## Third Karma Granth
The third Gunasthan does not exist in the state of *aparayaapt*. Therefore, in the first Gunasthan, 101, in the second 16, and in the fourth 72 *prakritis* are bound.
The emergence of *veb* occurs until the ninth Gunasthan. Therefore, one should understand according to the *bandhadhikar* as mentioned, and according to the binding of *prakritis* mentioned until the ninth Gunasthan.
In *kashayamargna*, the *anantaanubandhi* *kashay* emerges until the first and second Gunasthan. Therefore, in relation to the Gunasthan, the binding is the same as the binding mentioned in *bandhadhikar*, but instead of 120, there is a binding of 117, because this *kay* holder does not have *samyakkarma* and *charitra*, so there is no loss of *tirthankaranam* and *aaharadvik*.
The *apratyakhyanavaran* *kashay* emerges until the fourth Gunasthan, and during this *kashay*, *samyaktv* is possible, so the binding of *tirthankaranam* can occur. Therefore, there are 118 *prakritis* eligible for binding in general, and in the Gunasthan, one should understand 117, 101, 74, and 77 *prakritis* as per *bandhadhikar*.
The *pratyakhyanavaran* *kashay* emerges until the fifth Gunasthan. Therefore, there are five Gunasthan from the first to the fifth *lak*. While this *kashay* remains, *samyaktv* is possible, but since there is no *sarvavirati* *charitra*, there is no binding of *aaharadvik*, so there is a binding of 118 *prakritis* in general, and in the Gunasthan, there is a binding of 117, 101, 74, 77, and 67 *prakritis* respectively.
Now, further in the *gatha*, we will discuss the binding of the remaining *sanjwalan* *kashay* in *kashayamargna*, and the binding of *sanjam*, *gyan*, and *darshan* *margna*.
