There are five distinctions of karma:

(1) Utksepana or throwing upwards. In this way, due to action the conjunction takes place with the higher plane.

(2) avakespana or throwing downwards in which action leads to conjunction with the lower plane.

(3) akunchana or contraction, which activity is designed to create conjunction in an ever nearer sphere such as twisting the hand.

(4) Prasarana or expansion.

(5) Gamana or locomotion.
