329. How many types of karma bondage occur due to psychophysical activities (Yog)?
Here there is bondage of only one type, that of pleasure producing feeling karma (Sata vedniya karma).
330.
The total types of karma are 148, and in the bondage mentioned above (question 323-329), we considered only 120. So what happened to the remaining 28 types of karma?
They emerge in touch, taste, smell, and skin color; plus we shall also consider twenty subtypes as follows:
1. Touch-8 2. Taste-5 3. Smell-2 4. Skin color-5
If we consider touch, taste, smell and skin color as individual composites, then there are four. Since each would include its subtypes, we are subtracting 16. Five bodies (Sharir) also include five bondages of the parts of body (Bandhan Karma), and five integrations of the body karma (Sanghat Karma). Therefore ten more need to be substracted. The enlightened soul makes three divisions of his prior false believe karma. At this time, the right/wrong belief karma (Mishra mohniya) and clouded right belief karma (Samkit Mohniya) and wrong belief karma (Mithyatva) are born. Thus, there are two less covered in the counting. In this way we account for, 16+10+2=28 karma types.
