## The Fifth Karma
**115**
This is a general rule, but except for Vedaniya karma, the remaining four karmas have both Avaktāvya and Avashthit Bandha. Because when a being, without binding the karma of Jnanaavaran, Antaray, and Gotra karma, falls from the eleventh Gunasthan and binds those karmas again in the lower Gunasthan, then in the first instance, it is Avaktāvya Bandha, and in the second and subsequent instances, it is Avashthit Bandha. Similarly, when Ayush karma is bound in the Vibhaga, then in the first instance, it is Avaktāvya Bandha, and in the second and subsequent instances, it is Avashthit Bandha. However, in Vedaniya karma, only Avashthit Bandha occurs, not Avaktāvya Bandha. Because the Abandha of Vedaniya karma occurs in the Aayogi Kevali Gunasthan, but since the being does not fall from there to the lower Gunasthan, there is no re-binding.
Thus, the binding places and their Bhuyaska, etc., bindings in the 120 Uttar Prakritis, which are eligible for binding of karma, have been explained. Their table is given on page 116. After describing Prakriti Bandha, the next verses describe Sthiti Bandha.
