## The Six Karma Categories and Their Distribution in the Fourteen Realms
The third number in the verse represents the number of **udayasthanas**, and the third number represents the number of **sattastahnas**. There are a total of six such groups of numbers in the verse. The second verse divides the fourteen realms of existence into six parts. This implies that the realms of the first part belong to the first group, the realms of the second part belong to the second group, and so on.
Although the verses indicate the number of **bandhastahnas**, **udayastahnas**, and **sattastahnas** in each realm, they do not specify which ones they are or how many of each type are present. Therefore, we will discuss this in detail here, following the commentary of Acharya Malayagiri.
By combining the verses "**Paṇ duṛgā paṇagaṁ satteva apjjaṭṭā**" in the appropriate order, we arrive at one conclusion. This means that each of the seven **aparāpta** realms has five **bandhastahnas**, two **udayastahnas**, and five **sattastahnas**. This is explained as follows: the seven types of **aparāpta** beings bind the **prakrtis** that are suitable for the human and animal realms, but not the **prakrtis** that are suitable for the heavenly and hellish realms. Therefore, these seven **aparāpta** realms do not have 28, 31, and 1 **prakrtik bandhastahnas**, but rather 23, 25, 26, 26, and 30 **prakrtik bandhastahnas**. These five **bandhastahnas** also bind only the **prakrtis** suitable for the human and animal realms. A detailed discussion of these **bandhastahnas** will be provided when we discuss the **bandhastahnas** of **nāmakarma**. Therefore, you should understand it from there. Here, considering all the **bandhastahnas** together, each realm has 13947 **bhangas**.
