## The Fifth Karma Text
**163** The number of these **sthitibandha** (states of bondage) is 36. Although there are 14 types of **jivamaas** (life-spans) and two states for each **jiva** (living being) due to the difference in **jayantar** (birth) and **utkrista** (excellence) in the **loka** (world), which makes 28 states compared to **jivamaas**, but in the description of the **alp bahutva** (fewness) of **sthitibandha**, there are four states of **avirata samyagdristi** (uninterrupted right faith), two states of **deshavirati** (renunciation of the world), one state of **sanyata** (self-control), and one state of **sukshmasampray** (subtle perception), which when added together make a total of 36 states.
In these 36 states, each subsequent state is either **gunita** (multiplied) or **adhik** (more) than the previous state. If these **sthitibandha** are viewed from top to bottom, the **sthiti** (state) increases, and if viewed from bottom to top, the **sthiti** decreases. This makes it easy to understand which **jiva** binds more **sthiti** and which binds less. From **ekendriya** (one-sensed) to **dashaindriya** (ten-sensed), from **dwindriya** (two-sensed) to **saptindriya** (seven-sensed), from **triindriya** (three-sensed) to **chaturindriya** (four-sensed), from **chaturindriya** (four-sensed) to **asanghi panchendriya** (uncontrolled five-sensed), there is more **sthitibandha**, and from **asanghi panchendriya** (uncontrolled five-sensed) to **sanyami** (self-controlled), from **sanyami** (self-controlled) to **deshavirati** (renunciation of the world), from **deshavirati** (renunciation of the world) to **avirata samyagdristi** (uninterrupted right faith), and from **avirata samyagdristi** (uninterrupted right faith) to **sanghi panchendriya mithyaishti** (controlled five-sensed wrong faith), there is more **sthitibandha**. Among them, the **jghanya sthitibandha** (lowest state of bondage) of **paryapta** (sufficient) is more than the **jghanya sthitibandha** (lowest state of bondage) of **aparyapta** (insufficient). Similarly, from **ekendriya** (one-sensed) to...
A quantity obtained by multiplying a quantity is called **gunita** (multiplied), for example, multiplying 4 by 2 gives 8, this 8 is twice its predecessor 4. But if 2 is divided into 4 and the quotient 2 is added to 4, the number will be 6. This will be called **visheshadhik** (slightly more) or **kuchh adhik** (somewhat more). Because this quantity is not **gunadhik** (multiplied more) but **bhagaadhik** (divided more). This is the difference between **gunita** and **visheshadhik**.
