## Gommatasara Karmakanda - 796
**Special Note:** This is explained using numerical representation.
There are 16 types of **Sahaani** (combinations) for the number of **Aayukarma** (life-span karma) states, **Tappalya** (duration of karma) and **Pramaan** (measure of karma). There are 22 **Sahaani** for the countless number of **Adhyavasaya** (determinations) that are suitable for the **Jghanya** (lowest) state. There are 4 **Sahaani** for the countless number of **Aavali** (series) in the second and subsequent states.
There is also a similarity between the **Adhyavasaya** that are the cause of bondage in the lower states and the **Adhyavasaya** that are the cause of bondage in the higher states, in relation to different beings. Therefore, this **Anukrusti** (replication) method is possible. This similarity between the **Adhyavasaya** that are the cause of bondage in the higher and lower states is called **Anukrusti**. Therefore, the **Pramaan** (measure) of the **Anukrusti** series is 4 in the numerical representation.
The **Rachaana** (structure) of the states should be understood as **Anukrusti** structure, which is similar to the structure of the individual states. In the **Anukrusti** of the **Jghanya** (lowest) state, the **Pramaan** (measure) of **Chaya** (selection) is 1 and the **Chaya** sum is 6. Subtracting this **Chaya** sum (6) from the **Dravya** (substance) related to the first state (22), we get 16 (22-6). Dividing this by the **Anukrusti** series (4), we get 4 (16:4). This is the **Khand** (section) of the **Jghanya** (lowest) **Anukrusti** in the **Jghanya** (lowest) state.
From here onwards, the **Utkrushta** (superior) **Khand** (section) should be understood as having one more **Chaya** (selection) each. This means that the **Pramaan** (measure) of the second, third and fourth **Khand** (sections) is 5, 6 and 7 respectively. The sum of all four **Khand** (sections) is 22 (4+5+6+7).
In the second state, there are 88 **Adhyavasaya** (determinations), which is four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22). Separating one part (22) from this, we give 5, 6 and 7 to the first, second and third **Anukrusti** **Khand** (sections) respectively. The remaining 4 and the three times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (66) are given to the **Utkrushta** (superior) (fourth) **Khand** (section). This makes the **Dravya** (substance) in the last **Khand** (section) 70 (66+4).
In the third state, there are 352 **Adhyavasaya** (determinations), which is four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) twice (22x4=88x4=352). Separating one part (88) from 352, which is four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22), we give the remaining three times the four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (264) to the last (fourth) **Khand** (section). From the separated four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (88), we separate 22 and give the remaining three times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (66) to the penultimate **Khand** (section) (third **Khand**). We keep the separated 22 and add 4 and 5 to the 66 and 264 of the third and fourth **Khand** (sections) respectively, from the separated 22, and give 6 and 7 to the first and second **Khand** (sections). This makes the **Dravya** (substance) in the four **Khand** (sections) 6, 7, 70 and 269 respectively.
In the fourth state, there is 1408 **Dravya** (substance), which is four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) three times (22x4=88x4=352x4=1408). Separating two times the four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (352) from this, we give three times the two times the four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (1056) to the fourth **Khand** (section). We keep the separated two times the four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (352). From this, we separate four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (88) and give the remaining three times the four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (264) to the penultimate **Khand** (section) (third **Khand**). We keep the separated four times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (88). From this, we separate 22 and give the remaining three times the **Dravya** (substance) (22) (66) to the second **Khand** (section). We keep the separated 22 and add 7 to the first **Khand** (section) and 4, 5 and 6 to the second, third and fourth **Khand** (sections) respectively. This makes the total **Dravya** (substance) in the four **Khand** (sections) 7, 70, 269 and 1062 respectively.
Following this same pattern, we can calculate the **Dravya** (substance) for the fifth, sixth, and subsequent states.
