## Sixth Karma-Praya
The **Kshapaka** श्रेणि (category) has 13, 12, and 11 natural **Satta-sthana** (states of being) and when 21 natural **Satta-sthana** are added to them, the **Kshapaka-ming** (category) has 51, 13, 12, and **Par** (transcendental) **Satta-sthana**. There are 21 natural **Satta-sthana** until the eight **Kshaya** (destructive forces) are destroyed, and 13 natural **Satta-sthana** after the eight **Kshaya** are destroyed. Of these, when **Nupusak-veda** (the karma of being a eunuch) is destroyed, there are 12 natural **Satta-sthana**, and when **Stri-veda** (the karma of being a woman) is destroyed from the 12 natural **Satta-sthana**, there are 11 natural **Satta-sthana**.
Thus, in the five natural **Bandha-sthana** (states of bondage), there are six **Satta-sthana**: 28, 24, 21, 13, 12, and 11 natural **Satta-sthana**. Now, we will clarify the six **Satta-sthana** of the four natural **Bandha-sthana**. In the four natural **Bandha-sthana**, there are six **Satta-sthana**: 28, 24, 21, 11, 5, and 4 natural **Satta-sthana**. The four natural **Bandha-sthana** exist in both the **Upshama-shreni** (category) and the **Kshapaka-vani** (category). The explanation given earlier for the 28, 24, and 21 natural **Satta-sthana** found in the **Upshama-shreni** should be understood here as well. Now, regarding the **Kshapaka-vani**, the rule is that a being who ascends to the **Kshapaka-vani** with the arising of **Nupusak-veda** destroys **Nupusak-veda** and **Stri-veda** simultaneously, and with this, the bondage of **Purusha-veda** (the karma of being a man) is broken. After that, its **Purusha-veda** and **Hasya-adi Shatka** (six types of karma related to laughter, etc.) are destroyed simultaneously. If a being arises with **Stri-veda**,
