STUDIES IN THE BHAGAWATI SUTRA
etc., like the matters of beings, accumulated as food and collected as the physical structure, and in one's mind there arise fear, and definite intention for the killing of a being and its ending in death. Thus karma is the cause of the bondage of the soul.
States of Soul (Bhāva)1
Karmas produce six kinds of states in the soul, viz(1) audayika (the state of soul caused by the unhindered realization of the eight karma-prakṛtis-it consists of all accidental attributes of soul, (2) aupaśamika (the state is produced by the suppression of the karmas, though they still continue to exist and may be overcome by proper efforts of self-control). (3) pāriņāmika (the essential state comprising the qualities attributed to the soul in itself the qualities in which nothing is changed through the karma), (4) kṣayika (the state produced as a result of annihilation of the karmas, in the perfection this state liberation is attained), (5) kṣayopasamika (the mixed state in which some karmas still exist, but some are neutralized and some annihilated; so the existing karma does not realize itself and possesses no intensity) and (6) sānnipatikabhava (the state which consists in the concidence of several states).
Faculty of cognition or capacity of soul (Labdhi)'
Labdhi is the faculty of cognition or capacity of soul by the power of which it is capable of recognizing every thing in the present, past and future-all substances and their conditions. There are ten kinds of labdhi, viz., jñānalabdhi (faculty of knowledge), darsanalabdhi (faculty of self-awareness), caritralabdhi (faculty of conduct), caritra-caritralabdhi (that of conduct-cum-nonconduct), danalabdhi (that of giving), labhalabdhi (that of receiving), bhogalabdhi (that of enjoyment), upabhogalabdhi (that of experience), viryalabdhi (that of energy of soul) and indriyalabdhi (that of the senses). These ten kinds of labdhis are further sub-divided according to their respective classification, e. g. there are five kinds of jñānalabdhi, viz. abhinibodhika upto kevalajñānalabdhi (faculty of sensuous knowledge upto that of omniscience).
