## The Difference in the Number of *Bandhasvamitva* (Binding Ownership) of 66 and 64 *Prakritis* (Principles)
The difference in the *Bandhasvamitva* of 66 and 64 *Prakritis* is also seen in ancient *Bandhasvamitva*. The following verses relate to this:
"A *Saana* (small) being, even if it is *Lolasa* (greedy) and *Martig* (prone to death), does not die. It is bound by the *Oghena* (flow of karma), *Bosusar* (the five senses), and *Panchinya* (the five senses) in the 13th *Sandhi* (stage)." (13)
"A *Saana* being, even if it is *Savilidi* (with a body) and *Sanu* (small), does not die. It is bound by the *Nar* (man), *Tirya* (animal), and *Agandha* (odorless) *Mayansaran* (the five senses) in the 24th *Sandhi*." (24)
Those who believe in 16 *Prakritis* believe that after the completion of the *Indriyaparyapti* (perfection of the senses), when the time for *Ayubandha* (binding of life) comes, the *Saasvadan* (enjoyment) feeling remains. Therefore, a one-sensed being, etc., can be bound in the *Saasvadan* *Gunasthan* (state of qualities) as a *Tiryanch* (animal) or a *Manudhya* (human).
However, the *Acharyas* (teachers) who believe in 64 *Prakritis* believe that the lifespan of a one-sensed being is 256 *Avali* (units of time). The lifespan of the next birth is bound in the third part of the lifespan of this birth after the lifespan of this birth has passed two-thirds of its way. In other words, the lifespan of the next birth is bound in the 171st *Avali* after 170 *Avali* of the 256 *Avali* lifespan of this birth has passed. The time for *Saasvadan* *Samyakd* (right knowledge) (six *Avali*) is already over. Even if we assume that the first three *Paryapti* (perfections) are completed in the *Saasvadan* state, *Ayubandha* is not possible. The *Audarik* (generous) *Mishn* (path) *Margna* (path) states that there are 64 *Prakritis* of binding. Therefore, the belief in 64 *Prakritis* of binding seems to be logical.
Shri *Jivavijayaji* and *Jayasomasuri* have also stated the same in their *Tave* (commentary) in support of this belief. *Gommatasar* *Karmakand* (the section on karma in the *Gommatasar* text) also supports this belief by *Namichandra* *Siddhantchakravarti*.
"The *Purinavar* (ancient ones) have said that the *Vigivigala* (those who have attained liberation) are *Tathushana* (those who have attained the state of being) and *Sasaai* (those who have attained the state of being). They have said that *Pajjati* (those who are born) are *Mavi* (those who are not liberated) and *Pavi* (those who are liberated) and *Iritirip* (those who are bound) and *Aaus* (those who are not bound)."
