impure-cognition (aśuddhopayoga) in form of dispositions of attachment (rāga), aversion (dvesa) and delusion (moha) is the psychic-bondage (bhāvabandha); this is the real bondage of the soul (jiva). The bondage of the soul (jiva) with the matter (pudgala) is just empirical (vyavahāra). It is clear that whenever the soul (jiva) perceives and knows the external substance with dispositions of attachment (rāga), aversion (dvesa) and delusion (moha), it gets into bondage. The impure transformations of the soul are the cause of bondage.

When the soul (jiva) having cognition (upayoga) - in form of knowledge (jñāna) and perception (darśana) engenders dispositions of delusion (moha), attachment (rāga) and aversion (dveṣa) for the objects of the senses, it again gets bound with those dispositions (of delusion, attachment and aversion).
Explanatory Note: When the soul (jiva) assigns its cognition (upayoga) to the objects of the senses, it engenders dispositions of
