## Bandhasvamitva
Therefore, the bondage of the aforementioned 25 **Prakritis** which bind the **Anantanu bandhi** does not occur in the third **Gunasthan** (state of virtue). And no being residing in the **Mishra Gunasthan** (mixed state of virtue) performs the bondage of **Ayukarma** (life-span karma). Therefore, **Manushyayu** (human life-span) cannot occur.
Hence, from the 96 **Prakritis** that bind the **Naraka** (hell) beings residing in the second **Gunasthan**, the aforementioned 25 **Prakritis** like **Anantanu bandhi** **Kshaya Chatushk** (fourfold passions) and **Manushyayu**, totaling 26 **Prakritis**, should be deducted. This leaves 70 **Prakritis** for the **Naraka** beings residing in the **Mishra Gunasthan**.
However, the **Naraka** beings residing in the fourth **Gunasthan** (state of perfect vision) called **Avirat Samyagdrishti**, due to their **Samyaktva** (right faith), can perform the bondage of **Tirthankara Namakarma** (karma that leads to becoming a Tirthankara). This is because the bondage of **Tirthankara Namakarma** occurs only in the presence of **Samyaktva**. And due to the rule that **Ayukarma** does not bind beings residing in the **Mishra Gunasthan**, the **Manushyayu** that was not bound in the **Mishra Gunasthan** gets bound in the fourth **Gunasthan**. This adds two **Prakritis** - **Tirthankara Namakarma** and **Manushyayu** - to the 70 **Prakritis** that bind beings in the **Mishra Gunasthan**. Therefore, the **Naraka** beings residing in the fourth **Gunasthan** bind 72 **Prakritis**.
The reason why the **Naraka** beings residing in the fourth **Gunasthan** do not bind **Manushyayu** is that they cannot bind the life-span of **Naraka** again, nor can they bind the life-span of **Deva** (heaven). Therefore, these two **Ayukarma** **Prakritis** are not bound in **Naraka**. This has been indicated in the fourth **Gatha** (verse) before the phrase "**Surugunnisav**". The bondage of **Linyachayu** (life-span of a specific type of hell) occurs when **Anantanu bandhi** **Kshaya** arises. And the arising of **Anantanu bandhi** **Kshaya** occurs in the first and second **Gunasthan**.
