Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 8: Bondage of karmasVedanīya (वेदनीय) refers to “feeling producing (karmas)” and 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.—Accordingly, “what is meant by feeling producing karmas (vedanīya)? The karmas, rise of which, produce a feeling of misery or pleasure is called feeling producing karma”.

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.
