## The Fifth Karma Granth
### 136
The indication of the unimpeded state of the remaining seven karmas, excluding the Astikarma, has been given earlier, stating that in the state of a Koḍakoḍī ocean, there is an unimpeded period of one hundred years. However, this ratio does not apply to the unimpeded state of Ayukarma. The reason for this is that the binding of other karmas is continuous, but the binding of Ayukarma occurs only at specific times. Therefore, the unimpeded period of Ayukarma has been indicated separately as follows:
**Niruvakamaṇ ṣaṃmāsā - Nirupakrama āyu vāle** - that is, for those Devas, Narakas, and Bhogabhūmi humans and Tiryanchas whose lifespan is not subject to decay or destruction, the unimpeded period of Ayukarma is six months. And for the remaining humans and Tiryanchas, the unimpeded period of Ayukarma is one-third of their lifespan - **Abāha sesāṇa bhavatanso**.

According to the Gati, the specific time periods for the binding of Ayukarma are as follows:
In the human and Tiryancha Gatis, when two-thirds of the lifespan has passed, the time for the binding of the Parbhavas' Ayukarma arrives.
The Gatis in which they are born have been explained. Regarding the Tiryanchas, it is written:
**Tejadugaṃ tericche se apuṣyaviyalagāyatahā.
Lilūṇagarivi taha'saṇṇī ghamme ya devaduge || 549 ||**
Those with greater Tejas and Vayu, upon death, are born in the Tiryancha Gati and the human Gati. However, they cannot become Tirthankaras, etc. And the Asanji Panchendriya beings are born in the aforementioned Tiryancha and human Gatis, as well as in the first Naraka called Dharma, and in the Devadrik, that is, the Bhavanavāsī and Vyantar Devas.
**1 Āusa ya āvāhā ṇ ḍipiḍimā**

Just as the measure of unimpededness is determined according to the proportion of the state in other karmas, it is not determined in the Astikarma.
