**Chapter Four of the Kamnanth**
**Possible Explanation of the Gunasthanas in the Context of Karana-Aparayapta**
It is not possible to explain the Gunasthanas in the context of Labdhi-Aparayapta, because the necessary qualifications are not present in the state of Labdhi-Aparayapta.
All Gunasthanas are considered to be present in the state of Sanji-Panchendriya. This is because a human being in the womb, who has the potential for all kinds of auspicious and inauspicious, pure and impure results, can attain all four Gunasthanas. They are Sanji-Panchendriya.
**Doubt:** It may be doubted that there are only twelve Gunasthanas in Sanji-Panchendriya, and not the thirteenth and fourteenth Gunasthanas. This is because the Sanji-svabhaava is absent during these Gunasthanas. At that time, due to the presence of Kshayika-Jnana, there is no Kshayopaashaamik-Jnanaatmaka-Sanjna, which is also called 'Bhaavaman'.
**Resolution:** The statement that the thirteenth and fourteenth Gunasthanas are present in Sanji-Panchendriya is made in relation to Dravyaman, accepting the presence of Sanji-svabhaava. However, in relation to Bhaavaman, there are only twelve Gunasthanas in Sanji-Panchendriya.
**Karana-Aparayapta:** In Sanji-Panchendriya, the first, second, fourth, sixth, and thirteenth Gunasthanas are considered to be Karana-Aparayapta.
**Karmgranth:** The Karmgranth mentions three Gunasthanas in Karana-Aparayapta Sanji-Panchendriya, considering the state of Aparayapta at the time of birth.
**Gommatasar:** The Gommatasar mentions five Gunasthanas, considering both the state of Aparayapta at the time of birth and the state of Aparayapta at the time of attainment.
**Reconciliation:** These two statements are not contradictory, as they are relative to each other.
**Labdhi-Aparayapta:** If we consider the Gunasthanas in Sanji-Panchendriya in the context of Labdhi-Aparayapta, then the fifth Gunasthanas should also be counted. This is because the state of Aparayapta is present in the fifth Gunasthanas when the body is formed due to the attainment of Vikriya-Labdhi.
**Confirmation:** This point is clarified by the following verse from the Saptaatikaani:
