## Chapter 21: The Fifth Karma Text
The names of the four types of **bhang** (breaking) will be given here. This is because, just as it is necessary to explain the ten stages of **bandha** (binding) due to the **dhruvabandhini** (fixed) nature of **karma** (actions), it is also necessary to explain the stages of **udaya** (emergence) after mentioning the number of **dhruvodaya** (fixed emergence) and **anuvodaya** (variable emergence) natures. Therefore, according to the **Madhyamakaradipa** (middle path) logic, the names of the **bhang** that occur in the **bandha** and **udaya** states are given here. That is, the **bhang** mentioned here should be applied to both **bandha** and **udaya**. The names of these **bhang** are:
1. **Anadi Anant** (infinite from beginningless time)
2. **Anadi Sant** (finite from beginningless time)
3. **Sadi Anant** (infinite from a beginning)
4. **Sadi Sant** (finite from a beginning)
These four **bhang** occur in both **bandha** and **udaya**.
The characteristics of these **bhang** are as follows:
**(1) Anadi Anant:** The **bandha** or **udaya** whose flow has been uninterrupted from beginningless time, neither broken in the middle nor in the future, is called **Anadi Anant**. Such **bandha** or **udaya** occurs in **abhavya** (non-liberated) beings.
**(2) Anadi Sant:** The **bandha** or **udaya** whose flow has been uninterrupted from beginningless time, but will end in the future, is called **Anadi Sant**. Such **bandha** or **udaya** occurs in **bhavya** (liberated) beings.
**(3) Sadi Anant:** The **bandha** or **udaya** whose flow has begun at a specific point in time and continues uninterruptedly, is called **Sadi Anant**. Such **bandha** or **udaya** occurs in beings who have fallen from the **upshanta moha** (calm passion) **gunasthan** (spiritual state).
**(4) Sadi Sant:** The **bandha** or **udaya** whose flow has begun at a specific point in time and will end in the future, is called **Sadi Sant**. Such **bandha** or **udaya** occurs in beings who have fallen from the **upshanta moha** (calm passion) **gunasthan** (spiritual state).
**Note:** The **Panchasangraha** (Five Collections) mentions only three **bhang** because the **Sadi Anant** **bhang** is not a possible alternative.
**The verse:**
"There are three types of **bandha**: **Anadi Anant**, **Anadi Sant**, and **Sadi Sant**. **Abhavya** beings have **Anadi Anant** **bandha**, **bhavya** beings have **Anadi Sant** **bandha**, and beings who have fallen from the **upshanta moha** **gunasthan** have **Sadi Sant** **bandha."
