Saras, is prashn ka sahi arth yeh hai: “Kis tarah ke karmo se āyush kam bandhti hai?”

Jain dharm ke anusār āyush ko “Āyuṣya‑karma” nirdharit karta hai. “Karma zyada/ kam” kahne se nahin, balki kaun sa āyu‑karma bandha, uski sthiti (duration) aur anubhāg (teevrata) kya hai—isse agle janm ki umr tai hoti hai.

Jin bhāvon se chhoti ya dukhdayak āyush bandhti

• Teevra kaṣāy: krodh, mān, māyā, lobh.
• Hiṁsā, krūrta, chori, asatya, asayyam, kam‑vasna, atyadhik parigraha.
• Sadhu‑sainton ko dukh dena, dharm‑nindā, chaturvihiṁsā (bahut jeevoṅ ko hani) jaisi vr̥ttiyan.

In bhāvon ke samay bandhi āyu aksar alpāyu manuṣya/tiryañch ya narki/duḥkhmay gati ki hoti.

Jin bhāvon se dīrgha/śreyaskārī āyush bandhti

• Ahimsā, dayā, maitri, kṣamā.
• Satya, aparigraha, brahmacharya, saiyam.
• Tap, dān, vinay, pratikraman, svādhyāy.

Inse uchch gati (deva/manuṣya) aur adhik/śubh āyush bandh sakti hai.

Mahattvapūrṇ baat

• Āyush is janm meṁ “badhti‑ghatti” nahin; jo āyu‑karma pichhle janm meṁ bandha tha, wahi is janm ki umr nirdharit karta hai.
• Digambar aur Śvetāmbara—donon paramparāoṁ meṁ yahi siddhānt mānya hai; mūl tatva meṁ antar nahin.

Aur adhik jānkari:

• Āyuṣya‑karma ka sār aur prakar:
• Karma siddhānt ka saral parichay:
