There are three karmic states. While many Acharyas believe that there are more Mithyatva-mohaniya pudgalas in the mixed karmic state, leading to more ignorance and less knowledge, and more Samyaktava-mohaniya pudgalas, leading to more knowledge and less ignorance, they still acknowledge a trace of knowledge in the mixed karmic state. Therefore, in the state of ignorance, there are only the first two karmic states. (This statement is made in the commentary of the Jina's teachings.) Thus, according to the authors of the karmic texts, there are two or three karmic states.
The bondage of the state of ignorance in the path of knowledge is explained here. The bondage of the remaining five types of knowledge, namely, Matijnana, etc., will be explained later. Now, we will explain the bondage of the two types of Darshan, namely, Chakshu Darshan and Achakshu Darshan, in the path of Darshan.

In both Chakshu Darshan and Achakshu Darshan, there are twelve karmic states. This is because both are क्षायोपशमिक (kshayopaśamika) states, and क्षायोपशमिक states exist up to the twelfth karmic state. Therefore, their bondage is the same in general and in each karmic state. That is, just as the bondage is explained as 120 in general and 117 in the first karmic state, and so on, up to the twelfth karmic state, similarly, the bondage should be understood in the Chakshu Darshan and Achakshu Darshan paths.
As is known, the Charitra (conduct) is present in the last four karmic states. Therefore, there are four karmic states from the eleventh to the fourteenth. In the fourteenth karmic state, there is no bondage due to the absence of Yoga. However, in the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth karmic states, there is bondage due to the presence of Yoga. Therefore, only one nature, namely, the Saataavedaniya, is bound due to Yoga. Therefore, in this Charitra, one should understand the ownership of this nature in general and in particular.
