________________ Tattvārthasūtra namely, 'downfall' – sāsādanasamyagdrsti - onwards. What is that karma? That karma is of sixteen kinds: wrong-belief – mithyātva, neuter-sex – napumsakaveda, infernal-lifetime - narakāyuḥ, infernal state of existence - narakagati, birth as a one-sensed being-ekendriya jāti, birth as a two-sensed being - dvīndriya jāti, birth as a threesensed being - trindriya jāti, birth as a four-sensed being - caturindriya jāti, unsymmetrical body-hunda samsthāna, extremely weak joint - asamprāptāsịpātikā samhanana, transmigrating force tending to infernal state of existence - narakagatiprāyogyānupūrvi, emitting warm light - ātapa, the body possessing one sense only – sthāvara, the subtle body - sūkşma, the undeveloped body - aprayāptaka, and the collective body-sādhārana śarīra.

These karmas, the influx of which is caused by nonrestraint (asamyama) arising from the anantānubandhi passions (kaşāya), bind one-sensed beings, etc., only up to the end of the second stage of spiritual development - sāsādanasamyagdrsți.
