## Papa 55-56
**Guṇasthāna / 56**
The destruction of karmas is the cause of the results that occur in the Kṣapaka श्रेणी, and the suppression of karma is the cause of the results that occur in the Upaśama श्रेणी. So, can these different results be unified?
**Solution:** No, because the results that occur in Kṣapaka and Upaśama beings are more similar in their impermanence than in their permanence. This makes them unified.
To clarify the increase in results from time to time in the Apūrvakaraṇa, here is a numerical representation:
The number of results of Apūrvakaraṇa is 4016 in the numerical representation. Time = Time. The results of the first time are 456, the results of the second and subsequent times are 7, 8, ..., 5, 20, 13612-565. In this way, the results increase from time to time.
**Bihapayale aspi pau upasamanti upasamaya.**
**_Khavam dukke khava ya niyameṇa khavanti moham tu. ||55||_** - The Upaśama beings, whose bondage of sleep and activity of the mind has been destroyed and who have remaining lifespan, suppress moha (delusion). And the Kṣapaka beings, who ascend the Kṣapaka श्रेणी, destroy moha by the rule of Kṣapaka. ||55||
**Special Meaning:** The Apūrvakaraṇa Guṇasthāna has seven parts. In the first part, the sleep and activity of the mind of the Mīnāvaraṇa karma are unbound. Because the bondage of the Styāna, Gṛddha, and Trika is unbound in the second Guṇasthāna, called Sāsādana. In the sixth part of the Apūrvakaraṇa, the bondage of the thirty natures of the Aramvika (karma that arises in the next life) is unbound. In the seventh part, the bondage of the four No-Kṣaya (non-destructive) karmas - Hāsya (laughter), Rati (attachment), Bhaya (fear), and Jugupsā (disgust) - is unbound. And the arising and cessation of the six No-Kṣaya karmas - Hāsya, Rati, Arati (disattachment), Śoka (sorrow), Bhaya, and Jugupsā - also occur.
The Upaśama श्रेणी ascender does not die until the first part of the Apūrvakaraṇa. But after the first part, death is possible. If death does not occur, then the 21 natures of the Cāritramohaniya karma are suppressed by the rule of Liam. And if death occurs, then by the rule, they become un-restrained Samyagdrṣṭi in the Vāimānika Devas. The beings who ascend the Kṣapaka श्रेणी do not die. They destroy the 21 natures by the rule.
In this Apūrvakaraṇa Guṇasthāna, four new essential beginnings occur: 1. The destruction of the Sthitikāṇḍaka, 2. The destruction of the Anubhāgakāṇḍaka in the form of infinite parts of the Praśubha karma, 3. The destruction of the Guṇasthāna श्रेणी from time to time, and 4. The transition of Guṇasthāna. In the time of one Sthitikāṇḍaka destruction, there are a thousand Anubhāgakāṇḍaka destructions.
The form of the Anivṛttikaraṇa Guṇasthāna is:
**_Ekkamhi kālasamaye saṇṭhāṇādihi jah giyati._**
**_Rae riṇayati tah ciya pariṇāmehi miho je hu. ||56||_**
