## Chapter on Sevenfold Divisions
**Summary:** From the origination of the 20th nature to the origination of the 8th nature, there are 1, 42, 11, 33, 600, 33, 1202, 1785, 2617, 1165, 1, and 1 destructions respectively.
**Specific Explanation:** Previously, 12 originations of nature were explained, namely the 20th, 21st, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 6th, and 8th natures, along with the number of originations and destructions in each state of existence. Now, we will explain the number of destructions for each of these originations.
The 20th nature has one destruction, which occurs for the Arhat who is free from all karmas. The 21st nature has 42 destructions. These can be understood as follows: 5 for the one-sensed beings, 6 for the two-sensed beings, 8 for the five-sensed beings, 8 for humans, 1 for Tirthankaras, 6 for gods, and 1 for hell beings. The total of these is 5 + 6 + 8 + 8 + 1 + 6 + 1 = 42.
The 24th nature occurs only for the one-sensed beings, not for others.
**Note:** The *Karmakanda* verses 603-605 mention the destructions of these 20 natures as 1, 60, 27, 16, 620, 12, 1175, 1760, 2621, 1161, 1, and 1 respectively. The total of these is 7758.
**Verse:** "The destructions of the twenty natures are as follows: one, sixty, twenty-seven, sixteen, six hundred and twenty, twelve, eleven hundred and seventy-five, seventeen hundred and sixty, twenty-six hundred and twenty-one, eleven hundred and sixty-one, one, and one."
