## Second Karma
**63**
At the end of the sixth *guna-sthana*, 57 *prakritis* should be bound in the seventh *guna-sthana*. However, in this *guna-sthana*, two *prakritis* - *aaharaka-sharira* (the body of the *aaharaka*) and *aaharaka-angopaanga* (the limbs of the *aaharaka*) - are also eligible for binding, making a total of 56 *prakritis* eligible for binding. But those beings who achieve the seventh *guna-sthana* after severing the bond of *deva-ayu* in the sixth *guna-sthana* itself, have 58 *prakritis* considered eligible for binding in the seventh *guna-sthana*.
The reason for this difference is that there are two types of beings who attain the seventh *guna-sthana*:
(1) Those who begin the *desh-yuka* in the sixth *guna-sthana* and attain the seventh *guna-sthana* without ending it in the same *guna-sthana*, and sever the bond of *deva-ayu* in the seventh *guna-sthana*.
(2) Those who begin and sever the bond of *deva-ayu* both in the sixth *guna-sthana* itself, and then attain the seventh *guna-sthana*.
Of these two types of beings, the first type sever the bond of six *prakritis* - *shoka* (sorrow), *arati* (disgust), *asthiranama* (unstable name), *ashubhanam* (inauspicious name), *arrata* (unsteadiness), and *asataavedaniya* (unpleasant) - at the end of the sixth *guna-sthana* before attaining the seventh *guna-sthana*. Therefore, compared to these beings, 57 *prakritis* should be eligible for binding in the seventh *guna-sthana* after subtracting the six *prakritis* of *arati*, *shoka*, etc. from the 63 *prakritis* eligible for binding in the sixth *guna-sthana*. However, since the emergence of *aaharaka-sharira* and *aaharaka-angopaanga* occurs in the seventh *guna-sthana*, their binding also occurs in the seventh *guna-sthana*. Therefore, adding these two *prakritis* to the 57 *prakritis*, there are 59 *prakritis* eligible for binding in the seventh *guna-sthana*.
