The sixth karmagrantha, Chaubisi, consists of four, three, two, and one natural bandha sthana, and at the time of abandha, one natural udaya sthana, respectively, with four, three, two, and one gangore. Their total number is eleven. Therefore, there are a total of eleven bhangas for one natural udaya sthana. Thus, the verse explains the chaubisi and the individual bhangas in all the udaya sthanas of mohaniya karma.
The fourth verse of this gatha is described in two ways in the tab of the sixth karmagrantha called Saptathika. According to the svamata, it is described as "char gikimi iskara" and according to the matantara, it is described as "babbis kugiskamikara". According to the first reading, according to the svamata, there are twelve bhangas in two natural udaya sthana, and according to the second reading, according to the matantara, there are twenty-four bhangas in two natural udaya sthana. Acharya Malayagiri has confirmed this meaning in his tika as follows:
"Dwikodaye 'chaturvishatireka bhangakanaam, etasch matantarenoktam, anyatha svamate praavasesha bhangaa bevitaamyaah."
That is, there are twenty-four bhangas in two natural udaya sthana. This statement is made according to the opinion of other acharyas. According to the svamata, there are only twelve bhangas in two natural udaya sthana.
Here, in gatha 16, two natural udaya sthana are mentioned at the time of five natural bandha sthana, and in gatha 17, one natural udaya sthana is mentioned at the time of four natural bandha sthana. This confirms the indication of twelve bhangas according to the svamata and twenty-four bhangas according to the matantara. These differences of opinion are also mentioned in the Panchasangraha Saptathika prakarana and Go. Karmakanda.
The details of the valid bhangas of bandha sthana and udaya sthana should be known as follows.
