## Translation:
**The four Gunasthanas of the Narakas (hells) and the four Gunasthanas of the Devas (gods) are the same. Only the fifth Gunasthanas, where the Kevalgyan (omniscience) is attained, is free from all the coverings (Avaranas) and is extremely pure. Sleep, wakefulness, movement, stillness, and attachment to the body (Sthyanagridhi) can be overcome. A human being can ascend through all the Gunasthanas.**
**They have destroyed the coverings of sleep, wakefulness, visual perception, non-visual perception, Avadhi perception, and Kevalgyan perception. They have also destroyed the fortresses of the unbearable and the bearable. The Darshanmohaniya (the nature of right faith, the nature of wrong faith, the worldly being affected by karmas, and the one who acts contrary to his nature while being engaged in eternal consequences) and the Charitramohaniya (the nature of right conduct and the nature of wrong conduct) are of two types. The Charitramohaniya is of two types: Kshaya Vedaniya (afflicted by passions) and Nokshaya Vedaniya (not afflicted by passions). Thus, the beings endowed with Darshan, Gyan, and Swabhav (perception, knowledge, and nature) are of two types: superior and inferior. The Kshaya Vedaniya is of sixteen types, and the other, which is of nine types, I will describe later. The beings are capable of acquiring the emotions according to their actions, which are either equal or unequal. The first Kshaya Chakra (infinitely connected anger, pride, deceit, and greed) is a cause of misfortune and is the seventh (it receives various karmic consequences). Just as oil, fire, and its flames cause hell, the karma pudgal also transforms according to the emotions. Thus, intense passions, infinitely connected anger, pride, deceit, and greed are extremely difficult to overcome. This being, intoxicated by the flavors of passions, does not attain peace, even though the Tirthankara addresses him. Just as fuel receives the fire, karma binds karma. Bad karma binds bad karma, and good karma binds good karma. But the Siddha Bhattarak does not bind anything. The Abhavya beings, even though they are addressed by the Jinanath, are seen as many, not one. The coverings of Mati (intellect), Shruti (hearing), Avadhi (clairvoyance), Man:paryaya (mind perception), and Kevalgyan are four. They have destroyed the burning, blazing, and glowing.**
