## Chapter Four of the Kamm Granth
There are eleven **Gunasthanas** (stages of spiritual progress) in **Aabhi** (the state of being a Jain). In **Mithyatva-Trika** (the three aspects of false belief: **Mithyadristi**, **Saasvadan**, and **Mishrashakti**), **Deshaviriti** (renunciation of worldly attachments), and **Sukshma Samparaya Charitra** (subtle conduct), each has its own unique **Gunasthan**. In **Yoga** and **Shuklaleshyamargna**, there are thirteen **Gunasthanas**. || 22 ||
**Aharak** (the state of being a Jain who consumes food) and **Bhavarth** (the meaning of the text) - In **Upsham Samyaktv** (the state of being a Jain who has attained partial liberation), there are eight **Gunasthanas**. Of these, the first four **Gunasthanas** are attained when one achieves **Granthi-Mev-Janaya Pratham Samyaktv** (the first stage of liberation), and the last four **Gunasthanas** are attained when one enters the **Upsham Shreni** (the stage of partial liberation).
**Ved Samyaktv** (the state of being a Jain who has attained complete liberation) occurs only when **Sammohaniya** (the subtle karmas that hinder liberation) arises. **Samyaktvamohaniya** (the karmas that hinder liberation) arises until the beginning of the **Shreni** (the stage of liberation) {until the seventh **Gunasthan**}. Therefore, in **Vedak Samyaktv**, only the fourth to the eighth **Gunasthanas** should be considered.
In the fourth and fifth **Gunasthanas** onwards, **Kshayik Samyaktv** (the state of being a Jain who has attained complete liberation) is attained, which remains for the **Sava** (the soul). This is why the fourth to the eleventh **Gunasthanas** are mentioned in **Kshayik Samyaktv**.

The first **Gunasthan** is **Mithyaswaroop** (the state of false belief), the third is **Mishra Drishti** (the state of mixed belief), and the fifth is **Sukshma Samparaya Charitra** (the state of subtle conduct). This is why each **Gunasthan** is mentioned in **Sukshma Samparaya**.
There are thirteen **Gunasthanas** in the six **Margna** (paths) of **Yoga**, **Aharak**, and **Shuklaleshya**; because at the fourteenth **Gunasthan**, there is no **Yoga** of any kind, no food is consumed, and **Leshya** (the subtle karmas that hinder liberation) is not possible.
The mention of thirteen **Gunasthanas** in **Yoga** refers to the general **Yogas** like **Manoyoga** (mental yoga) etc.
The second is **Saasvadan** (the state of enjoying the senses), the third is **Bhavaroop** (the state of being in the form of emotions), the fourth is **Deshaviriti** (the state of renunciation of worldly attachments), and the tenth is **Mithyatva Trika** (the three aspects of false belief), **Beshaviriti** (the state of renunciation of worldly attachments), and...
