## Twenty-fourth Karma Bandha Pada
**[81 Vihabandhaga, 5 Prahava, 7 Vihabandhaga, Avihabandha, 6 Ahaava, 7 Vihabandhaga, Avihabandhage, 6 Vihabandhaga, 7 Ahaava, 7 Vihabandhaga, 8 Vihabandhaga, 6 Vihabandha, 8 Ahaava, 7 Vihabandhaga, Avihabandhaga, 6 Vihabandhaga, and so on, these are nine bhangas. As the Vaanmantraadiya (from Vaanmantraadiya) to Vaimanika (to Vaimanika) are said to be bound by seven and other karma-prakritis (as in Su. 1758 [1]), so should it be said.]**
[1761 Pra. Bhagavan! (Many) humans, while binding the Jnanavaraniya karma, how many karma-prakritis do they bind? [1761 Ut.] Gautama! 1. All humans are bound by seven karma-prakritis, 2. Or, many humans are bound by seven, and one human is bound by the Paatha, 3. Or, many are bound by seven and Paatha, 4. Or, many humans are bound by seven, and one human is bound by six, 5. Many humans are bound by seven, and many are bound by six, 6. Or, many are bound by seven, and one is bound by Paatha, and one is bound by six, 7. Or, many are bound by seven, one is bound by Paatha, and many are bound by six, 8. Or, many are bound by seven, many are bound by Paatha, and one is bound by six, 9. Or, many are bound by seven, many are bound by Paatha, and many are bound by six. / In this way, these are a total of nine bhangas. The rest, from Vaanmantraadiya (from Vaanmantraadiya) to Vaimanika (to Vaimanika), as they are said to be bound by seven and other karma-prakritis (as in Su. 1758-1), so should it be said.
**[1762. And just as it is said that those who bind the Jnanavaraniya karma also bind the Darshanavaraniya karma, so should it be said about the binding of those karma-prakritis in relation to the Jivaadiya (Jiva and others) with respect to unity and plurality.]**
**[1762] Just as it is said that those who bind the Jnanavaraniya karma also bind the Darshanavaraniya karma, so should it be said about the binding of those karma-prakritis in relation to the Jivaadiya (Jiva and others) with respect to unity and plurality.**
**Discussion -**
**The binding of other karma-prakritis along with the binding of Jnanavaraniya and Darshanavaraniya karma.**
**(1) How can the Samuccaya Jiva be bound by seven, eight, or six karma-prakritis?**
**~ When a Jiva binds the Jnanavaraniya karma, if it does not bind the Ayushya karma, then it binds seven prakritis. If it binds the Ayushya karma, then it binds the Paatha karma-prakriti. And when it does not bind both the Mohaniya and Ayushya, then it binds six karma-prakritis. Such Jivas are those who reside in the Sukhmasampraayagunasthan, who are bound by the remaining six karma-prakritis, excluding the Mohaniya and Ayushya. Only a Jiva residing in the eleventh (Upshanta-Mohaniya), twelfth (Ksheena-Mohaniya), and thirteenth (Sayogi-Kevali) gunasthanas binds only one Saataavedaniya karma-prakriti. / At that time, they bind the Saataavedaniya karma, which has two time-based states. / They do not have Sampraayik binding, because the Jnanavaraniya and other karmas of the Upshantakashaya and other Jivas are severed at the end of the tenth gunasthan, called Sukhmasampraay.**
