## Gommatasara Karmakanda - 525
If a person binds 30 types of karmas in the past and then binds 29 types of karmas, this is called **alpatarbandha** (lesser binding). Here, if a person binds one **bhang** (fragment) of the 30th type of karma and then binds all **bhangs** of the 29 types of karmas, how many **bhangs** will they bind in total, considering that the 30th type of karma has 4640 **bhangs**?
Using the **trairasika** (rule of three) method, the **pramanarashi** (base quantity) is one **bhang** of the 30th type of karma. The **falarashi** (result quantity) is the sum of **bhangs** of the 29 types of karmas, which are 9248 for the 29th type, 9 for the 28th type, 32 for the 26th type, 70 for the 25th type, and 11 for the 23rd type. Adding these together, we get 9248 + 9 + 32 + 70 + 11 = 9370 as the **falarashi**. The **ichcharashi** (desired quantity) is 4640 **bhangs** of the 30th type.
Multiplying the **falarashi** by the **ichcharashi** and dividing by the **pramanarashi**, we get (9370 x 4640) / 1 = 4,34,76,800 **bhangs** of the 30th type related to **alpatarbandha**.
If a person binds 29 types of karmas in the past and then binds 28 types of karmas, this is called **alpatarbandha**. Here, if a person binds one **bhang** of the 29th type of karma and then binds all **bhangs** of the 28 types of karmas, how many **bhangs** will they bind in total, considering that the 29th type of karma has 9248 **bhangs**?
Using the **trairasika** method, the **pramanarashi** is one **bhang** of the 29th type of karma. The **falarashi** is the sum of **bhangs** of the 28 types of karmas, which are 9 for the 28th type, 32 for the 26th type, 70 for the 25th type, and 11 for the 23rd type. Adding these together, we get 9 + 32 + 70 + 11 = 122 as the **falarashi**. The **ichcharashi** is 9248 **bhangs** of the 29th type.
Multiplying the **falarashi** by the **ichcharashi** and dividing by the **pramanarashi**, we get (122 x 9248) / 1 = 11,28,256 **bhangs** of the 29th type related to **alpatarbandha**.
If a person binds one **bhang** of the 28th type of karma and then binds all **bhangs** of the 26 types of karmas, this is called **alpatarbandha**. Here, if a person binds one **bhang** of the 28th type of karma and then binds all **bhangs** of the 26 types of karmas, how many **bhangs** will they bind in total, considering that the 28th type of karma has 9 **bhangs**?
Using the **trairasika** method, the **pramanarashi** is one **bhang** of the 28th type of karma. The **falarashi** is the sum of **bhangs** of the 26 types of karmas, which are 32 for the 26th type, 70 for the 25th type, and 11 for the 23rd type. Adding these together, we get 32 + 70 + 11 = 113 as the **falarashi**. The **ichcharashi** is 9 **bhangs** of the 28th type.
Multiplying the **falarashi** by the **ichcharashi** and dividing by the **pramanarashi**, we get (113 x 9) / 1 = 1017 **bhangs** of the 28th type related to **alpatarbandha**.
If a person binds 26 types of karmas in the past and then binds 25 and 23 types of karmas, this is called **alpatarbandha**. Here, if a person binds one **bhang** of the 26th type of karma and then binds all **bhangs** of the 25 and 23 types of karmas, how many **bhangs** will they bind in total, considering that the 26th type of karma has 32 **bhangs**?
Using the **trairasika** method, the **pramanarashi** is one **bhang** of the 26th type of karma. The **falarashi** is the sum of **bhangs** of the 25 and 23 types of karmas, which are 70 for the 25th type and 11 for the 23rd type. The **ichcharashi** is 32 **bhangs** of the 26th type.
