Answer

If you mean dhruvabandhi prakruti in Jain karma theory, it refers to those karma-natures whose bondage is continuous and निश्चित—that is, while the general causes for bondage are present, that karma keeps binding regularly, not only sometimes. In the Karmagrantha tradition, 47 prakrutis are counted as dhruvabandhini out of the 120 bondage-eligible prakrutis. ( jainqq.org)

Explanation

In simple words, dhruvabandhi means a karma-prakriti that has a steady pattern of bondage. It is contrasted with adhruvabandhi, where bondage may happen and may not happen, depending on conditions. The text explains that dhruvabandhini prakrutis bind “every moment” up to the period of bondage-interruption, while adhruvabandhini prakrutis do not have such uninterrupted bondage. ( jainqq.org)

Examples given in the tradition include some of the name karma prakrutis, along with certain vedaniya, mohaniya, ayu, and gotra prakrutis. The same source lists many of the 73 adhruvabandhini prakrutis separately, showing that dhruvabandhi and adhruvabandhi are a classification based on the continuity of bondage. ( jainqq.org)

Spiritual Understanding

This teaching helps us understand that karma is not random in Jain Dharma. The soul’s activities, passions, and inner states influence which karmas bind and how steadily they bind. Knowing this encourages one to reduce passions and practice self-restraint, so bondage becomes weaker and liberation becomes possible. ( jainqq.org)

Takeaway

Dhruvabandhi prakruti = karma natures with steady, continuous bondage. It is an important Jain classification for understanding how karma binds the soul. ( jainqq.org)
