## Sixth Karma Granth
**Twenty-five Natural Bond-Places:** There are a total of twenty-five bhangs in the twenty-five natural bond-places. This is because there are twenty bhangs for a being who binds the twenty-five tendencies suitable for an ekendriya (one-sensed being), and one bhang each for beings who bind the twenty-five tendencies suitable for an aparyapt dwi-indriya (deficient two-sensed being), shri-indriya (three-sensed being), chatur-indriya (four-sensed being), tiryanch panch-indriya (animal five-sensed being), and manushya-gati (human realm). Therefore, by adding these five bhangs to the aforementioned twenty bhangs, there are a total of twenty-five bhangs in the twenty-five natural bond-places.
**Twenty-six Natural Bond-Places:** There are a total of sixteen bhangs in the twenty-six natural bond-places. This is because it only occurs for beings who bind the tendencies suitable for an ekendriya, and the first sixteen bhangs have already been mentioned for the twenty-six natural bond-places suitable for an ekendriya. Therefore, these same sixteen bhangs should be known for this twenty-six natural bond-place.
**Twenty-eight Natural Bond-Places:** There are a total of nine bhangs in the twenty-eight natural bond-places. This is because there are eight bhangs in the twenty-eight natural bond-places for a being who binds the tendencies suitable for dev-gati (heavenly realm), and one bhang in the twenty-eight natural bond-places for a being who binds the tendencies suitable for narak-gati (hell realm). This place is not attained by any other beings except for devas and narakas. Therefore, there are a total of nine bhangs in this place.
**Twenty-nine Natural Bond-Places:** There are 248 bhangs in the twenty-nine natural bond-places. This is because there are 4608 bhangs in the twenty-nine natural bond-places suitable for tiryanch panch-indriya, 4608 bhangs in the twenty-nine natural bond-places suitable for manushya-gati, and eight bhangs each in the twenty-nine natural bond-places suitable for dwi-indriya, shri-indriya, chatur-indriya, and dev-gati (including those who attain the status of a Tirthankara). Thus, by adding all these bhangs together, there are a total of 4608 + 4608 + 8 + 8 = 9232 bhangs in the twenty-nine natural bond-places.
