## Gommatasar Karmakanda - 703
**Special Meaning:** A single **bhang** (fragment) and the **bhang** that are found in conjunction with it are called **sanyogi bhang** (conjoined fragments). There are two types of conjunctions (5): **swasanyog** (self-conjunction) and **parasanyog** (other-conjunction). When there is conjunction with one's own **uttarabhed** (sub-category), it is called **swasanyog**, such as the conjunction of **aupashamik samyaktv** (state of partial liberation) with **aupashamik charin** (one who is on the path of partial liberation) or the conjunction of **gati-rupa audayik-bhav** (state of arising in the form of motion) with another **jati-rupa audayik-bhav** (state of arising in the form of birth). When conjunction is said to be with a **bhed** (category) of another **bhav** (state), it is **parasanyogi**, such as the conjunction of a **bhed** of **aupashamik-bhav** with a **bhed** of **audayik-bhav** or the conjunction of **audayik** with **kshayik-bhav** (state of destruction). Now, the number of **bhang** in the **gunasthan** (stages of spiritual progress) in the form of **mula-bhav** (primary states) and **sw-par sanyog** (self and other conjunction) is stated:
**Mithyatve tichukke do suvi siddevi mula-bhaava hu.**
**Tig pan panagam chauro tig donni ya sambhava hoti.** || 821 ||
**Meaning:** In the three **gunasthan** of **mithyatva** (false belief), **sasadan** (attachment), and **misra** (mixed), there are 3-3 **mula-bhav**. In the four **gunasthan** of **asanyata** (non-restraint) and onwards, there are 5-5. In the four **gunasthan** related to the **upasham shreni** (stage of pacification), there are 5-5. In the **kshapka shreni** (stage of destruction) and **kshinak-path-gunasthan** (stage of diminishing karma), there are 4. In the **sanyogi** (conjoined) and **ayogi** (non-conjoined) **gunasthan**, there are 3-3. And in the **siddh** (liberated), there are 2 **mula-bhav**.
**Special Meaning:** In **mithyatva**, **sasadan**, and **misra** **gunasthan**, there are three **mula-bhav** each: **kshayopamik** (state of destruction and pacification), **audayik** (state of arising), and **parinamik** (state of transformation). From **asanyata** to **apramatta gunasthan** (stage of non-distraction) and from **apuurva-karan** (uncreated cause) to **upashanta-kshay-gunasthan** (stage of pacified karma), there are 5 **mula-bhav** in the **upasham shreni**. In the **kshapka shreni** and **kshinak-kshay-gunasthan**, there are four **mula-bhav** without **aupashamik-bhav** (state of partial liberation). In the **sanyogi** and **ayogi** **kevali-gunasthan** (stage of omniscience), there are three **mula-bhav** each: **audayik**, **kshayik**, and **parinamik**. And in the **siddh**, there are two **mula-bhav**: **kshayik** and **parinamik**.
