________________ 136 RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE JAINAS at death, is determined towards the place of the devas. (There must be some force which causes the person at death to travel in the right direction to reach his next destination, whether to another planet or elsewhere, and it is this karma). 71. That karma which determines the direction of the living being at death towards the place of the nārakas. 72. That karma which determines the right direction of travel at death, for the entity to go to the place of the human beings. 73. That karma which determines the direction of the living being at death towards the place of animals (tiryanca). GROUP 14 2 Vihāyogati nāma karmas 74. That karma by reason of which the gait is bad. (As for instance, when the feet are turned inwards and are dragged along shuffling.) 75. That karma by reason of which the gait is good. That completes the first batch of 14 groups of 'collective' personality or nāma karma. Now follow three more batches, namely of 8, 10 and 10 respectively, namely : 8 Pratyeka Prakrti Nāma Karmas 76. Parāghāta nāma karma, by reason of this karma the person does not get conquered or beaten. 77. Ucchvāsa nāma karma, by reason of the activity of which, the person is able to breathe fully. To the extent that this karma is weak the person is not able to breathe. 78. Ātapa nāma karma. Its nature is to give a kind of warm lustre and to make others feel warmth in the presence of the person, (not always pleasant), though the person himself does not feel this warmth. We may feel overawed in the presence of that person. 79. Udyota nāma karma gives a bright lustre, but it is cool, not warm as the previous one was, so that you feel at home with the person. 80. Agurulaghu nāma karma makes the body neither heavy nor light. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
