## Chapter 56: Description of Transition Stages in the Sattva-sthana
Transition stages are found in the Sattva-sthana. Again, with the destruction of the Stri-vedaka, ten natural transition stages are found along with eleven natural Sattva-sthana. Again, after the destruction of the six non-kashaya (Hasyādi), four natural transition stages are found along with five natural Sattva-sthana. Again, with the destruction of the Nava-kavddha Purusha-vedaka, three natural transition stages are found along with four natural Sattva-sthana. Again, with the destruction of Sanjvalana-krodha, two transition stages are found along with three natural Sattva-sthana. Again, with the destruction of Sanjvalana-mana, one transition stage is found along with two natural Sattva-sthana. In this way, the transition stages are described along with the Sattva-sthana of the Mohaniya karma.

Now, we will follow the transition stages in the Bandha-sthana of Mohaniya karma. A Mithyatva-drishti jiva with 28 natural qualities has 27 natural transition stages along with 22 natural Bandha-sthana (1). When the same jiva develops the Samyak-tva natural quality, it has 26 natural transition stages along with 22 Bandha-sthana (2). When the same jiva develops the Samyak-mithyatva natural quality, it has 25 natural transition stages along with 22 Bandha-sthana (3). A jiva who has attained Mithyatva by disassociating from the Ananta-anubandhi, has 23 natural transition stages along with 22 natural Bandha-sthana in its first Avli (4). In this way, four transition stages (27, 26, 25, and 23) are found in 22 natural Bandha-sthana. Now, we will describe the transition stages in 21 natural Bandha-sthana. A Sasadan-samyak-drishti jiva has 25 natural transition stages along with 21 natural Bandha-sthana (1). A jiva who has attained the Sasadan-guna-sthana by disassociating from the Ananta-anubandhi, has 21 natural transition stages along with 21 natural Bandha-sthana in its first Avli.
