This is because in none of these Jivasthan is there any detachment of their binding, arising, and existence.
In the final fourteenth Jivasthan, the sufficient five-sense faculty, the detachment of Gnanavaran and Antaraya Karma happens first, followed by the detachment of arising and existence. Therefore, here, five-Prakriti binding,
