'Bandhai - Laddha-Attalabhanam' - The attainment of the Self (Atma) is achieved through Bandha (bondage) and other factors. 'Bandhadi Labdhatma - Labhanam - 'Kamman - Karmana' - The state of existence of the Karma (action) atoms, their position, harmony, presence, and being is called 'Thii-Sthitih' (state). Here, the word 'Bandha Adi' (bondage and others) includes 'Adi' (others) which implies 'Samkranam' (transition) and other factors. In other words, the Karma Pudgalas (action particles) that transform into a specific Karma form at the time of Bandha, remain attached to the Atma in that same Karma form. Similarly, these same Karma Pudgalas, leaving their previous form, transform into another Karma form and remain attached to the Atma. This state of existence is called 'Satta' (being). The first type of Satta is called 'Bandha Satta' (bondage being) and the second type is called 'Samkranam Satta' (transition being).

When the Pudgalaskandha (particle aggregate) becomes associated with the Atma due to Mithyatva (false belief) and other causes, it is then called 'Karma'. From that point onwards, the existence of that Karma is considered. For example, when the bondage of Narakagati (hell) occurs and it arises in the Udya (emergence) and remains until its Nirjara (destruction), the existence of the Narakagati Karma is considered. This is because the Karma Pudgalas have attained their form as Narakagati Karma through Bandha.
Perhaps, the Narakagati Karma may transition into the Tiyachgati Karma (animal realm). In this case, the Narakagati Karma, which had attained its form through Bandha, undergoes a transition into the Tiyachgati Karma. The Tiyachgati Karma attains its form through this transition and its existence continues. However, the existence of the Narakagati Karma, which originated from Bandha, is discontinued due to the transition. Similarly, the existence of Mithyatva (false belief) occurs in Bandha, and the existence of Samyaktava (right belief) and Mohaniya (delusion) and Misra Moh (mixed delusion) occurs in Samkranam (transition).
