**Karmagrantha Maga Char**
(4-5) - Leshya and Bandha in Gunasthanas.
**Chasu Sabba Seutigan. Igi Chasu Sukka Ayogi Allesa. Bandhass Miich Avir'ai, Kasayajo Gatti Ch Heu.** ||50||
**Shatsu Sarvastejas Tramekasmin Shatsu Shukla Ayogino Leshyaah. Sy Midhyatva Aviratika Krishna Ayoga Iti Chatvaro Hetavaah.** ||10||
**Meaning:**
In the first six Gunasthanas, there are six Leshyas. There are two opinions regarding the seventh Khaya Gunasthana. The first opinion states that there are six Leshyas in the first four Gunasthanas, while the second opinion states that there are six Leshyas in the first six Gunasthanas. The first opinion is found in Sangraha-Dva 1, Ga 30, Prachina Bandhaswamitva, Ga 40; Navina Bandhaswamitva, Ga 25; Sarvarthasiddhi, page 24; and Gommatasar-Jivakanda, Ga 703. The second opinion is found in Prachina Chaturtha Karmagrantha, Ga 73, and Maha. Both opinions are relatively acceptable, so there is no contradiction between them.
The first opinion implies that those with all six types of Dravya Leshyas attain the fourth Gunasthana, but only those with three auspicious Dravya Leshyas attain the fifth or sixth Gunasthana. Therefore, when considering Gunasthana attainment, six Leshyas should be considered up to the fourth Gunasthana, and only three in the fifth and sixth.
The second opinion implies that although the fourth Gunasthana is attained with all six Leshyas, and the fifth and sixth Gunasthanas are attained with three auspicious Dravya Leshyas, all six Dravya Leshyas are present in those who attain the fourth, fifth, and sixth Gunasthanas. Therefore, after attaining the Gunasthanas, six Leshyas are considered up to the sixth Gunasthana.
**Note:**
It is important to remember that when attaining the fourth, fifth, and sixth Gunasthanas, the Bhava Leshya is auspicious, not inauspicious. However, after attaining these Gunasthanas, the Bhava Leshya can become inauspicious.
