The infernal state of existence – narakagati, the plant and animal state of existence – tiryańcagati, the four classes (jāti) of beings (with one, two, three and four senses), the five kinds of structure of the body - samsthāna, the five kinds of joints – samhanana, inauspicious colour – varņa, inauspicious taste - rasa, inauspicious odour - gandha, inauspicious touch - sparśa, two kinds of movement of the soul towards the place of birth-narakagatiprāyogyānupūrvya and tiryaggatiprāyogyānupūrvya, self-annihilation - upaghāta, awkward movement - apraśastha vihāyogati, immobile-being - sthāvara, minute body - sūkşma, incomplete development of organs and faculties - aparyāpti, collective body - sādhārana śarīra, infirmness of limbs - asthira, unattractiveness of form - aśubha, bad-tempered - durbhaga, unmelodious voice - duḥsvara, lustreless body - anādeya, and obscurity - ayaśaḥkīrti, are thirty-four inauspicious types of name-karmas (nāmakarma). Unpleasant feeling-producing - asātāvedanīya, life as an infernal being-narakāyuh, and low status-nīcagotra, are the other three. Thus, bondage has been explained in detail. The bondage is perceived directly by clairvoyance (avadhijñāna), telepathy (manaḥparyayajñāna) and omniscience (kevalajñāna), and can be understood from the Scripture promulgated by those possessed of direct knowledge. ॥ इति तत्त्वार्थसूत्रापरनाममोक्षशास्त्रे अष्टमोऽध्यायः समाप्तः ॥ .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 344
