## Firmstava (5) Apurva Sthitibandha
Apurva Sthitibandha is the binding of karmas with extremely minimal presence, compared to before.
Although Sthitighāt, etc., these five things also occur in the previous Gunasthanas, they are unique in the eighth Gunasthāna. Because the purity of the Adhyavāsayas in the previous Gunasthanas is less than their increase in the eighth Gunasthāna. In the previous Gunasthanas, there is very little presence and very little Rasaghāt, but in the eighth Gunasthāna, there is more presence and more Rasaghāt. Similarly, in the previous Gunasthanas, the time limit of the Gunashreni is more, and the Dalikas whose Gunashreni (creation or establishment) is done are less, and in the eighth Gunasthāna, there are many more Dalikas eligible for Gunashreni, but the time limit is very less. Compared to the previous Gunasthanas, there is a lot of Gunasamkraman of karmas. Therefore, it is unique, and in the eighth Gunasthāna, karmas with such minimal presence are bound, which are never bound in the previous Gunasthanas with such minimal presence.
Thus, due to the unique arrangement of Sthitighāt, etc., in this Gunasthāna, this Gunasthāna is called Apurvakarana.
In this eighth Gunasthāna, the unique Yogirupa state of the soul begins. That is, to produce the unique fruit of Aupashmika or Kshayika Bhavarupa, it is necessary to subdue or destroy the Charitramōhaniyakarma, and to do that, three Karana have to be done, namely Yathapravrittikarana, Apurvakarana, and Anivrittikarana. Among them, the seventh Gunasthāna is Yathapravrittikarana, the eighth Gunasthāna is Apurvakarana, and the ninth Gunasthāna is Anivrittikarana.
