The **Shataka** (century) occurs in the sixth part of the eighth **Gunasthan**. Again, falling from the **Upshama Shreni**, until the **Antamuhurta**, the being, bound by the **Tirthankara** nature, ascends the **Upshama Shreni** and becomes unbound there. At that time, the **Jghanya Andhakala** (dark period) of the **Tirthankara** nature occurs at the **Antamuhurta**. Thus, with the statement of the **Baishwakala** (universal time) of the **Adhruvabandhini** (non-permanent) natures, the discussion of **Sthitibandha** (state-binding) is complete. Now, we discuss **Rasabandh** (taste-binding) or **Anubhaga Bandh** (experience-binding). **Rasabandh** is one of the four divisions of **Bandha** (binding) - **Prakriti** (nature), **Pradesh** (region), **Sthiti** (state), and **Ras** (taste). After describing **Prakritibandha** and **Sthitibandha**, we now describe **Rasabandh** or **Anubhaga Bandh**. First, the author explains the causes of **Tivra** (intense) and **Manda** (mild) **Anubhaga Bandh** for **Shubha** (auspicious) and **Ashubha** (inauspicious) natures.
**Timro Asuhasuhaanam Sanke Savilohio Vivjayau. Mabaraso Girimhahirayajalarehasarisakasaehi. ||6|| Chauthaanaai Asuha Sunha Vigghade Saghai Avarana. Pumsanjalani Gabuti Chauthaana Rasa Ses Dugamai. ||4||**
**Word Meaning:** **Simbo** - intense, **Bhasuhasuhaanam** - auspicious and inauspicious natures, **Sanke Savilohio** - by **Samklesha** (affliction) and **Vishuddhi** (purification), **Vivjayau** - conquered.
**Mo:** In the **Karmakanda**, only the **Jghanya Bandhakala** (minimum binding time) of the **Adhruvabandhini** natures is mentioned.
**Avaro Bhisan Muhatto Tityaharaana Satan Aaunam. Samao Chavatthiinam Bandho Tamha Drudha Sesaa. ||126||**
The **Jghanya Kala** (minimum time) for the continuous binding of **Tirthankara**, **Aharaknik** (food-taker), and the four **Ayus** (life spans) is the **Antamuhurta**, and the **Jghanya Kala** for the continuous binding of the remaining six **Prakrtis** (natures) is one **Samaya** (time).
