Gommatasar Karmakanda - 480
There are 15 sattva sthana (states of being).
* **Sattva sthana** is a state of being where the 26th nature (samyagmithyatva) is aroused due to the arousal of the 27th nature (samyaktva mohaniya) out of the 28 natures. This sattva sthana is also characterized by anadi mithyadristi (eternal wrong belief).
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 24th nature is present due to the disconnection of the four ananta anubandhi (infinitely connected) out of the 28 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 23rd nature is present due to the destruction of mithyatva (wrong belief) out of the 24 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 22nd nature is present due to the destruction of samyagmithyatva (mixed belief) out of the 23 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 21st nature is present due to the destruction of samyaktva (right belief) out of the 22 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 13th nature is present due to the destruction of the eight madhyama kshaya (intermediate passions) which are apratyakhyana (non-rejection) and pratyakhyana (rejection) out of the 21 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 12th nature is present due to the destruction of one of the two vedas (knowledge) - strived (female) or napumsakaved (neuter) out of the 13 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 11th nature is present due to the destruction of the remaining one of the two vedas (knowledge) - strived (female) or napumsakaved (neuter) out of the 12 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 5th nature is present due to the destruction of the six nokshaya (minor passions) - hasya (laughter), etc. out of the 11 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 4th nature is present due to the destruction of purushaved (male knowledge) out of the 5 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 3rd nature is present due to the destruction of sanjvalan krodha (intense anger) out of the 4 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 2nd nature is present due to the destruction of sanjvalan mana (intense pride) out of the 3 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where the 1st nature is present due to the destruction of sanjvalan maya (intense delusion) out of the 2 natures.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where badar lobha (gross greed) is present due to the destruction of sanjvalan maya (intense delusion) out of the 1st nature.
* **Sattva sthana** is also a state of being where sukshma lobha (subtle greed) is present due to the destruction of badar lobha (gross greed).
Badar lobha and sukshma lobha are both forms of the same lobha (greed) nature, therefore they are not counted as separate states. This is why there are only 15 sattva sthana.
