## Chapter 70
A total of twenty-four **bhangas** are obtained for the seven **prakritik** **udayasthanas**. When fear or disgust is added to these seven **prakritik** **udayasthanas**, eight **prakritik** **udayasthanas** are obtained in two ways. Thus, there are two options for the eight **prakritik** **udayasthanas**. In one option, there are twenty-four **bhangas**, and in the other option, there are twenty-four **bhangas**. Therefore, there are two sets of twenty-four **bhangas** for the eight **prakritik** **udayasthanas**. The ninth **prakritik** **udayasthanas** is obtained by combining fear and disgust simultaneously with the aforementioned seven **prakritik** **udayasthanas**. Since this is of a single type, it has twenty-four **bhangas**.
Thus, in the twenty-one **prakritik** **bandhasthanas**, there are twenty-four **bhangas** for the seven **prakritik** **udayasthanas**, forty-eight **bhangas** for the eight **prakritik** **udayasthanas**, and twenty-four **bhangas** for the ninth **prakritik** **udayasthanas**, totaling one hundred and twenty **bhangas**.
These twenty-one **prakritik** **bandhasthanas** are only for the **sasadan** **samyagdristi** **jiva**, and there are two types of **sasadan** **samyagdristi**: **shreṇigat** and **ashreṇigat**. A **jiva** who falls from the **upsham** **guna** **sthana** and attains the **sasadan** **guna** **sthana** is called a **shreṇigat** **sasadan** **samyagdristi**. And a **jiva** who does not ascend the **upsham** **shreṇi** but attains the **sasadan** state due to the arising of **anantaanubandhi** is called an **ashreṇigat** **sasadan** **samyagdristi**. Here, the seven, eight, and nine **prakritik** **udayasthanas** mentioned in the twenty-one **prakritik** **bandhasthanas** should be understood in relation to the **ashreṇigat** **sasadan** **samyagdristi** **jiva**.
1. This **pavishtabandha** is attained in **sasadan**. **Sasadan** is of two types: **shreṇigat** and **ashreṇigat**. Having attained **shreṇigat** **sasadan**, one must go through these seven and other **udayasthanas**.
