## The Third Karma Granth: Bandhasvamitva
This Granth discusses the bondage of souls due to **Marganas** (karmic particles) in relation to **Payana** (the path of liberation). It is essential to study the second Karma Granth before understanding this one, as it deals with **Gunasthanas** (stages of spiritual evolution) and **Prakritibandha** (bondage to the material world), which are relevant to this discussion. This Granth explains how the bondage of a particular **Margana** is similar to the bondage of **Bandha-Dhikara** (karmic tendencies).
This Granth is named **Bandhasvamitva** because it explores the bondage of souls due to their **Margana**-induced capacity for **Prakritibandha**.
Thus ends the third Karma Granth, **Bandhasvamitva**, composed by Shri Devendrasuri.
The Third Karma Granth, **Bandhasvamitva**, is complete.
