## The Fifth Karmagrantha
The Basdashak and Stavardashak, totaling twenty natures, are mutually antagonistic and bind themselves when their respective eligible natures bind. Therefore, they are considered Adhruvbandhini natures.
High Gotra and Low Gotra are mutually antagonistic natures. When a High Gotra binds, a Low Gotra does not bind, and vice versa. Therefore, both are called Adhruvbandho. Similarly, Saata Vedaniya and Asaata Vedaniya are also mutually antagonistic, making them Adhruvbandhini natures.
While considering Gotra Karma and Vedaniya Karma as Adhruvbandhini natures, it is also important to understand that Saata and Asaata Vedaniya are Adhruvbandhi only up to the sixth Gunasthan. However, after the Asaata Vedaniya is liberated in the sixth Gunasthan, the Saata Vedaniya Karma becomes Dhruvbandhi in the seventh and subsequent Gunasthanas. Similarly, High Gotra and Low Gotra are Adhruvbandhi up to the second Gunasthan. However, after the Low Gotra is liberated in the second Gunasthan, the High Gotra becomes Dhruvbandhi in the subsequent Gunasthanas.
The two pairs of Mohaniya Karma, namely Haasya-Rati and Shoka-Arati, are Adhruvbandhini. This is because these two pairs are mutually antagonistic. When the Haasya-Rati pair binds, the Shoka-Arati pair does not bind, and vice versa.
**Note:** For the natures that are eligible to bind and liberate in each Gunasthan, refer to the second Karmagrantha, verses 4 to 12.
