## The Eight Karmas: Their Existence and Arising
**-** In the first seven to eight Gunasthanas, there is the existence and arising of eight Karmas. In the Kshama-moha Gunasthana, both existence and arising are of seven Karmas. In the Sayogika-cheli and Prayogika-pheli Gunasthanas, both existence and arising are of four Karmas. In the Upasanta-moha Gunasthana, the existence is of eight Karmas and the arising is of seven Karmas.
**Meaning:** Up to the subtle-sambara-guna-sthana, there is the existence and arising of eight Karmas. In the Kshama-moha Gunasthana, both existence and arising are of seven Karmas. In the Sayogika-cheli and Prayogika-pheli Gunasthanas, both existence and arising are of four Karmas. In the Upasanta-moha Gunasthana, the existence is of eight Karmas and the arising is of seven Karmas.
**Explanation:** In the first ten Gunasthanas, the eight Karmas are found in both their existence and arising states. In the eleventh Gunasthana, the Mohaniya Karma remains in its existence state but does not arise, therefore, the existence is of eight Karmas and the arising is of seven Karmas. In the Para Gunasthana, the Mohaniya Karma is completely destroyed, therefore, both existence and arising are of seven Karmas. In the twelfth and thirteenth Gunasthanas, only four Karmas exist and arise.
**Summary:** The existence of Karmas is eight in the first eleven Gunasthanas, seven in the twelfth, and four in the thirteenth and fourteenth. The arising of Karmas is eight in the first ten Gunasthanas, seven in the eleventh and Para, and four in the thirteenth and fourteenth.
