In the state of *fasay* (non-conscious), *upaśama* (cessation) is not found in any of the four *sthānas* (states). However, in the state of *saṃjñi* (conscious), all four *sthānas* are found, including *upaśama*, *sattva* (being), and *udaya* (arising).
Now, the question arises: "Which *sthāna* does a being experience, and which *sthāna* does it bind to?" This question is answered based on the *saṃjñi* path. A *fasay* being experiences the *dvistāniya* (two-fold) *anubhāga* (experience) and binds to the *dvistāniya* *anubhāga* according to the rule. However, a *saṃjñi* being experiences the *ekastāniya* (one-fold) *anubhāga* and binds to the *ekastāniya* *anubhāga* according to the rule, not to the other *sthānas*.
A *saṃjñi* being experiencing the *dvistāniya* *anubhāga* binds to the *dvistāniya*, *tristāniya* (three-fold), and *chatuhsthāniya* (four-fold) *anubhāgas*. A *saṃjñi* being experiencing the *tristāniya* *anubhāga* binds to the *tristāniya* and *chatuhsthāniya* *anubhāgas*. However, a *saṃjñi* being experiencing the *chatuhsthāniya* *anubhāga* binds to the *chatuhsthāniya* *anubhāga* according to the rule, and remains unbound to the other *sthānas*.
From this explanation, it should be understood that the question "Which *sthāna* does a being not experience, and which *sthāna* does it remain unbound to?" is also answered. Because a being experiencing the *ekastāniya* *anubhāga* remains unbound to the *ekastāniya* *anubhāga*, this is clearly stated by the principle of *vyatireka* (exclusion).
Just as the above questions are answered based on the *saṃjñi* path, they should also be understood based on the paths of *gati* (motion) and others. For this information, the author has used the phrase "evam savvattha kāyavvam" in the *gāthā-sūtra* (verse-sutra). This means that in the *tiryag-gati* (animal path), the binding and unbinding of *anubhāga* *sthānas* should be understood in the same way for both *saṃjñi* and *fasay* paths. Similarly, in the paths of *naraka* (hell), *deva* (heaven), and *manushya* (human), the binding and unbinding should be understood in the same way as the *saṃjñi* path. The only difference to keep in mind is that in all paths except the *manushya* path, pure binding and arising of the *ekastāniya* *anubhāga* is not possible.
Similarly, the *indriya* (sense organ) path and others should also be understood in this way.
**Churnis. - These sixteen *gāthā-sūtras* are related to the *adhikar* (chapter) called *Chatuhsthāna*. Now, their *arthavibhāṣā* (explanation of meaning) is given. The subject of this *anuyoga-dvāra* (chapter) is to explain the *ekakanikshepa* (individual deposit) and *sthānanikṣhepa* (state deposit). Of these, the *ekakanikshepa* has been explained earlier and is also a pre-established principle. || 3-6. ||**
**Visheshārtha - To understand the meaning of the term *Chatuhsthāna*, it is necessary to explain it. This can be explained in two ways - *ekakarupase* (individually) and *sthānarūpase* (state-wise). The first, *ekakanikshepa*, means that the word *chatuh* (four) refers to the individual *sthānas* like *lata* (creeper), *dāsamaṇādi* (slave, etc.), *koha* (anger), etc., and their *sthānas* (states) like *koha* (anger), etc. This is called *nikṣhepa* (deposit) in the sense of *ekakarupase* (individually). The *sthānanikṣhepa* means that the word *sthāna* (state) refers to the *sthānas* (states) like *sthāvana* (stationary), etc., and their *sthānas* (states) like *sthāvana* (stationary), etc. This is called *nikṣhepa* (deposit) in the sense of *sthānarūpase* (state-wise).**
