## Sutra Karma Granth 16
This is only the case in the lower four Gunasthanas, not in the higher ones. Therefore, in the fourth Gunasthana, there cannot be any binding of Tiryanchayu for the Naraka beings. Thus, since there is no binding of Naraka, Deva, and Tiryanchayu, only Manushyayu remains. And, since the principle of non-binding of the Parbhava-related Ayus in the third Misra Gunasthana is established, the Naraka beings in the fourth Gunasthana can bind Manushyayu.
In this way, after explaining the binding ownership in relation to the Gunasthanas in the Naraka Gati, we now explain the binding ownership of the Narakas residing in the Naraka Bhumi.
Ratna Prabha, Sharkara Prabha, Valuka Prabha, Pank Prabha, Dhum Prabha, Tamah Prabha, and Maha Tamah Prabha - these are the seven Naraka Bhumi. These Bhumi are situated on Ghanaambu, Vata, and Akasha. They are situated one below the other, with the lower ones being more extensive.
In these seven Narakas, the binding ownership of the Naraka beings in Ratna Prabha, Sharkara Prabha, and Valuka Prabha should be considered the same as the binding ownership mentioned in relation to the four Gunasthanas in general. That is, just as in the Naraka Gati, the binding of 100, 66, 70, and 72 Prakruti is considered in the first, second, third, and fourth Gunasthanas respectively, similarly, the binding ownership of the Karma Prakruti in their respective Gunasthanas should be understood for the Naraka beings residing in Ratna Prabha, Sharkara Prabha, and Valuka Prabha.
Although the plural word 'Raisu' in the verse should have included all seven Narakas, including Ratna Prabha, etc., the reason for including only the first, second, and third Narakas here is:
1. Ratna Sharkara Baluka Pank Dhum Tamo Maha Tamo Prabha Bhumiyo Ghanaambu Vata Akasha Pratiṣṭhāḥ Sapta Adho Adha Prithutarāḥ.
