Gommatasara Karmakanda-498
**Special Note:** In one-sensed and multi-sensed beings, there are 5 bondage places, namely 23, 25, 26, 29, and 30 natural karmas. The same 5 bondage places exist in stationary beings. In five-sensed and human beings, there are 8 bondage places, namely 23, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 1. Similarly, in four types of mind-yogis, four types of speech-yogis, and generous-body yogis, these 8 bondage places should be known. In active and mixed-active body yogis, there are 4 natural bondage places, similar to the heavenly beings, namely 25, 26, 29, and 30. (Pra.Pan.Sa.Pu. 496-500)
**Verse 546:**
**Meaning:** In food-consuming and mixed-food-consuming body yogis, there are 2 natural places, namely 28 and 29. In the remaining karmic and mixed-generous body yogis, there are 6 places from the beginning. In the three Vedas, starting with the male, and in the four passions, starting with anger, all bondage places exist. In the path of knowledge, there are 6 bondage places from the beginning in the three types of wrong knowledge.
**Special Note:** In food-consuming and mixed-food-consuming body yogis, there is no place for heavenly beings and food-consuming beings, because their bondage is possible only in the non-negligent and non-previous-action-quality places, but food-consuming beings do not exist in the negligent-quality place. And in karmic and mixed-generous body yogis, including false-belief, there is no bondage of the 28th natural place in the animal-human beings, because according to the sutra "Karma is the cause of rebirth," there is no existence of the bondage of heavenly beings and hell beings in karmic and mixed-generous body yogis. In animal-human beings, including the place of the nourishing-quality, which is present in karmic body yogis, there are 2 bondage places, namely 29 and 30, without the remaining places, including the one-sensed, badar, subtle, sufficient, and insufficient, and the animal-five-sensed and human beings, including 23, 25, and 26, and 28, and the three types of multi-sensed, including 29 and 30. Here, according to the saying "There is no heavenly being in the wrong belief," there is no existence of the 28th natural place, including the heavenly beings. In uncontrolled human beings, including karmic body yogis, the 29th natural place, including heavenly beings and Tirthankaras, should also be known.
In the three Vedas and in the four passions, all bondage places exist. The special thing is that in the neuter Veda, the 2nd and 3rd natural places should be known up to the third hell. In the animal beings, including the neuter Veda, there are 23 natural places, including the one-sensed, badar, subtle, insufficient, 25 natural places, including the one-sensed, badar, subtle, sufficient, 25 natural places, including the sufficient, two-sensed, three-sensed, four-sensed, five-sensed animal-human beings, and 25 natural places, including the one-sensed, badar, sufficient, heat, and
