## The Fifth Karma Granth
*
In the context of stating the characteristics of those who possess excellent and inferior *pradeshabandha*, the following points are highlighted:
1. Just as it is necessary to have fewer partners for obtaining a larger share of wealth, similarly, the one who performs excellent *pradeshabandha* should bind fewer *prakritis*. Because it has been explained in the division of previous karmas that whatever *jikas* are present in a *raman*, they are all divided into the *prakritis* that are bound at that time. Therefore, if the number of *prakritis* to be bound is large, they will receive small *pradeshas* during the division, and if the number of *prakritis* is small, they will receive larger *dalikas* during the division.
2. Just as it is necessary to have a high income for greater gains, similarly, the one who performs excellent *pradeshabandha* should possess excellent *yoga*. Because the cause of *pradeshabandha* is *yoga*, and if *yoga* is intense, there will be a connection with a larger number of *karmadalikas* to the soul, and if *yoga* is weak, there will also be a decrease in the number of *karmadalikas*. Therefore, the presence of excellent *yoga* is stated for excellent *pradeshabandha* - *ukkad jogi*.
3-4. The third requirement for the one who possesses excellent *pradeshabandha* is that they should be a *sanjni* and *paryaptak*. Because an *aparyaptak* being is one with a short lifespan and limited power, they cannot perform excellent *pradeshabandha*. Along with being *paryaptak*, they should also be *sanjni*. Because even if they are *paryaptak* but not *sanjni*, they cannot perform excellent *pradeshabandha*. The power of an *asanjni* being is also incomplete.
