General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 8: Bondage of karmas

Ānupūrvī (आनुपूर्वी) or Ānupūrvya refers to “migratory /movement after death” and represents one of the various kinds of Nāma, or “physique-making (karmas)”, which represents one of the eight types of Prakṛti-bandha (species bondage): one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 8. What is meant by migratory /movement after death (ānupūrvī) body-making karma? The karmas rise of which the form of the previous body does not disappear during the transitory period are called migratory form body-making karma. 

 There are four sub types of migratory form (ānupūrvī) body-making karma relating to the tendency of the soul to move towards the four states of existence, namely:

1. infernal (nāraka-ānupūrvī),
2. heavenly (deva-ānupūrvī),
3. human (manuṣya-ānupūrvī),
4. sub-human (tiryañc-ānupūrvī). 

When does the rise of migratory form (ānupūrvī) body-making karma take place? It takes place during the transitory state i.e. movement from previous existence to the next birth in the next existence.

Anupūrvī (अनुपूर्वी) refers to “serial sequences”, as explained in the Anuyogadvārasūtra: a technical treatise on analytical methods, a kind of guide to applying knowledge.—In the course of the development of a topic, many technical matters are also treated, which relate to: (1) measures of space and time, from indefinitely small to indefinitely enormous; (2) numbers (3) quantities; (4) mathematical concerns in general. These analyses are motivated by the term anupūrvī – ‘serial sequences’ – which is another understanding of the term ‘commencement’. Hence the Anuyogadvāra-sūtra is also of interest to historians of computation and mathematics in ancient India.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
