## Shataka (5)
**Name Karma:** Creation, Stable, Unstable, Heavy-Light, Auspicious, Inauspicious, Tejas Body, Karman Body, Color, Smell, Taste, Touch.
**15) Obstacles:** Giving, Gain, Enjoyment, Consumption, Semen Obstacles.
These are discussed in the order of the verses. The twelve aspects of Name Karma - Creation, Stable, Unstable, Heavy-Light, Auspicious, Inauspicious, Tejas, Karman, and the four aspects of Color - are considered **Dhruvodaka** (ever-present) because their manifestation is always present in the beings bound by the **Pasha** (bondage). As long as there is a body, their manifestation will continue. At the end of the thirteenth **Munasthan** (stage of spiritual progress), the manifestation of these twelve aspects ceases, but until then, all beings experience their manifestation.
Although the four aspects of Stable, Unstable, Auspicious, and Inauspicious are considered **opposite** to each other, this opposition is in relation to **bondage**. Because, during the time of Stable Name Karma, Unstable Name Karma cannot be bound, and during the time of Auspicious Name Karma, Inauspicious Name Karma cannot be bound. However, there is no opposition in relation to **manifestation**. Stable and Unstable can manifest simultaneously. Because, due to the manifestation of Stable Name Karma, bones, teeth, etc. become stable, and due to the manifestation of Unstable Name Karma, blood, etc. become unstable. Similarly, due to the manifestation of Auspicious Name Karma, the head, etc. become auspicious limbs, and due to the manifestation of Inauspicious Name Karma, the feet, etc. become inauspicious limbs. Therefore, although these four aspects are considered opposite in relation to bondage, they are considered non-opposite in relation to manifestation.
The five **Gnanavarana** (knowledge obscurations), five **Antaraya** (obstacles), and four **Darshanavarana** (perception obscurations) - these fourteen aspects continue to manifest until their destruction at their respective **Gunasthan** (stage of spiritual progress). Their destruction occurs at the culmination of the twelfth **Gunasthan**. Therefore, they are called **Naanantarapa Dasan Chal O Sajogi Vayala** (the fourteen aspects that are not destroyed until the twelfth Gunasthan). - **Second Karmagrantha, Verse 20**
