**Karmastava**
- The four Gunasthanas (states of being) at the beginning are applicable to all beings in the four gatis (states of existence): Deva (gods), Manushya (humans), Tiryanch (animals), and Narak (hell beings).
The duration of this Gunasthan is from the shortest Antarmuhurt (a fraction of a moment) to the longest Deshonapurva Koti (a vast period of time).
(6) **Pramattasanyata Gunasthan** - Those beings who are completely free from sinful activities through proper conduct are called Sanyatas (ascetics). However, as long as they indulge in Pramada (negligence), they are called Pramattasanyatas, and their specific nature is called Pramattasanyata Gunasthan. Beings in this Gunasthan abstain from even the slightest of careless actions, to the extent that they do not even indulge in the aforementioned Mambasanumati (indulgence in the five senses). _Although the complete absence of Pratyakhyanavaran Kshaya (the covering of the soul that prevents complete restraint) leads to complete restraint in this Gunasthan, the presence of Pramada, which generates impurities in restraint due to the arising of Sanjwalan (passion) and other Kshayas (passions), is why it is called Pramattasanyata.
There are fifteen types of Pramada:
- Four Vikatha (stories of women, devotees, kings, and thieves).
- Four Kshayas (anger, pride, deceit, and greed).
- Five attachments to the objects of the senses (touch, taste, breath, sight, and hearing).
- Sleep and affection.
In this Gunasthan, the purity of qualities is more prominent than the renunciation of the world.
