Gommatasara Karmakanda - 614
**Regarding the Bond, Arising and Being States in the Veda and Kshaya Margana**
**Stri Veda**
**Meaning:** In the Veda and Kshaya Margana, the Bond State is all 21 natural states, starting from the first, and the Arising State is 9. However, in the Stri and Purusha Veda, there are not 24 natural Arising States, because this state is found only in the one-sense being. The Being State is 93, starting from the first, and there are 11 natural states. However, in the Stri and Napumsaka Veda, there are not 80 and 78 natural Being States, because the Tirthankara natural being ascends the Kshapaka series only with the Purusha Veda.
