## From the Karma Granth
**Chapter 265: The Essence of the Lower and Higher Castes**
The essence of the lower and higher castes undergoes a transformation in the tenth **Ganasthana** (stage of spiritual development) when the bond of the higher caste is broken. This transformation continues in the eleventh, twelfth, **Tare-Upashanta-Moha** (stage of subdued delusion), **Kshina-Moha** (stage of diminished delusion), and **Sayogikevali** (stage of liberated being) **Ganasthanas**, where the higher caste emerges and the essence of the higher and lower castes undergoes a transformation. Thus, from the sixth to the thirteenth **Ganasthana**, each **Ganasthana** experiences a transformation. This is proven.
**Two Transformations in the Fourteenth Ganasthana**
In the fourteenth **Ganasthana**, the **Ayogikevali** (stage of liberated being), there are two transformations. This is because the essence of the lower caste exists only until the penultimate moment in the **Ayogikevali Ganasthana**. Since the fourteenth **Ganasthana** does not have the nature of emergence, the essence of the lower caste transforms into the essence of the higher caste through the transition of **Sthibhuk** (the subtle body) in the penultimate moment. Therefore, until the penultimate moment of this **Ganasthana**, the emergence of the higher caste and the essence of the higher and lower castes undergo one transformation. And in the final moment, the emergence of the higher caste and the essence of the higher caste undergo the second transformation. Thus, one should understand that there are two transformations in the fourteenth **Ganasthana**.
**Transformations of Vedaniya and Gotra Karmas**
After discussing the transformations of **Vedaniya** (karmas related to experiences) and **Gotra** (karmas related to caste) in the **Ganasthanas**, we will now discuss the transformations of **Ayukarma** (karmas related to lifespan) based on the **Bhashya** (commentary) verses. The relevant verse is as follows:
**"Achahi Avisa Solas Chisan Cha Bar Gh Doshu. Vo Chausu Titu Ekkam Minchai Su Bauge Bhang."**
This means that in the **Mithyatva** (stage of false belief) **Ganasthana**, there are 28 transformations of **Ayukarma**. In **Sasadan** (stage of attachment), there are 26. In **Mishra** (stage of mixed belief), there are 16. In **Avirat Samyagdristi** (stage of unwavering right faith), there are 20. In **Deshavirat** (stage of detachment from the world), there are 12. In **Pramat** (stage of distraction) and **A-Pramat** (stage of non-distraction), there are 6. In **A-Purvakaran** (stage of non-accumulation of karmas) and other four stages, there are 2. And in **Kshina-Moha** (stage of diminished delusion) and other stages, there is 1. Thus, one should understand the transformations of **Ayukarma** in the **Ganasthanas** from **Mithyatva** to **Kshina-Moha**. The detailed explanation is as follows...
