## Chapter 244
The consideration of the fourteen states of existence of living beings, including the states of bondage and their dissolution, has been discussed. Now, let's consider their interrelationship.
For subtle one-sensed insufficient living beings, there are 23 natural states of bondage and 21 natural states of liberation. Within these, there are five states of existence: 62, 88, 86, 60, and 78. Similarly, there are five states of existence within the 24 natural states of liberation. In total, there are ten states of existence for both liberation states. Likewise, for those living beings who bind 25, 26, 26, and 30 natural qualities, there are ten states of existence for each of their two liberation states, totaling 50. Similarly, for the remaining one-sensed insufficient beings, such as the dull one-sensed insufficient, it is important to know their 50 states of existence, but it should be understood that they have two liberation states each.
For subtle one-sensed sufficient living beings, there are five states of bondage: 23, 25, 26, 26, and 30 natural qualities. Each state of bondage has four states of liberation: 21, 24, 25, and 26 natural qualities. Therefore, multiplying five by four gives us 20. Each liberation state has five states of existence, so multiplying 20 by five gives us 100 states of existence for subtle one-sensed sufficient living beings.
For dull one-sensed sufficient living beings, there are also five states of bondage: 23, 25, 26, 27, and 30 natural qualities. Each state of bondage has five states of liberation: 21, 24, 25, 26, and 27 natural qualities. Therefore, multiplying five by five gives us 25. Of these, the last five liberation states have four states of existence each, totaling 20. The remaining 20 liberation states have five states of existence each, totaling 100. Thus, there are a total of 120 states of existence here.
For two-sensed sufficient living beings, there are five states of bondage: 23, 25, 26, 27, and 30 natural qualities.
