## The Fifth Karma Granth
**11. Sthitibandha:** The time limit for karma pudgalas, taken by the soul through the senses, to remain with the soul without abandoning their nature, is called Sthitibandha.
**(3) Rasaband:** The varying potency of karma pudgalas, taken by the soul, to bear fruit is called Rasaband.
Rasaband is also called **Anubhagaband** or **Anubhavaband**.
**(4) Pradeshband:** The connection of karma skandhas with the soul, with varying numbers of atoms, is called Pradeshband.
**Summary:** When karma varganas, due to the influence of the soul's yoga and kshaya emotions, transform into karma form, they have four aspects:
1. Their nature,
2. Their duration,
3. Their potency to bear fruit, and
4. Their connection with the soul in a specific quantity.
These four aspects are called the four types of bandha: **Prakriti, Sthiti, Ras, and Pradesh**.
Of these, **Prakritibandha** and **Pradeshbandha** depend on the soul's yoga power, while **Sthiti** and the potency to bear fruit depend on kshaya emotions.
**In other words:** If the yoga power is strong or weak, the karma pudgalas obtained through bandha will have a corresponding nature.
**Notes:**
1. **Anubhagaband** is particularly prevalent in Digambar literature.
2. **Prakriti** is called nature, **Sthiti** is the time limit, **Anubhag** is Ras, and the number of groups is called **Pradesh**.
3. **Pradeshbandha** is earned through yoga.
