## The Karma Granth, Page 255
**Bondage, Arising, and Existence of the Five Karmas**
These three - bondage, arising, and existence of the five karmas - are present in the first ten *gunasthānas* (stages of spiritual development). However, in the tenth *gunasthāna*, the bondage of both *jñānāvaraṇa* (knowledge-obscuring karma) and *antarāya* (hindrance karma) is severed. Consequently, in the eleventh and twelfth *gunasthānas*, only the arising and existence of the five karmas remain, as *upashāntamoh* (subdued delusion) and *kṣīṇamoh* (diminished delusion) are present.
Beyond the twelfth *gunasthāna*, in the thirteenth and fourteenth *gunasthānas*, the bondage, arising, and existence of these two karmas are absent. Therefore, none of these three aspects of karma are found.
After explaining the bondage, etc., of *jñānāvaraṇa* and *antarāya* karma, we now discuss the destruction of *darśanāvaraṇa* karma.
**Verse 36:**
"In *mithyātva* (false belief) and *sāmāna* (common) *gunasthānas*, there are four or five *navanau* (types of *darśanāvaraṇa* karma) and their existence."
**Verse 40:**
"From the *miśra* (mixed) *gunasthāna* to the *apūrvakaraṇa* (unprepared) *gunasthāna*, there are four or five *navanau* and their existence, as well as the bondage of four *navanau*."

- In the absence of bondage, in *upashāntamoh* and *kṣīṇamoh*, there are five types of arising and five types of existence for both *jñānāvaraṇa* and *antarāya* karma. Subsequently, there is also an absence of arising and existence.
