**154**
The five natural bondage-places (**Pancha-Prakritik Bandha-Sthan**) are present in the **Upashmani** and **Kshapakani** stages until the bondage of the **Purusha-Veda** in the **Anivriti-vada** (non-returner) souls. And until the bondage of the **Purusha-Veda**, the six **No-Kshaya** (non-destructive) states exist. Therefore, the five natural bondage-places do not have the presence of **Papa** (sin) and other states.
Now, the remaining states are present in the **Upashmani** stage. There are three natural states: **28**, **24**, and **21**. The **21** and **24** natural states are found in the **Upashma-Shreni** (stage of liberation) for the **Upashma Samyag-Drishti** (liberated soul with perfect vision). The **21** natural state is found in the **Upashma-Shreni** for the **Kshayik Samyag-Drishti** (liberated soul with perfect vision, but still subject to subtle karmic influences).
In the **Kshapakani** stage, the **21** natural state is present until the eight **Kshaya** (destructive) states are destroyed.
Therefore, in comparison to the **Upashmani** stage, there are three natural states: **28**, **24**, and **21**. However, there is a special characteristic: the **28** and **24** natural states are present only in the **Upashma-Shreni** for the **Upashma Samyag-Drishti** soul. But the **21** natural state is present in the **Upashma-Shreni** for the **Kshayik Samyag-Drishti** soul and also in the **Kshapakani** stage until the eight **Kshaya** states are destroyed.
**Footnotes:**
1. The five states, etc., are not found in the five-poison bondage, because the five-poison bondage is bound in the **Purusha-Veda**. And since the bondage of the **Purusha-Veda**, the six **No-Kshaya** states exist.
