Classification of souls (gatha 72)

Gommatasara provides a detailed summary of Digambara doctorine.[3] It is also called Pancha Sangraha, a collection of five topics:[7]

  1. That which is bound, i.e., the Soul (Bandhaka);
  2. That which is bound to the soul;
  3. That which binds;
  4. The varieties of bondage;
  5. The cause of bondage.

The first of these, namely, (Bandhaka) i. e., the mundane soul forms the subject-matter of Jiva Kanda (description of the soul). The other four form the subject-matter of Karma Kanda.[7]

gollark: Isn't that more of an encoder parameter than a fundamental thing of that?
