- kãran
- Fundamental. One of the three bodies of the jeev. It is the fundamental body, consisting of the jeev's desires, which causes the jeev to take birth again. The kãran body itself is ignorance that has been fused with the jeev. It retains the jeev's sanchit karmas and is the cause of the sthul and sukshma bodies just as a seed is the cause of a tree.
- kriyamãn karma
- Deeds whose consequences are in the process of being formed. Current deeds - including words and thoughts - which will eventually be added to the stock of karmas (sanchit karmas) until they 'ripen' to give rewards as prãrabdha karmas, either later in the present life or in a future life.
- prãrabdha karma
- Deeds whose consequences are already set in motion. The portion of the stock of karmas (sanchit karmas) that are presently giving rewards, based on the principle of past deeds shaping present events. The prãrabdha karmas influence the nature of a person’s body and associations, prevailing circumstances, and even personal strengths.
- sanchit karma
- Accumulated deeds. Immeasurable stock of all deeds performed, in infinite past lives and in the present life. The karmas are retained in the kãran body until the karmas ‘ripen’ to eventually give rewards as prãrabdha karmas, either later in the present life or in a future life. [Vadtãl – 6].
