When the number of karmas is reduced from 104 in the fourth *guna-sthana* to 87 in the fifth *guna-sthana*, it is considered that the 87 karmas arise in the fifth *guna-sthana*.
The four *kṣayās* (attachments) of *apratyākhāṇa*, *āvaraṇa*, *kaṣāya*, and *caturṣka* arise until the fourth *guna-sthana*. As long as these four *kṣayās* arise, the beings cannot attain the *guna-sthānas* of *deśavirat* and beyond.
The fifth *guna-sthana* is possible for *tiryac* (animals), and the *guna-sthānas* from the fifth onwards are only possible for humans, not for gods or hell beings. Even humans can only attain these *guna-sthānas* after the age of eight, not before. Therefore, the *ānupūrvī* karma arises in the soul when it is about to take on a body related to *parabhāva* (the state of being a god or hell being) through *vakragati* (the path of karma). However, it is not possible for beings to attain the fifth or higher *guna-sthānas* at the time of the arising of any *ānupūrvī* karma. Therefore, it is considered that their *udayavicchedha* (cessation of arising) occurs at the end of the fourth *guna-sthana*.
The *ānupūrvīs* of hell beings and gods, these two *ānupūrvīs*, also do not arise in the fifth *guna-sthana*. These two are mentioned in the *gāthā* (verse) under the term "**viuvatt**" in the *vaikriṣa-aṣṭaka* (eight *vaikriṣa* karmas). The names and numbers of these eight karmas are as follows:
(1) *vaikriya-śarīra*, (2) *vaikriya-aṅgopāṅga*, (3) *devāyu*, (4) *devagati*, (5) *devānupūrvī*, (6) *narakāyu*, (7) *narakagati*, and (8) *narakānupūrvī*.
Of these eight karmas, *devāyu* and *devagati* arise in gods, and *narakāyu* and *narakagati* arise in hell beings. The *vaikriya-śarīra* and *vaikriya-aṅgopāṅga* karmas arise in both gods and hell beings. However, it has already been said that gods and hell beings do not have the fifth or higher *guna-sthānas*. And regarding the *ānupūrvīs*, it has also been explained...
