## The Sixty-Second Chapter
**156**
The movement of the soul through its regions is called yoga, and it is the cause of bondage. This yoga is the single cause of bondage in the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth *guna-sthana* for the *sa-vedaniya*. || 30 ||
Mental yoga is of four types, verbal yoga is of four types, and bodily yoga is of seven types. All these yogas are the cause of *prakriti* and *pradesa* bondage, as per their respective capacities. || 31 ||
O Aryas! The living being is always bound by the one hundred and twenty *karma-prakriti* through the five *mithyatva* etc., in their respective places. || 311 ||
Due to these *prakriti*, the living being repeatedly wanders through the various *paryaya* like *gati* etc. In the first *guna-sthana*, all living beings are equal. There, the living being is endowed with three *ajnanas* and three *adarshanas*. It has three *bhavas*: *audhayika*, *maya-pashmika*, and *parinaamika*. It lacks *samyama*. Some living beings are *bhavya* and some are *abhavya*. Thus, trapped in the whirlpool-like pit of the cycle of existence, the living being experiences various distinctions like birth, old age, death, disease, pleasure, and pain. It has been dwelling in this world since time immemorial. || 312-313 ||
Some living beings, having obtained the *kala* etc. *labdhi*, overcome the seven *prakriti* like *mithyatva* etc. through the *parinaama* of *adha-karan*, *apuurva-karan*, and *anivritti-karan*. They sever the cycle of existence and attain *samyama* and *samyag-darshan*. || 314 ||
Then, by the destruction of the *apratyakhyana-avaran* *kashaya*, they become *shravaka* and accept the twelve vows. Sometimes, by the destruction of the *pratyakhyana-avaran* *kashaya*, they attain *maha-vrat*. Sometimes, by the destruction of the seven *prakriti* like *ananta-anubandhi* *krodha*, *mana*, *maya*, *lobha*, *mithyatva*, *samya-mithyatva*, and *samyaktva*, they attain *kshayika* *samyag-darshan*. Sometimes, they are adorned with *kshayika* *charitra* arising from the destruction of the enemy in the form of *moha-karma*. || 315-317 ||
Then, they become the holder of the second *shukla-dhyana* and destroy the three *ghati*. At that time, by attaining the nine *kevala-labdhi*, they become *arhanta* and are worshipped by all. || 318 ||
After some time, by the third *shukla-dhyana*, they stop all yogas. And by the influence of the fourth *shukla-dhyana* called *samuccchinna-kriya-pratipaati*, they destroy all *karma-bandha*. || 319 ||
Thus, O *bhavya*, like you, *bhavya* beings, by crossing the ocean of existence through the three types of *san-marga* attained in succession, always progress happily. || 320 ||
Thus, having heard this description of the process of birth and liberation spoken by the Jinas, Amitateja, the lord of all *vidyadharas*, drank it like nectar. || 32 ||
**Note:** The text refers to the sixteen types of *kashaya* mentioned by the Tirthankaras. This *kashaya* is considered to be the cause of *sthiti-bandha* and *anubhaga-bandha* in the *upashanta-moha* *guna-sthana*. || 308 ||
