## Fifth Karma-Pratikraman
This is a detailed explanation of the special rules for the binding of karma-pratikraman. The general rule for the binding of karma-pratikraman is that, out of the four binding factors - Mithyatva, Adhirat, Kshaya, and Yoga - whichever factor is present, and 'Je Bae'i Te Bandhai' - whichever nature arises to that particular Gunasthan, the binding of that nature is certain.
Therefore, the binding of the seven natures - the four Ananta-Anubandhi Kshayas and the five Sthana-Naddhinik - is due to the Atma-Parinam caused by the arising of the Ananta-Anubandhi Kshayas. These arise up to the second Sasadan Gunasthan. Beyond that, the absence of Atma-Parinam caused by the arising of Ananta-Anubandhi Kshayas prevents further binding.
Similarly, the binding of the four Apratyakhyana-Avarana Kshayas occurs up to the fourth Aviriti Samyagdrishti Gunasthan. Beyond that, the absence of any such Atma-Parinam prevents further binding. The binding of the four Prayapika-Avarana Kshayas occurs up to the fifth Deshaviriti Gunasthan. The binding of Nidra and Prachala occurs up to the first moment of the eighth Apurvakaran Gunasthan. Beyond that, the impossibility of further binding-worthy results prevents further binding.
The binding of Sanjwalan Krodha, Mana, Maya, and Lobha occurs up to the Badar Samparaya Gunasthan. This is because the arising of the Badar Kshaya is the cause of their binding. This arises only up to the ninth Gunasthan, not beyond.
The binding of the fourteen natures - five Jnana-Avarana, four Darshan-Avarana, and five Antaraya - occurs up to the last moment of the tenth Sukshma-Samparaya Gunasthan. This is because the Kshaya that is the cause of their binding arises only up to this Gunasthan, not beyond.
In this way, the forty-nine natures - five Jnana-Avarana, nine Darshan-Avarana, nineteen Mohaniya, nine Nama-Karma, and five Antaraya - are bound...
