**1. General Differences between the Paths of the Vedas and the Path of Conduct:**
The three common differences between the paths of the Vedas and the Path of Conduct are: anger, pride, deceit, and greed. Of these, anger, pride, and deceit are the 120 binding natures. There are nine stages of qualities, starting from false belief and ending with non-obstruction. According to the above mantra, each stage of quality has 120 binding natures.
**2. The Fourth General Difference in the Path of Conduct: Greed:**
The fourth general difference in the Path of Conduct, greed, has 120 binding natures. There are ten stages of qualities, starting from false belief and ending with subtle perception. The ownership of these binding natures should be understood as mentioned above.
The four infinite-binding passions (anger, pride, deceit, and greed) are found in the first two stages of qualities. The Tirthankara and the Aharaka cannot be bound by these passions because they have renounced the appropriate nature, and the binding of the Aharaka is dependent on the community. However, the infinite-binding passions do not have right faith or right conduct. Therefore, when these three natures are reduced, there are 117 binding natures remaining, and the number of binding natures in the stages of qualities is reduced to 117 in the first stage and 101 in the second stage.
The four passions of the non-returning covering (anger, pride, deceit, and greed) exist from the beginning until the stage of the holder of the four qualities. Therefore, there are four stages of qualities in this passion. Even with the presence of this passion, the Tirthankara can be bound due to right faith, but the Aharaka cannot be bound due to the absence of complete renunciation of conduct. Therefore, since the Aharaka cannot be bound, there are 118 binding natures remaining, and the number of binding natures in the stages of qualities is reduced to 117, 101, 74, and 77 in the first four stages of qualities, respectively.
The four passions of the rejecting covering (anger, pride, deceit, and greed) have one-sided conduct, and therefore there are five stages of qualities in this passion. The Tirthankara can be bound by this passion, but the Aharaka cannot be bound. Therefore, there are 118 binding natures remaining, and the number of binding natures in the stages of qualities is reduced to 117, 101, 74, 77, and 67 in the first five stages of qualities, respectively.
