baddha

Baddha (Sanskrit) [from the verbal root bandh to bind, tie] Bound, tied, fixed; in Hinduism "bound by the fetters of existence, or evil" (Kapila). " 'Baddha' differs from 'Mukta' in being encased as it were within these 36 Tatwams, while the other is free" (Subba Row, Theosophist 3:43). As a noun, used by Jains and Buddhists for that which binds or fetters the ray of the imbodied spirit.
