## The Fifth Karma Text (PFC)
**Concerning the Inferior State of Karma-Natures**
There is no difference in the application of the above verse in the examination of the inferior state of karma-natures. For it has already been indicated that the inferior state of bondage is experienced by the one-sensed beings.
Except for a few natures, having explained the inferior state of the remaining natures in general, we now explain the superior and inferior states of the natures suitable for one-sensed beings, etc., and the inferior state of the subsequent natures of the lifespan karma.
**Verse 37:**
*This (as explained before) is the superior state of bondage for the one-sensed beings, being an infinitesimal part of the Palyopam. The inferior state of bondage is, in sequence, multiplied by twenty-five thousand.*
**Verse 38:**
*For the विकलेन्द्रिय (two-sensed) and असंज्ञी पंचेन्द्रिय (five-sensed without consciousness), the superior state of bondage is the largest, and the inferior state of bondage is the smallest, being an infinitesimal part of the Palyopam. The lifespan of the gods and humans is a year, and the remaining lifespan is ten thousand years, which is considered small.*
