## The Fifth Karma Granth
Thus, 5+2+23+4+55+2-1 = 87 natures are **paravartaman** (interacting). Among these, the four **kashayas** (passions) - **anantaanubandhi** (infinitely binding) - and the sixteen **kashayas** (passions) including the four **anantaanubandhi** (infinitely binding) and the five **nidras** (sleeps) are **dhruvabandhini** (permanently binding). Therefore, they do not obstruct other tendencies in the **bandha** (binding) state, but they do obstruct the tendencies of their own kind in the **udaya** (arising) state. This is because only one **kashaya** (passion) arises at a time in a being, for example, only one of the four **kashayas** (passions) - anger, pride, deceit, or greed - can arise at a time. Similarly, when one of the five **nidras** (sleeps) arises, the other four do not arise. Therefore, they are **paravartaman** (interacting).
The four natures - **sthira** (stable), **shubha** (auspicious), **asthira** (unstable), and **ashubha** (inauspicious) - are not **birodhini** (opposite) in the **udaya** (arising) state, but they are **birodhini** (opposite) in the **bandha** (binding) state. This is because **sthira** (stable) does not bind with **asthira** (unstable), and **shubha** (auspicious) does not bind with **ashubha** (inauspicious). Therefore, these four natures are **paravartaman** (interacting). The remaining 66 natures are **paravartaman** (interacting) because they are **birodhini** (opposite) to each other in both the **bandha** (binding) and **udaya** (arising) states.
Thus, the description of the **paravartaman** (interacting) natures has been discussed along with the twelve **dwaras** (gates) as described by the author of the text, starting with **dhruvabandhi** (permanently binding) and ending with **aparaavartaman** (non-interacting). Their details can be found in the table on page 72.
Now, we will discuss the **karma** (action) natures in relation to their **vipak** (result).
**Vipak** (result) refers to the **ramodaya** (enjoyment of the fruits of karma). The power of a **karma** (action) nature to produce specific or diverse fruits and the tendency to produce those fruits is called **vipak** (result). For example, when fruits like mangoes ripen and become ready to eat, they are said to have reached their **vipak** (result). Similarly, when **karma** (action) natures become ready to produce their fruits, it is called their **vipak** (result) state.
