## Bandhaswamitva
In mixed knowledge (Mishragyan), the amount of knowledge is greater and the amount of ignorance is less. Such beings with mixed knowledge can be counted among Shani beings. However, they are considered Ashani. From this perspective, in the first and second Gunasthanas, the being should be considered Ashani.
But when there is an excess of impurity in the vision, and the amount of ignorance is greater in mixed knowledge, and the amount of knowledge is less due to lack of purity, then that mixed knowledge is considered ignorance, and the mixed Shani beings are counted among ignorant beings. Therefore, at that time, the first, second, and third Gunasthanas should be considered ignorant.
The reason for both these situations is that when a being comes from the Mithyatva Gunasthan to the third Gunasthan, the Mithyatva element is more in the mixed vision, resulting in special impurity. And when it comes to the third Gunasthan after leaving Samyaktva, the Samyaktva element is more in the mixed vision, resulting in special purity. Therefore, two or three Gunasthanas are considered in the Agnanatrika.
Here, the difference of opinion regarding the consideration of two or three Gunasthanas in the Agnanatrika has been presented. The Karmagranthakars consider the Sasvadan as ignorance. In the first Gunasthan, due to the rise of Mithyatva Mohaniya, there is ignorance. And the rest, which is mixed, also has the rise of Mohaniya Karma. Since there is no understanding of the true nature there, many Acharyas consider it as ignorance. Because it is said in Panchasangrah that in the mixed, there is only ignorance mixed with knowledge, not pure knowledge. Here, knowledge is considered in relation to pure Samyaktva. If we consider the one with impure Samyaktva as Shani, then we will have to consider Sasvadan as Shani too. But this is not desirable for the Karmagranthakars, because in the Karmagranth, it is said that Sasvadan is ignorance. In this regard...
