English: The soul assimilates the lifeless particles suitable for Karma by indulging in defilement and that constitutes the bondage.
After narrating the factors that lead to bondage in the first sutra, these sutras explain how the bondage occurs. There are lifeless particles pervading everywhere in the cosmos. Among them, there are the particles that can be transformed into Karma. Those particles continue to flow in all directions. They would continue to move without any impact on soul, if it does not do anything to attract them. However, when the soul indulges in defilement, it creates the condition, which attracts those particles towards it. Thereby they get transformed into Karma particles and penetrate Pradeshas (provinces) of soul. Such Penetration constitutes the bondage.
