## Chapter 70
**Gain is achieved only through the arising of the infinite bonds, not otherwise.** It is also said: "Without the arising of the infinite bonds, the attainment of the state of Saasadan Samyaktv is not possible."
**The inquirer asks:**
"Is it not appropriate to assume that when a being is facing falsehood but has not attained falsehood, then according to those teachers, the attainment of the Saasadan Gunasthan would occur even without the arising of their infinite bonds? If this is the case, then their six-natured, seven-natured, eight-natured, and nine-natured states would be attained. But this is not the case, because it is not mentioned in the Agamas, and those teachers do not believe it. Therefore, it is clear that the attainment of Saasadan Samyaktv does not occur without the arising of the infinite bonds."
**Solution:**
This assumption is not correct, because if it were true, then the being would attain the four states of six-natured, seven-natured, eight-natured, and nine-natured. However, this is not mentioned in the Agamas, and those teachers do not believe it. This proves that the attainment of Saasadan Samyaktv does not occur without the arising of the infinite bonds.
"The being who, by disconnecting the infinite bonds, clings to the state of Upshamni, does not attain the Saasadan Gunasthan." This statement is made according to the commentary of Acharya Malayagiri. However, based on the lower evidence of Karma-prakriti, etc., it is known that such a being does attain the Saasadan Gunasthan. As it is written in the Purna of Karma-prakriti:
"The being who is a true monk, who has a desire for liberation, and who is firmly established in the right path, will not be bound by the infinite bonds." (Commentary on Chapter 70, page 166)
