## Second Karma Granth 105
Therefore, in the second and third Gunasthanas, except for the Tirthankara-nama karma, there can be the existence of 147 Prakṛtis.
**Doubt:** The Upshama श्रेणी does not bind to Naraka and Tiryanchayu, and without binding and arising, there is no existence of Ayukarma. Also, in the sixth Karma Granth, Ayukarma has been explained, and there, in the 10th and 11th Gunasthanas, the existence of Naraka and Tiryanchayu is not mentioned. Then how can the existence of 148 Prakṛtis be considered until the eleventh Gunasthana?
**Solution:** Although the existence of Naraka and Tiryanchayu does not decrease in the श्रेणी, still, a being can be expelled from the Upshama श्रेणी and touch all four gatis. Therefore, from the perspective of possible existence, here, Naraka and Vayu are not considered. The existence of 148 Prakṛtis is possible for those who have not destroyed Darshan, Moh, and Tak, and who have uninterrupted Samyagdristi, etc.
Thus, after defining existence and generally mentioning the Prakṛtis that are capable of existing from the first to the eleventh Gunasthana, in the following verses, the existence of Prakṛtis in the fourth and subsequent Gunasthanas is described in a different way.
**Verse 26:**
**Meaning:** In the four Gunasthanas of Apurva, etc., except for the six Prakṛtis of Ananta-anubandhi-chatushk, Naraka, and Tiryanchayu, if the sevenfold (Saptak) has been destroyed, then in the four Gunasthanas of Avirat Samyagdristi, etc., there is the existence of 141 Prakṛtis.
