## Translation:
**Pātam**
It is not absolute, therefore there are three divisions of both types of bonds. There is no defeat of other options:
After stating the **bhūyas** and **alpatar** bonds in the **mūla karma**, now the **avasthita bandha** is being explained. **Avasthita bandha** is the binding of the same number of karmas in the second time as in the first time. In other words, binding eight karmas and then binding eight again, binding seven and then binding seven again, binding six and then binding six again, and binding one and then binding one again is called **avasthita bandha**. There are four **bandhasthāna**, therefore there are also four **avasthita bandha**.
**Avaktavya bandha** is the binding of no karma and then binding karma again. This bond does not occur in the **bandhasthāna** of **mūla karma**. Because until the thirteenth **guṇasthāna**, there is continuous karma binding, but in the fourteenth **guṇasthāna**, there is no binding of any karma. And after reaching the fourteenth **guṇasthāna**, the jīva does not return to the lower **guṇasthāna**, so there is no opportunity to bind karma again by not binding even a single karma. Therefore, **avaktavya bandha** also does not occur in the **mūla karma** types.
In this way, after explaining the **bandhasthāna** and their **bhūyas** etc. bonds in the **mūla karma** types, now the characteristics of **bhūyas** etc. bonds are being explained in the next verse. The characteristics of **bhūyas** etc. bonds:
**Egādhahige bhūo emāigeri appataro:**
**Tammattosvadvigao ahame samae abtako. ||26||**
**1 Ambandhago na bambai ii asvatto ao naditha.**
**Pañcasangraha 220**
