अभाव में [न बध्यन्ते ] (जीव से कर्म) नही बंधते हैं। Four causes have been mentioned for bondage of the eight kinds of karmas. These four causes are due to the soul's dispositions of attachment, etc. Without such dispositions, the soul does not get into bondage (bandha). EXPLANATORY NOTE The Scripture outlines four causes - wrong-belief (mithyadarsana), non-abstinence (avirati), passions (kasaya) and activities (yoga) - for bondage (bandha) of the eight kinds of karmas. Now, these four causes arise due to the soul's dispositions of attachment, etc. Without such dispositions, the soul does not get into bondage with the karmas. Mere presence of the karmic-molecules (pudgala) of wrong-belief (mithyadarsana), non-abstinence (avirati), passions (kasaya) and activities (yoga), does not result in bondage of the soul. The soul's dispositions of attachment, etc., are the real cause of bondage (bandha). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 283
