अध्याय-८
The subdivisions of name-karma have been described. The subdivisions of status-determining (gotra) karma are described next.
उच्चैर्नीचैश्च ॥१२॥
[उच्चैर्नीचैश्च] उच्चगोत्र और नीचगोत्र - ये दो भेद गोत्र कर्म के हैं।
The high-status (uccagotra) and the low-status (nīcagotra) are the two subdivisions of statusdetermining (gotra) karma.
The status-determining (gotra) karma is of two kinds: the gotra karma of high-status (uccagotra) and the gotra karma of low-status (nīcagotra). Owing to the rise of the former, an individual is born in a high or noble family of great respectability and prestige. Due to the rise of the latter one gets birth in a low-status family, lacking in prestige and respectability. The high-status family has the tradition of noble conduct; the low-status family has the tradition of vicious conduct.
The subdivisions of the eighth kind, the obstructive (antarāya) karma, are now mentioned.
दानलाभभोगोपभोगवीर्याणाम् ॥१३॥
[दानलाभभोगोपभोगवीर्याणाम् ] दानान्तराय, लाभान्तराय, भोगान्तराय, उपभोगान्तराय और वीर्यान्तराय - ये पाँच भेद अन्तराय कर्म के हैं। प्रकृतिबन्ध के उपभेदों का वर्णन यहाँ पूर्ण हुआ।
