## Panchap Karmagranth, Chapter 9
The verse hints at the **utkrista pradeshabanda** (highest binding place) of **mohaniya karma** (karma of delusion): "Bitiguna binu mohi sanna micchai" - except for the second and third gunasthanas (states of being), the **utkrista pradeshabanda** of mohaniya karma occurs in the remaining seven gunasthanas.
This means that the **utkrista pradeshabanda** of mohaniya karma is found in the following seven gunasthanas: Mithyatva (falsehood), Aviрата (uncontrolled), Deshavipati (misery due to wrong place), Pramatta (inattentive), Apramatta (attentive), Apurvakarana (unprepared), and Anivritikarana (unliberated).
**Sasa** (second) and **Dan** (third) gunasthanas do not have **utkrista yoga** (highest state of binding), hence they do not have **utkrista pradeshabanda** either.
The absence of **utkrista yoga** in **Sasa** has been mentioned earlier. The reason for its absence in **Dan** is that the **utkrista pradeshabanda** of the second kashaya (passion) is found in **Aviрата** gunasthanas. If **Dan** had **utkrista yoga**, the **utkrista pradeshabanda** of the second kashaya would have been found there as well.
One might argue that **Aviрата** has fewer karmas binding than **Dan**, hence it is considered the **utkrista pradeshabanda**. However, this argument is not valid. In the ordinary state, both **Aviрата** and **Dan** bind seven karmas. Additionally, both bind seventeen **prakritis** (substances) of mohaniya karma. Therefore, the absence of **utkrista yoga** is the reason for not considering **Dan** as the **utkrista pradeshabanda**.
Except for **Aayu** (life span) and **Mohaniya**, the remaining six karmas - **Jnanavaran** (veil of knowledge), **Darshanavaran** (veil of perception), **Vedaniya** (painful), **Naam** (name), **Gotra** (lineage), and **Antaraya** (obstacles) - have their **utkrista pradeshabanda** in the tenth gunasthanas called **Sukshmasampray**. This is because **Sukshmasampray** has **utkrista yoga** and binds fewer karmas.
