Consider a man with oil on his body exercises with martial art equipments in a place having a lot of dust; and cuts and breaks trees such as palm, Tamāla, plantain, bamboo, Asoka, and destroys in-animate and animate objects. [237, 238]
Think about the real cause of deposition of dust [on his body] while destroying these in many ways by appliances. [239]
The deposition of the dust happens due to the oil on the body. In reality, it (the deposition of dust) is not due to other factors and actions of the body. [240]
In the same way, an un-enlightened gets bonded with Kārmika dust while doing various activities having attachment, etc. in his Upayoga (pure cognitive attribute of soul). [241] Annotation
In this chapter on Kārmika bondage, Ācārya Kundakunda discusses various aspects of bondage. In the first five stanzas he first explains the real cause of bonding in case of an unenlightened being [MithyāDịşti]. To illustrate the point, he considers an example of a person engaged in exercising with martial appliances with following details:
(i) The person has applied oil on his body. (ii) He is exercising at the place having a lot of dust. (iii) He cuts and breaks various kinds of trees while exercising
