Gommatasara Karmakanda-179
Further, the nature, number and owner of the Yoga-sthana due to the cause of nature and the bondage of the region are described in 42 verses.
Yoga-sthana are of three types: Uppapad Yoga-sthana, Ekanta-vridhi Yoga-sthana and Parinama Yoga-sthana. And in these, there are 14-14 divisions of each, with respect to the 14 Jiva-samasa. In these, there are three divisions of each, namely, Jghanya, Utkrushta and Ajghanya-anutkrushta.
**Meaning:** Yoga-sthana are of three types - Uppapad Yoga-sthana, Ekanta-vridhi Yoga-sthana and Parinama Yoga-sthana. And in these, there are 14-14 divisions of each, with respect to the 14 Jiva-samasa. In these, there are three divisions of each, namely, Jghanya, Utkrushta and Ajghanya-anutkrushta.
**Special Meaning:** In the first moment of being born, there is Uppapad Yoga. From the second moment till the last moment of being insufficient, there is Ekanta-vridhi Yoga. The special thing is that in the case of Labdhya-paryapta, Ekanta-vridhi Yoga occurs in one-third of their lifespan, i.e., below the time suitable for Aayu-bandha. After Ekanta-vridhi Yoga, there is Parinama Yoga.
There are three Yoga-sthana, namely, Uppapad Yoga-sthana, Ekanta-vridhi Yoga-sthana and Parinama Yoga-sthana, in the case of seven Labdhya-paryapta Jiva-samasa. There are two Yoga-sthana, namely, Uppapad Yoga-sthana and Ekanta-vridhi Yoga-sthana, in the case of seven Nivrutti-paryapta Jiva-samasa. There is only Parinama Yoga-sthana in the case of seven Nivrutti-paryapta.
Further, the nature of Uppapad Yoga-sthana is described:
Uppapad Yoga-sthana is the state of one moment. In the first moment of the crooked motion of Vigraha-gati, there is Jghanya Uppapad Yoga-sthana. And in the first moment of the straight motion of the Jiva, who goes straight without being crooked and attains the new Paryaya, there is Utkrushta Uppapad Yoga-sthana. These Uppapad Yoga-sthana should be known in the 14 Jiva-samasa.
**Special Meaning:**
**Doubt:** In the first moment of attaining the Paryaya, there is only the state of being insufficient. How can there be Uppapad Yoga-sthana in the Paryapta Jiva-samasa?
**Solution:** The Yoga-sthana that occurs in the first moment of attaining the Paryaya of the Nivrutti-paryapta Jiva should be known as Uppapad Yoga-sthana in the Paryapta Jiva-samasa, because there is the rise of his Paryapta-namakarma.
