DRAVY A-SAUGRAHA, 33.

The fourth variety of Bandha is with regard to its Pradesa (or mass!. The Karmas interpenetrate Pradesas of the soul and attach themselves to the same. Considering this existence of Karma and soul in one place, we speak of the fourth variety of Bandha with respect to its mass Pradesa).
Umásrami has also mentioned these four varities of Bandha* In Vardhamana Purana we have: "Bandha which is of an evil nature and productive of all evils is of four kinds, viz., Prakriti, Sthiti, Anubhaga and Pradeśa."† Harichandra and Viranandi also mention the same.
In a word, we consider bondage with respect to its nature (Prakriti), duration (Sthiti), intensity (Anubhiga) anil mass {Pradesal.
The nature (Prakriti) and mass · Pradeśa) of bondage result from the activities of thought, speech and body, while the duration of bondage (Sthiti) and intensity (Anubhâga) result from the attachment and aversion of the soul towards worldly objects. In other words, Kaşaya or attachment and aversion of the soul towards worldly objects is the Antaranga (internal) cause of bondage, and determines the duration and intensity of it; while the activities of mind, speech and body are the Vahiranga (external) cause of the bondage and determines its nature and mass. In Panchâstikâya-samaya-sà ra also we hare a similar ideas * "प्रकृतिस्थित्यनुभागप्रदेशास्तद्विधयः ।"
[तत्वार्थाधिगमसूत्रम् । ८।३।] + “प्रकृतिस्थितिबंधोऽ नुभागः प्रदेश-संशकः । इति चतुर्विधी बंधः सर्वानर्थकरोऽ शुभः॥"
_[वर्द्धमानपुराणम् । १६ । ४५ । ] + "प्रकृतिस्थित्यनुभागप्रदेशानां विभेदतः। चतुर्विधः प्रणीतोऽ सौ जैनागमविचक्षणैः॥"
_ [धर्मशर्माभ्युदयम् । २१ । १०८ । ] “विभेदात् प्रकृतिस्थित्योरनुभागप्रदेशयोः । जिनागमनदीनानैर्विज्ञेयः स चतुर्विधः ॥"
[चन्द्रप्रभचरितम् । १८ । ९७ ।] S"जोगणिमित्तं गहणं जोगो मणवयणकायसंभूदो। भावणिमित्तो बंधी भावो रदिरागदासमोहजुदो॥
