(1) An ascetic in the Shaileshi state (at the 14th Gunasthan) does not attract any karma. This is because the bondage of karmas is caused by affiliation and that state is devoid of any affiliation.
(2) An ascetic in the Sayogi Vitaraga state (the detached having residual affinity; from 11th to 13th Gunasthanas) acquires the iryapathik bondage (transitional bondage) lasting just two samaya (the smallest fraction of time).
(3) An ascetic in the Apramatta state (the alert; from 7th to 10th Gunasthanas) acquires a minimum bondage lasting just one antarmuhurt (less than 48 minutes) or a maximum bondage lasting eight muhurt (six hours and 24 minutes).
(4) An ascetic in the Pramatta Samyat state (a negligent but disciplined ascetic; 6th Gunasthana) if acquires bondage while leading life conforming to Agams it is for a minimum period of one antarmuhurt (less than 48 minutes) or a maximum period of eight years and it is shed during that incarnation only.
(5) An ascetic in the Pramatta Samyat state (a negligent but disciplined ascetic; 6th Gunasthana) if acquires bondage while leading life not conforming to Agams it is called Akuttikrit karma. Such karma is destroyed by atonement after consciously understanding it. This is because the karma acquired due to stupor can be destroyed only by alertness. Ten types of atonements are mentioned in Sthananga Sutra.
