________________ Tattvārthasūtra contained therein is ‘ājñāvyāpādiki kriyā”. 20. The indifference to observe the injunctions laid down in the Scripture owing to dishonesty or laziness is ‘anākańkşākriyā”. These five activities pollute the conduct. 21. Indulgence in activities such as piercing, striking, slaughtering, and so on, or feeling delight when these are committed by others is 'prārambha kriyā. 22. Persevering in one's attachment to worldly objects is ‘pārigrāhiki kriyā’. 23. Deceitful practice in regard to knowledge, faith, etc., is (māyā kriyā’. 24. Corroborating another's wrong belief by praising actions based on it is ‘mithyādarśana kriyā”. 25.

(see also 'Harivansapurāna', p. 667-668). The senses, the passions, the vowlessness and the activities are the causes, and the effect is influx (āsrava) of ‘sāmparāyika' karmas which lead to the cycle of births and deaths. The threefold activity (yoga) is common to all living beings, except the liberated souls (mukta jīva). Does it mean that there is no difference in the bondage of karmas and the enjoyment of fruit? No, it is not so. Though the activities are found in all living beings, these are of infinite varieties according to the dispositions behind these. This is explained in the next sūtra. तीव्रमन्दज्ञाताज्ञातभावाधिकरणवीर्यविशेषेभ्यस्तद्विशेषः ॥६॥ [तीव्रमन्दज्ञाताज्ञातभावाधिकरण-वीर्य-विशेषेभ्यः] तीव्रभाव, मन्दभाव, ज्ञातभाव, अज्ञातभाव, अधिकरणविशेष और वीर्यविशेष से [ तद्विशेषः] आस्रव में विशेषता - हीनाधिकता - होती है। Influx (āsrava) is differentiated on the basis of 238
