Tattvārthasūtra
fruition - anubhava - varies in degrees and is likened to the creeper (latā), the wood (dāru), the bone (asthi), and the rock (saila). The other four main types of karmas – feeling-producing (vedanīya), lifedetermining (āyuh), physique-making (nāma), and statusdetermining (gotra) - are called non-destructive (aghāti) as these do not interfere with the essential characteristics of the soul. These nondestructive (aghāti) karmas have two classes, merit (punya) and demerit (pāpa). The fruition - anubhava - of the merit (punya) varies in degrees and is likened to the molasses (guda), the sweetmeat (khānda), the sugar (sarkarā), and the nectar (amrta). The fruition - anubhava - of the demerit (pāpa) also varies in degrees and is likened to the margosa (nimba or nima), the sour gruel (kańjīra), the venom (visa), and the deadly poison (halāhala). (see 'Sarvārthasiddhi', p. 314).
Fruition-bondage (anubbhavabandha) has been described. Now space-bondage (pradeśabandha) must be described. In describing it these points must be indicated. What are its causes? When does it occur? How does it occur? What is its nature? Where does it occur? What is its transformation? The next sūtra proceeds to give particulars in the order in which the questions are put.
नामप्रत्ययाः सर्वतो योगविशेषात्सूक्ष्मैकक्षेत्रावगाहस्थिताः
सर्वात्मप्रदेशेष्वनन्तानन्तप्रदेशाः ॥२४॥
[नामप्रत्ययाः] ज्ञानावरणादि कर्म प्रकृतियों के कारणभूत [ सर्वतः ] सर्व भावों में प्रतिसमय [ योगविशेषात् ] योगविशेष से [सूक्ष्मैकक्षेत्रवगाहस्थिताः ] सूक्ष्म, एकक्षेत्रावगाही और स्थित [अनन्तानन्तप्रदेशाः] अनन्तानन्त पुद्गल परमाणु [ सर्वात्मप्रदेशेषु ] सर्व आत्मप्रदेशों में (सम्बन्ध को प्राप्त) होते हैं।
