## Chapter 342: The Realm of Binding
**The realm of binding for the non-attentive and non-reverted, the ninth-stage-dwelling Muni and the remaining natures is done by the deluded-view-holding living beings.**
**Explanation:** In the previous verse, we discussed the realm of binding for the twenty-five natures out of the one hundred and twenty bindable natures. In these two verses, we will discuss the realm of binding for the remaining eighty-five natures.
These sixty-five natures are divided into five sections. The first section includes five natures, the second thirteen, the third nine, the fourth two, and the fifth includes the remaining sixty-six natures besides the aforementioned ones.
The first section includes the five natures of **Purusha-veda** and the **four burning passions** (anger, pride, deceit, and greed). It is said that the ninth-stage-dwelling living being, known as **A-niyat-ti** (non-reverted), holds the realm of binding for these five natures. This is because **Purusha-veda** is a type of **no-kṣaya** (non-exhaustive) **mohaniya** (delusive), and since there is no binding of the six **no-kṣaya** in the ninth stage, their portion goes to **Purusha-veda**. After the binding of **Purusha-veda** is severed, the **four burning passions** hold the realm of binding. This is because all the substance of the twelve **kṣaya** (exhaustive) and **no-kṣaya** (non-exhaustive) - **mithyātva** (false view), **ananta-anubandhi** (infinitely connected), **apratyākhyāna-āvaraṇa** (non-rejected covering), and **pratyākhyāna-āvaraṇa** (rejected covering) - goes to the **four burning passions**.
The second section includes the thirteen natures of **shubha-viha-yoga-gati** (auspicious path of liberation), **manushya-ayu** (human lifespan), **deva-trika** (divine path, divine predecessors, and divine lifespan), **subhaga-trika** (auspicious, melodious, and worthy), **vaikriya-dvika** (vaikriya body, vaikriya limbs), **sama-chaturasra-samsthāna** (equally square-shaped body), **asāta-vedaniya** (not-to-be-experienced), **vajra-ṛṣabha-nārācha** (diamond-bull-elephant).
