**Karmastava**
However, in the sixth guna-sthana, the liberation of the deva-ayu is achieved, and those who attain the seventh guna-sthana are considered to have 58 bound karmas in the seventh guna-sthana. This is because the liberation of the six prakritis (arati, shoka, etc.) and the deva-ayu, a total of seven prakritis, occurs at the end of the sixth guna-sthana. This leaves 56 prakritis out of the 63, which are combined with the aharak-dvik to form the 58 bound karmas in the seventh guna-sthana.
The essence of both statements is that those who attain the seventh guna-sthana without having initiated and completed the binding of the deva-ayu in the sixth guna-sthana, are considered to have 58 bound karmas in the seventh guna-sthana. This is in contrast to those who initiate and complete the binding of the prakritis and the deva-ayu in the sixth guna-sthana before attaining the seventh guna-sthana.
The calculation of the binding of the deva-ayu in the seventh guna-sthana implies that the deva-ayu binds only the pramatta (deluded) beings, but not the aprammatta (non-deluded) beings due to their highly purified and stable karmic results. Therefore, a being who has bound the deva-ayu in the sixth guna-sthana and has not liberated it in the same guna-sthana, but has attained the seventh guna-sthana due to its purified karmic results, and has liberated the deva-ayu in this guna-sthana, is considered to have bound the deva-ayu in the seventh guna-sthana. In this case, 56 prakritis are considered to be bound. However, the binding of the deva-ayu does not begin in the seventh guna-sthana.
After discussing the bound karmas in the seventh guna-sthana, we will now discuss the number and names of the bound karmas in the eighth apuurvakarana, ninth anivrittikarana, and tenth sukshmasampraaya guna-sthana in three verses.
