(Micchatam aviramaṇam kaṣāya-jogā ya saṇṇasanṇā du) Perverted world-view, non-abstinence, passions and [threefold] activities are of two categories: bhāva or psychic and dravya or physical; (jive bahuvihabheda tasseva aṇanņa pariņāma) [of these what are psychic] are determined by the soul, are of many types and are psychic states or modes.
Chapter - 5
(Te du ṇāṇāvaraṇādīyassa kammassa kāraṇam homti) Those perverted world-view etc. [of the physical category] become primary causes of knowledge-obscuring and other species of karma (tesim pi rāgāddosādi bhāvakaro jīvo hodi) while attachment aversion and the like, which are psychic states, become auxiliary causes of these and are determined by the soul.
Annotations :
In the third chapter (verses 3.41, 3.42) fourfold primal conditions of bondage were dealt with, viz.:
(i) Perverted world-view-mithyātva
(ii) Non-abstinence-avirati
(iii) Passions-kaṣāya
(iv) Activities-yoga
In the above verses of this chapter, the same conditions are dealt with as the primary causes of the inflow of karmic matter i.e. Aśrava. We have already studied the nature of these four earlier, so we shall just briefly recapitulate them here for ready reference.
(i) Mithyātva is the beginningless form of defiled consciousness infected with delusion produced by the deluding darśana-mohaniya karma.
(ii) Avirati (or aviramaṇa) means intense attachment of the soul to alien objects and its inability to abstain from the sinful path. (iii) Kasaya means fourfold passions-anger, arrogance, deceit, and greed. Both (ii) and (iii) are responsible for producing perverted conduct and are the results of cāritra-mohanīya karma.
(iv) Yoga means threefold activities which produce vibrations
