## 62
Except for the four *kṣayās* (passions) - anger, pride, deceit, and greed - the remaining 63 *prakṛtis* (natural tendencies) are considered to be capable of binding in the sixth *guṇasthāna* (stage of spiritual development).
Having explained the number of *bandha-yoga* (binding) *prakṛtis* in the fourth, fifth, and sixth *guṇasthāna*, we now proceed to explain the number, names, and characteristics of the *bandha-yoga* *prakṛtis* in the seventh *guṇasthāna*, the *apramatta* (non-negligent) stage, in the next two verses.
**Verse 7:**
*Tevaṭṭhi patte soga arai adhirayuga ajaśa assāyam. Bucclijja chhacca satta ba ne i surajam jaya niṭṭham.*
**Verse 8:**
*Guṇasatṭi appamatte suraubandhaṁ tu jaḍa ihāgacche. Agraha aṭṭhāvaṇṇā jaṁ āhāragam bandhe.*
**Meaning of the Verses:**
The binding of the remaining 63 *prakṛtis* occurs in the *apramatta-samyata* (non-negligent and controlled) *guṇasthāna*. The binding of the six *prakṛtis* - sorrow, aversion, instability, ill-fame, and the *asātavēdaniya* (unbearable) - is severed at the end of the sixth *guṇasthāna*. The binding of the *āhārakadvika* (food-related) *prakṛtis* occurs in the *apramatta-samyata* *guṇasthāna*, resulting in the binding of 56 *prakṛtis*. If a being begins the binding of the *devāyu* (divine) *prakṛtis* in the sixth *guṇasthāna* and completes it in the same *guṇasthāna*, then, in comparison, the binding of the six *prakṛtis* - aversion, etc. - and the *devāyu* - a total of seven *prakṛtis* - is severed, resulting in the binding of 58 *prakṛtis*.
**Special Meaning:**
The verses explain the number of *bandha-yoga* *prakṛtis* in the seventh *apramatta-samyata* *guṇasthāna*. They state that out of the 63 *prakṛtis* capable of binding in the sixth *guṇasthāna*, the binding of the six *prakṛtis* - sorrow, aversion, instability, ill-fame, and the *asātavēdaniya* - is severed...
