Jaina Sutras, Part II (SBE45)
Part II: TENTH LECTURE [*2].

^194:1 The divisions of the second Karman are the feelings or emotions enumerated in the 102nd verse of the last lecture, from disgust onward. There are seven of them, if desire for women, men, or both, is reckoned as one item, but nine, if it is reckoned as three. The sixteen divisions of the Karman produced by the cardinal passions are arrived at by subdividing each of the four passions with reference to 1. anantanubandha; 2. pratyakhyana; 3. apratyakhyana; 4. samgvalana.

^194:2 In the Dipika 103 subdivisions are enumerated; they correspond to our genera.

^194:3 3. Bhoga, 4. upabhoga; bhoga is enjoyment of flowers, food, &c.; upabhoga, that of one's house, wife, &c. The Karman in question brings about an obstruction to the enjoyment, &c., though all other circumstances be favourable.

^194:4 The Karman is considered to consist, like other substances, of atoms, here called pradesa point. The word I have translated number of atoms is paesaggam = pradesagram, which is rendered paramanuparimana.

^195:1 Ganthiyasatta = granthigasattva.

^195:2 The six directions of space are the four cardinal points, zenith and nadir. The commentators quote scripture that ekendriyas, or beings with one organ of sense, are bound by Karman in three and more directions. The true meaning of this statement is beyond my grasp.--The Dipika explains how Karman acts on the soul. The soul absorbs all material particles of a suitable nature (especially the karmapudgalas) with which it comes into contact, i.e. all that are in the same space with the soul, and assimilates them in the form of gnanavaraniya, &c., just as fire consumes everything within its reach, but nothing beyond it.

^195:3 I.e. 3,000,000,000,000,000 Sagaropamas.

^196:1 Anubhaga, explained karmarasavisesha.
