## The Five Karma Granth
It is said that if one takes one seer each of neem and sugarcane juice and boils them until they are reduced to half a seer, then it is called **Dwistahanik Rasa**, because the cooked juice has twice the bitterness and twice the sweetness of the original natural juice. If the same juice is boiled further until it is reduced to one seer, then it should be understood as **Vistahanik Rasa**, because it has three times the bitterness or three times the sweetness of the original natural juice. When the same juice is boiled further and reduced to one-fourth of a seer, then it is called **Chatuhstahanik Rasa**, because it has four times the bitterness and four times the sweetness of the original natural juice.
Now, based on the above example, we can understand the **Ekstahanik** etc. in the context of **Ashubh** (unfavorable) and **Shubh** (favorable) natures. Just as the **Vistahanik Rasa** has twice the bitterness of the **Ekstahanik Rasa** of neem, and the **Vistahanik Rasa** has three times the bitterness, and the **Chatuhstahanik Rasa** has four times the bitterness, similarly, the **Ashubh** natures that are the most competitive and have the most **Jayanya Rasa** are called **Ekstahanik Rasa**. The **Vistahanik** competitors have an infinite amount of **Rasa** compared to them, and the **Vistahanik** competitors have an infinite amount of **Rasa** compared to them, and the **Chatuhstahanik** competitors have an infinite amount of **Rasa** compared to them. Similarly, in **Shubh** natures, it should be understood that the **Dwitiya**, **Tritiya**, and **Chaturtha** places have an infinite amount of **Shubh Rasa** compared to the **Ekstahanik**.
These four places are caused by the increasing intensity of **Kshaya** (negative karma) in **Ashubh** natures and the increasing **Kshaya** (negative karma) in **Shubh** natures. The increasing intensity of **Kshaya** leads to **Rasa** from **Ekstahanik** to **Chatuhstahanik** in **Ashubh** natures, and the increasing **Kshaya** leads to **Rasa** from **Dwistahanik** to **Chatuhstahanik** in **Shubh** natures.
