Gommatasara Karmakanda - 570
**Verse 637**
High-caste (Uchchagotra) agitation is present in the Tejakaya and Vayukaya beings. Only low-caste (Nichogotra) sattva is present in them. And when these two are born in the one-sense, defective-sense, or all-sense Tiryanchas, then until the end of the moment of birth, only low-caste sattva is present. Afterwards, by binding the high-caste, both sattvas are obtained.
**Verse 638**
**Explanation:**
In relation to the Gunasthanas, the breaking of the Gotra Karma is as follows:
- In Mithyatva Gunasthana, there are five breaks, and in Sasadan Gunasthana, there are four breaks.
- In the Mixed, Unsymbolized, and Symbolic Yana stages, there are two breaks each.
- In the eight Gunasthanas up to the Syogi, there is one break each.
- In the A-Yogakevali, there are two breaks.
**Detailed Explanation:**
- In Mithyatva Gunasthana, there are five breaks:
- Binding and arising of low-caste sattva.
- Binding of low-caste and arising of high-caste sattva.
- Binding and arising of high-caste sattva.
- Binding of high-caste and arising of low-caste sattva.
- Binding and arising of low-caste sattva.
- In Sasadan Gunasthana, there are four breaks, excluding the last break related to Mithyatva Gunasthana, which is the binding, arising, and sattva of the low-caste. This is because Tejakaya and Vayukaya beings do not attain Sasadan Gunasthana. (Sasadan does not arise after death in Tejakaya and Vayukaya, and there is no agitation of the high-caste there.)
- In the Mixed, Unsymbolized, and Symbolic Gunasthanas, there are two breaks each:
- Binding and arising of high-caste sattva.
- Binding of high-caste and arising of low-caste sattva.
- In the five Gunasthanas from Pramat to Sukshma Samparaya, there is one break each:
- Binding and arising of high-caste sattva.
- In the Upshantak, Payakshi, and Kshayik Kshaya Gunasthanas, and the Syogi Kevali Gunasthana, there is one break each:
- Arising of high-caste sattva.
- In the A-Yogakevali Gunasthana, there are two breaks:
- Arising of high-caste sattva.
- Arising of high-caste sattva at the end of time.
