## The Fifth Karma Granth
185
The Koḍī Sāgar is the measure of the situation-bond, and the one who is described as having an excellent situation-bond of seventy Koḍī Koḍī Sāgaras, etc., is in the Mithyātvā Guṇasthāna only. The reason why the situation-bond from Sāsādana to Apūrvakaraṇa Guṇasthāna is within the Koḍī Koḍī Sāgar measure is that the beings in these Guṇasthānas break the Mithyātvā Granthi, due to which their situation-bond does not exceed the Koḍī Koḍī Sāgar measure.
**Question:** The inquisitive person asks about the statement that in the Karma-Prakṛti, etc., Granthas, those who break the Mithyātvā Granthi are also described as having an excellent situation-bond of seventy Koḍī Koḍī Sāgaras, etc. Therefore, how can it be considered that from Sāsādana to Apūrvakaraṇa Guṇasthāna, beings break the Mithyātvā Granthi and therefore do not have a situation-bond exceeding the Koḍī Koḍī Sāgar measure?
**Answer:** It is true that those who break the Granthi also have an excellent situation-bond, but this excellent situation-bond is only for those who, after suppressing Samyaktva, again come to the Mithyātvā Guṇasthāna. Here, the excellent situation-bond of those who have broken the Granthi and are in the Sāsādana, etc., Guṇasthānas is being denied. In the Āvashyaka, etc., the denial of the excellent bond for the Mithyā-Iṣṭi who has broken the Granthi is indicated by the theoretical view. According to the Karma-Granthika view, even the Mithyā-Iṣṭi has an excellent situation-bond of Mithyātvā, but it does not have strong experience power. Therefore, from Sāsādana,
5. Because of insufficient Samyaktva, even after renunciation, the Granthi is not transcended, and the excellent situation-bond binds according to Karma-Prakṛti, as the saying goes, "The tiger does not speak kindly." This is the theoretical view. The Karma-Granthikas, however, believe that there are excellent situation-bonds from other Granthas.
