## The Five Karma Granthya
The Karma Granthya, within the framework of the Sanghasana, has five, two, five, and eight sub-categories of the Karma body, respectively, under the categories of color, smell, taste, and touch. Their binding and arising are not specifically defined, but generally, only four categories, starting with color, are considered. This is because all twenty of these categories bind and arise together, with no single nature binding or arising earlier or later than the others. Therefore, only the four categories, starting with color, are considered in binding and arising.
Thus, in binding and arising, the five binding, five obstructing, and sixteen natures, starting with color, are considered to be present in existence, totaling forty-eight sub-natures. When fifteen categories are considered instead of the three categories of the binding Karma, then one hundred and forty-eight natures are considered to be present in existence.
The difference in the number of natures in binding, arising, and existence is based on the level of detail considered.
## The Mohaniya Karma in the Sub-Natures
The Karma Granthya mentions ten binding places for the Mohaniya Karma, with nine Bhuyaska, eleven Alpatar, ten Avasthit, and two Avaktvy binding categories. However, the Go. Karmakanda mentions twenty Bhuyaska, eleven Alpatar, thirty-three Avasthit, and two Avaktvy binding categories, which are explained in the following verse:
**Verse 468:**
"Ten, eleven, thirty-three, are the binding places of the Mohaniya Karma. The Bhuyaska, Alpatar, and Avasthit, and the two Avaktvy, are the categories."
The difference in this explanation between the Karma Granthya and the Karmakanda arises because the Karma Granthya focuses only on the ascent and descent of the qualities in the quality places, while the Karmakanda considers this aspect along with the possibility of the soul moving from one quality place to another during ascent and descent.
