**Grahanayogya (Acceptable) and Agrahanayogya (Unacceptable) Varganas**
There are Grahanayogya Varganas which are acceptable, and Agrahanayogya Varganas which are unacceptable, differing from the Grahanayogya Varganas by the addition of one atom (F-atom).
**Explanation:** This world is filled with Lokaparamanu (world atoms) and Skandha-shaped Pudgalas (matter particles). The Pudgalakaya (matter body) is divided into many Varganas (categories), including a Karma Varga (category of karma). These Varganas, due to the influence of the Yoga (union) of Narmama (subtle body) and Kashaya (passions), transform into Karma-rupa (karma form). The space occupied by one atom of Pudgala is called a Pradesh (region). Therefore, the quantity of Pudgala Skandhas transformed into Karma-rupa is measured by the number of atoms. This is called Pradeshbandha (binding of regions). Therefore, to understand Pradeshbandha, it is necessary to understand Karma Vargana. To understand Karma Vargana, it is necessary to understand the previous Varganas like Audarik (material) etc. Therefore, the nature of these Varganas should also be understood. For this reason, the nature of Audarik etc. Varganas is explained here.
These Audarik etc. Varganas are of two types: Grahanayogya (acceptable) and Agrahanayogya (unacceptable). Starting with Agrahanayogya Vargana, the nature of Varganas up to Karma Vargana is explained in the verse.

1. In the commentary of the Karma Grantha (text on karma), a group of Skandhas of the same type is called a Vargana.
However, in the commentary of Karma Prakriti (nature of karma), Skandha and Vargana are considered synonymous. Because the space occupied by Skandha-Vargana is an infinitesimal part of an angul (finger). If a group of Skandhas of the same type is called a Vargana, then its world...
