## Comparison of Bandha etc. Five Terms with respect to Position
**541**
The special characteristic of the *disankamo* is that it is less than two *avali* (periods of time) from the *abhaghakal* (time of non-obstruction). **554**. The special characteristic of the *jatthidisankamma* is that it is less than one *avali* from the *abhaghakal*. **555**. The special characteristic of the *jangkidi bandho* is that it is less than one *avali* from the *abhaghakal*. **556**. The *lohasanjalan*’s *jahannadisankamo* is equal to the *sankampa* (agitation), *udayoddirana* (arising and stimulation), and *thova* (obstruction). **557**. The *jatthidi udayo* (arising of the *jatthidi*) is equal to the *jatthidisankamma* and the *tattiya* (third). **558**. The *jadi* (obstruction) *udi* (arising) is equal to the *jatthidi* *udayoddirana* and the *thova*.
(The measure of these is respectively less than two months, one month, and one fortnight from the *abhaghakal*.) The three *sanjvalana* (agitations) have a greater special characteristic of *yat-sthiti-sankrama* (transition of the state of being) than the *jahanna* (lowest) *sthiti-bandha* (state of obstruction) etc. terms. (This special characteristic is the measure of the *antar-muhurta* (inner moment), because here the entry of the *jahanna* *abhaghakal* is seen as less than two *avali*.) The three *sanjvalana* have a greater special characteristic of *yat-sthiti-sankarma* than their own *yat-sthiti-sankarma*. (This special characteristic is one *sthiti* (state of being).) The three *sanjvalana* have a greater special characteristic of *yat-sthiti-bandha* than their own *yat-sthiti-sankarma*. (This special characteristic should be known as two *avali* less than two *samaya* (time). Because, the *jahanna* (lowest) of the *sthiti-bandha* is considered to be with the entire *abhaghakal*.)
**549-555**
The *lohasanjvalana*’s *jahanna* *sthiti-sankrama*, *jahanna* *sthiti-sankarma*, *jahanna* *uday* (arising), and *jahanna* *uddirana* (stimulation) are all equal to each other and are the least compared to the terms that will be mentioned. (Because, the measure of all of these is one *sthiti*.) The *lohasanjvalana*’s *jahanna* *yat-sthiti-uday* (arising of the state of being) and *jahanna* *yat-sthiti-sankarma* are also the same, that is, one *sthiti* measure. The *lohasanjvalana*’s *jahanna* *yat-sthiti-uday* and *jahanna* *yat-sthiti-sankarma* are countless times greater than its own *jahanna* *yat-sthiti-uddirana* and *jahanna* *yat-sthiti-sankrama*. (Because, their measure is one *samaya* more than the *avali* period.) The *lohasanjvalana*’s *jahanna* *yat-sthiti-uddirana* and *jahanna* *sankrama* are countless times greater than its own *jahanna* *sthiti-bandha*. (Because, the *abhagha* (non-obstruction) *antar-muhurta* (inner moment) measure *sthiti-bandha* that happens at the last *samaya* (time) of the *anivrittikarana* (non-reversal) *gunasthan* (quality-place) is considered to be…)
**1**. What is the special characteristic? It is the *antar-muhurta* (inner moment). Why? Because, here, the *jahanna* *abhagha* (non-obstruction) is seen as less than two *avali* from the *samaya* (time).
**2**. What is the special characteristic? It is one *jatthidi* (state of being). Why? Because, the *jahanna* *sankamo* (transition) is seen at the last *samaya* (time) of the *sankamana-avali* (period of transition). The *jatthidi-sankarma* (action of the state of being) is even lower than that, because it is seen at a lower *samaya* (time). Therefore, the special characteristic should be taken as less than two *samaya* from the *sankamana-avali*’s last *samaya* (time).
**3**. What is the special characteristic? It is two *avali* less than two *samaya* (time). Why? Because, the *jahanna* (lowest) of the *jatthidi-vadha* (destruction of the state of being) is seen with the *sapushna-abhagha* (non-obstruction with nourishment).
**4**. Why? Because, all of them are of the *simetthidi* (highest) measure. How? The *disankamo* (transition) and *disankamo-uddirana* (stimulation of the transition) are the *jahanna* (lowest) because of the *samaya-ahi-avali* (period of time with nourishment) of the *suhuma-paraiya* (very subtle). [The *jatthidi-sankarma-uday* (arising of the action of the state of being) is also seen as *jahanna* (lowest) at its last *samaya* (time). Therefore, it is proven that all of them are of the *simetthidi* (highest) measure.]
**5**. Why? Because, the *jatthidi* (state of being) is different from the *jahanna-jatthidi* (lowest state of being) because of the *bhedanuvalambha* (difference in dependence).
