The general discussion of the above five is as follows:
Firstly, the soul, through the process of *apravartanakaran*, establishes the *karmas* within the *antarmuhurt* and creates a *punashreni*. The establishment is as follows: Taking the time of *udayakal* as the starting point, the *karmas* are established in a sequential series within the *antarmuhurt*, excluding the initial *udayakal* time. The number of *karmas* established in the first time period is the least. The number of *karmas* established in the second time period is countless times more than those established in the first time period. The number of *karmas* established in the third time period is countless times more than those established in the second time period. This sequence should be understood until the final time period of the *antarmuhurt*. Since the number of *karmas* established in each time period is countless times more than the previous one, this is called *gunaveni*.
At this point, the soul binds very few *karmas*, unlike anything it has done before. Therefore, this state of binding is called *apuurva sthitibandh*. *Sthitighāt* and *rasghāt* are also *apuurva* at this time. In *gun-sampraman*, the *ashubh karmas* gradually transform into *shubh karmas*.
From the eighth *gunasthan* onwards, as the soul progresses, the *karmas* decay in greater quantities within shorter time periods.
In this state of *utkranti*, the progressing soul becomes ready to awaken the *parmatmashakti*. When the lifespan is short and the number of *karmas* is high, the *kevali samudhyāt* occurs to equalize the number of *karmas* with the duration of the lifespan. During this period of *samudhyāt*, the soul, with its own strength, defeats the more powerful *karmas* and weakens them.
