CHAPTER-6
INFLUX OF KARMAS
The souls (jiva) and the non-souls (ajiva) have been expounded. Now the next category, influx (asrava) of karmas, is expounded.
कायवाङ्मनः कर्म योगः ॥ १ ॥
[ कायवाङ्मनः कर्म] शरीर, वचन और मन की क्रिया (आत्मा के प्रदेशों का परिस्पन्द हलन चलन) [ योग: ] योग है।
-
The activity (kriya or karma) of the body (sarīra), the speech (vacana), and the mind (mana) is yoga'.
The words body (śarira), etc., have already been explained. 'Karma' and 'kriya' are synonyms. The activity of the body (sarīra), the speech (vacana), and the mind (mana) is called 'yoga'. The vibration in the space-points (pradesa) of the soul (ātmā) is yoga. Depending on the cause, yoga is threefold: bodily-activity (kayayoga), speech-activity (vacanayoga) and thought-activity (manoyoga). These are elaborated as follows. Bodily-activity (kayayoga) sets vibration in the spacepoints (pradeśa) of the soul (ātmā) on assimilation of one of the seven kinds of karmic-matter-fit-to-turn-into-body (kayavargaṇā)1, consequent on destruction-cum-subsidence of the energy-obstructive

1- Bodily-activity (kayayoga) is of seven kinds depending on the specific karmic-matter-fit-to-turn-into-body (kayavargaṇā): audārika kāyayoga, audārika-miśra kayayoga, vaikriyika kayayoga, vaikriyika-miśra kāyayoga, āhāraka kāyayoga, āhāraka-miśra kāyayoga, and kārmaṇa kayayoga. (see Vasunandi Śrāvakācāra', verse 39, p. 47-48).
