________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha Belief in substances ascertained as these are is right faith (samyagdarsana). Wrong-belief (mithyadarsana) is the opposite of right faith (samyagdarsana). Abstinence (virati) is desisting from injury (himsa). Non-abstinence (avirati) must he understood to be the opposite of abstinence. Nonabstinence (avirati) is of twelve kinds, relating to the six classes of embodied souls or beings, and the six senses, mind included. The six types of living beings are the five kinds of immobile beings, namely, earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, air-bodied and plant-bodied, and the mobile beings. There are four primary passions (kasaya) - anger (krodha), pride (mana), deceitfulness (maya) and greed (lobha). These become sixteen after accounting for their subdivisions. The sixteen passions (kasaya) and the nine quasi-passions (nokasaya), together, constitute twentyfive passions. Activities (yoga) are three: bodily activity (kayayoga), mental activity (manoyoga) and speech activity (vacanayoga). Acarya Kundakunda's Pravacanasara: रत्तो बंधदि कम्मं मुच्चदि कम्मेहिं रागरहिदप्पा / एसो बंधसमासो जीवाणं जाण णिच्छयदो // 2-87 // जो जीव परद्रव्य में रागी है वही ज्ञानावरणादि कर्मों को बांधता है और जो रागभावकर रहित है वह सब कर्मों से मुक्त होता है। निश्चयनयकर संसारी आत्माओं के यह रागादि विभावरूप अशुद्धोपयोग ही भावबन्ध है ऐसा बन्ध का संक्षेप कथन तू समझ। The soul (jiva) with attachment (raga) toward the external objects makes bonds with karmas and the soul without attachment toward the external objects frees itself from bonds of karmas. Certainly, the impure-cognition (asuddhopayoga) of the soul (jiva) is the cause of bondage; know this as the essence of bondage. @ @ . . . . . . . . . . . . . 284
