## Gommatasara Karmakanda-672
**Meaning:** In the case of *Aharakajiwas* (those who consume food), there are 56 *Bandhapratyayas* (binding karmic impressions) remaining after the elimination of *Karmankayayoga* (the combination of karmic matter and the soul). In the case of *Anaharakajiwas* (those who do not consume food), there are 43 *Bandhapratyayas* remaining after the elimination of 14 *Yogas* (stages of karmic bondage) without *Karmankayayoga*. Thus, Shri Jinendra Bhagwan has instructed the *Uttarapratyayas* (later karmic impressions) in the *Marganas* (paths of liberation).
**Next, to explain the characteristics of the *Pratyayas* (karmic impressions) in detail, Nemichandra Acharya himself states the following *Gathasutra* (verse) in this chapter:**
**Verse 791:**
*Avaraadinam Thanam Thanaphayara Payarakuda Va | Kudducharanabhangha Panchviha Honti Igisamaye ||*
**Meaning:** There are five types of *Pratyayas* at one time: *Jghanya* (inferior), *Madhyama* (intermediate), and *Utkrishtasthan* (superior) *Than* (place), *Thanaphayara* (types of place), *Kutaprakar* (types of *Kuta* - karmic matter), *Kutauchcharan* (pronunciation of *Kuta*), and *Bhang* (destruction).
**Further, the *Pratyayasthan* (places of karmic impressions) in the *Gunasthan* (stages of spiritual development) are as follows:**
**Verse 792:**
*Das Attaras Dasayam Sattar Nav Solansam Cha Donham Pi | Attha Ya Chaudas Panayam Sattiye Duiti Dugegamegamdo ||*
**Meaning:** The number of *Pratyayas* that occur in a single *Kala* (time period) for a single *Jiva* (soul) is called a *Than*. These *Than* are as follows in the *Gunasthan* starting with *Mithyadristi* (false belief):
* **Mithyadristi:** *Jghanya* *Than* - 10 *Pratyayas*, *Madhyama* *Than* - 11 to 17 *Pratyayas* (one *Pratyaya* more each time), and *Utkrisht* *Than* - 18 *Pratyayas*. In other words, in the *Mithyatva* *Gunasthan*, a *Jiva* can have a minimum of 10 *Pratyayas* at one time, a maximum of 18 *Pratyayas*, and any number in between.
* **Sasan* *Gunasthan:** *Jghanya* *Than* - 10 *Pratyayas*, *Madhyama* *Than* - 11 to 16 *Pratyayas* (one *Pratyaya* more each time), and *Utkrisht* *Than* - 17 *Pratyayas*.
* **Mishra* *Gunasthan:** *Jghanya* *Than* - 9 *Pratyayas*, *Madhyama* *Than* - 10 to 15 *Pratyayas* (one *Pratyaya* more each time), and *Utkrisht* *Than* - 16 *Pratyayas*.
* **Asanyata* *Gunasthan:** The same as *Mishra* *Gunasthan* due to the phrase " *Dvayorapi Cha* ".
* **Deshasanyata* *Gunasthan:** *Jghanya* *Than* - 8 *Pratyayas*, *Madhyama* *Than* - 9 to 13 *Pratyayas* (one *Pratyaya* more each time), and *Utkrisht* *Than* - 14 *Pratyayas*.
* **Pramatta, Apramatta, and Apurvakaran* *Gunasthan:** Each of these three *Gunasthan* has a *Jghanya* *Than* of 5 *Pratyayas*, a *Madhyama* *Than* of 6 *Pratyayas*, and an *Utkrisht* *Than* of 7 *Pratyayas*.
* **Anivrittikaran* *Gunasthan:** *Jghanya* *Than* - 2 *Pratyayas*, *Madhyama* *Than* - 3 *Pratyayas*, and *Utkrisht* *Than* - 4 *Pratyayas*.
**Notes:**
1. The 17 *Gathas* after *Gatha* 790, which describe the *Marganas* and *Bandhapratyayas*, are from the *Panchasangraha* (Prakrit) text, specifically *Shataka Adhikar* verses 84-100. They are quoted here due to the context of the discussion. This *Gatha* is also found in *Pra.Pan.San.Pu.* 113.
