**Avashthit Bandha**
Binding the same number of karmas as previously is called Avashthit Bandha. For example, binding eight karmas after binding eight, seven after seven, six after six, and one after one is Avashthit Bandha. Binding any karma after not binding any karma is called Avaktvy Bandha in the first time period - "Padhame Samaye Avattvvo."
**Special Explanation Regarding Bhuyaskaar and Bandhas**
Regarding the four types of Bandhas mentioned above - Bhuyaskaar, Alpatar, and Avaktvy Bandha occur only in the first time period, while Avashthit Bandha occurs in the second and subsequent time periods. For example, if someone binds six karmas and then binds seven, it is Bhuyaskaar Bandha. However, this cannot be Bhuyaskaar in the second time period. Because if in the first time period, seven karmas are bound and in the second time period, eight karmas are bound, then Bhuyaskaar changes. If six karmas are bound, it becomes Alpatar, and if seven are bound, it becomes Avashthit.
**Summary**
The essence of the above statement is that binding more after binding less, binding less after binding more, and binding again after not binding anything is only possible once. However, binding the same number of karmas again as bound in the first time period is possible. Therefore, the same Avashthit Bandha can occur continuously for many time periods, but this is not possible for the other three Bandhas.
