## Gommatasara Karmakanda - 712
**Note:** In the case of a single living being, there is only a *parinaamik* (resultant) consciousness, not a *bhavyatva* (potential) consciousness. Therefore, it seems that *parinaamik-parinaamik* (resultant-resultant) *swasanyogi* (self-associated) *bhang* (destruction) does not occur. However, it becomes *swasanyogi* *bhang* along with existence, etc. Now, the types of *uttarbhavas* (subsequent states) are explained in another way.
**823:**
*Uttarbhanga* (destruction of subsequent states) is of two types: *thanagada* (place-based) and *padagada* (word-based).
*Sagogena ya bhanganayanam nasthiti niddi* (The destruction of the group of states that are present in a single time period of a living being, in relation to their place, is *thanagada* *bhang*. And the destruction of the group of states that are present in a single time period of a living being, in relation to their names or individual words, is *padagada* *bhang*.)
**Explanation:** Since a living being cannot have two different places at the same time, there is no *swasanyogi* *bhang* in *thanagada* *bhang*.
Now, the place of states in relation to *gunasthan* (stages of spiritual progress) and the number of states found in them are explained in three verses.
**824:**
*Micchaduge missatiye, pamattasatte ya missthanaani. Tiga duga chauro ekvam, thanam savvatha odayigam.* (In the case of *micchaduga* (wrong conduct), there are three places. In the case of *pamattasatta* (wrong faith), there are two places. In the case of *tiga* (three), *duga* (two), *chauro* (four), and *ekvam* (one), the place is *odayigam* (pervasive) everywhere.)
**Question:** In the *Gommatasara Karmakanda*, it is mentioned that there are five states. How many states can a living being have at one time? Can there be only one *odayik* (pervasive) state? Is it possible that there are no *parinaamik* (resultant) or *kshayopamik* (subduing) states, and only an *odayik* state? What is the meaning of verse 824?
**Answer:** A living being can have a minimum of three states at the same time: 1. *parinaamik*, 2. *kshayopasamik*, 3. *odayik*. A living being can have a maximum of five states at the same time: *aupasamik* (subduing), *kshayik* (destroying), *kshayopasamik*, *odayik*, *parinaamik*.
When a *kshayik* (destroying) *samyagdrsti* (right faith) living being in the *upshantamoha* (subdued delusion) *gunasthan* (stage of spiritual progress) subdues *charitramoha* (delusion of conduct), there is an *aupasamik* state in relation to *charitramoha*. There is a *kshayik* state in relation to *darshanamoha* (delusion of perception). There is a *kshayopasamik* state in relation to *jnana-darshan-virya* (knowledge, perception, and energy). There is an *odayik* state in relation to *gati-jati* (motion and birth), etc. And there is a *parinaamik* state in relation to *jivattva* (living beingness). In this way, a living being can have all five states at the same time.
*Gati-jati*, etc., arise until the end of the fourteenth *gunasthan*. Therefore, the *odayik* state is present in all *gunasthanas*. The *chetana* (conscious) *jivattva* *parinaamik* state is always present in both worldly and liberated living beings. However, the *ashuddha* (impure) *parinaamik* state of *ayu* (life span), etc., *pran* (breath), etc., is present only until the fourteenth *gunasthan*. Liberated living beings do not have *ayu*, etc., *pran*. The *kshayopasamik* state in relation to *jnana* (knowledge), *darshan* (perception), and *virya* (energy) is present until the twelfth *gunasthan* of *kshinamoha* (diminished delusion). Living beings who do not have *upsham* (subduing) or *kshayik* *samyagdarshan* (right faith) have only three states: *odayik*, *kshayopasamik*, and *parinaamik*.
