## Third Karma-Pranya
27
Having described the bondage of karma-prakritis in the hell-realm, in the first and second guna-sthana, and of the hell-beings, we now proceed to describe the bondage of karma-prakritis in the third and fourth guna-sthana, and of the hell-beings in the Ratna-prabha and other realms, in the following verse:
5
**Verse Meaning:** In the mixed guna-sthana, there is bondage of seventy karma-prakritis, excluding the twenty-six prakritis of the Ananta-anubandhi Chatushk, etc. Adding the Tirthankara name and human lifespan to these, there is bondage of seventy-two prakritis in the Samyak-tva guna-sthana. Similarly, this general method of bondage in the hell-realm should be understood in the four guna-sthana of the hell-beings in the three hell-realms of Ratna-prabha, etc. And in the Panka-prabha and other hells, the remaining general method of bondage, excluding the Tirthankara name-karma, should be understood as before.
**Special Meaning:** After describing the bondage of karma-prakritis in the first and second guna-sthana in the hell-realm, this verse describes the bondage of karma-prakritis in the third and fourth guna-sthana, and of the hell-beings in the six hell-realms of Ratna-prabha, etc.
The hell-beings in the mixed guna-sthana have bondage of 70 karma-prakritis. Because the Ananta-anubandhi Chatushk, Madhyama Sansthana Chatushk, Madhyama Sanhanan Chatushk, Ashubha Vihayoga-ti, Nica-gotra, Stri-veda, Dur-bhag, Duh-svara, Anadeya Sthan-trik, Udyota, and Niyantrik, these 25 prakritis do not have bondage in the mixed guna-sthana due to the absence of the arising of Ananta-anubandhi. The arising of Ananta-anubandhi kshaya occurs until the first and second guna-sthana, not in the third and subsequent guna-sthana. At the end of the second guna-sthana, the Ananta-anubandhi kshaya is disjoined or destroyed.
