Gommatasar Karmakanda-501
There are five binding places in the four right knowledges, namely, mati, shruta, avadhi, and manahparyaya. There are no binding places in kevalgyan and yathakyatsamyama. There are five binding places in samyamas like shrutagyan, but there are only four binding places in parihara-vishuddhi-samyama, without the last one.
**Explanation:**
There are five binding places in mati, shruta, avadhi, and manahparyaya knowledge, which are named karma, and they are 28, 29, 30, 31, and 1 in number. The three knowledges, mati, etc., are found in naraki, sanjeevi, manushya, and deva, who are both paryapta and nirvrittyaparyapta. Here, there are two binding places, one with 29 prakritis for naraki beings, including manushya-gati, and the other with 30 prakritis, including manushya-gati and tirthankara, in the three worlds of adi, etc. These two binding places are also found in the devas of Saudharma, etc. In the devas of bhavanatrik, there is only one binding place with 29 prakritis, including manushya-gati, and in the tiryancha-gati, there is one binding place with 28 prakritis, including deva-gati. In humans, there is one binding place with 28 prakritis, including deva-gati, and another with 29 prakritis, including deva-gati and tirthankara. There are also binding places with 30, 31, and 1 prakritis. In this way, the binding places in the three knowledges, mati, etc., are described. In the four knowledges, including manahparyaya, there are two binding places with 28 and 29 prakritis in the pramatta-gunasthan. There are two binding places with 28 and 29 prakritis in the aprmatta and apurvakaran-gunasthan, up to the sixth part, and four binding places with 30 prakritis, including deva-gati and aharak-dvik, and 31 prakritis, including deva-gati, tirthankara, and aharak-dvik. From the seventh part of the apurvakaran-gunasthan to the sukshmasamprayaya-gunasthan, there is one binding place, which is called yashaskirti. There is no binding of karma in kevalgyan. There are five binding places in samayik-chedopasthapanasamyama, like shrutagyan, but there are only four binding places in parihara-vishuddhi-samyama, without the last one.
In samayik-chedopasthapanasamyama, there are two binding places in the pramatta-gunasthan, one with 28 prakritis, including deva-gati, and the other with 29 prakritis, including deva-gati and tirthankara. There are four binding places in the aprmatta and apurvakaran-gunasthan, up to the sixth part, including the two mentioned above, and one with 30 prakritis, including deva-gati and aharak-dvik, and another with 31 prakritis, including tirthankara and aharak-dvik. From the seventh part of the apurvakaran-gunasthan to the anivritti-gunasthan, there is only one binding place with one prakriti. In parihara-vishuddhi-samyama, there are two binding places in the pramatta-gunasthan, like samayik-samyama, and four binding places in the aprmatta-gunasthan. There is no binding place with one prakriti here, because there is no shreni-aroha.
The last binding place is very subtle, like the karma of the desa-viradi. It is like the eye in the jugal, which is the same for all beings.
