## Chapter on the Seven Tika
**Word Meaning:** In the eight **guna sthana** (states of being), there is one **mohaniya karma** (bond of delusion) **bandha sthana** (place of bondage) in each. In the **abhipatta sthana** (state of non-obstruction), there are five, and in the **bandhovarbha** (state beyond bondage), there is no bondage. However, from the **abhipatta sthana** onwards, there is no bondage.
**Meaning:** In the eight **guna sthana** (states of being), from **mithyatva** (false belief) to **apuurvakarana** (state of non-creation), there is one **mohaniya karma** (bond of delusion) **bandha sthana** (place of bondage) in each. In the **abhipatta sthana** (state of non-obstruction), there are five, and in the **bandhovarbha** (state beyond bondage), there is no bondage.
**Specific Meaning:** This verse explains the **bandha sthana** (place of bondage) for **mohaniya karma** (bond of delusion). The general **bandha sthana** for **mohaniya karma** (bond of delusion) have already been explained, which are 22, 21, 17, 13, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 **prakriti** (natural states). These ten places are subtracted from the **guna sthana** (states of being).
"**Guṇasthānage aṭṭasu ekkekkam**" means that from the first **guna sthana** (state of being) of **mithyatva** (false belief) to the eighth **guna sthana** (state of being) of **apuurvakarana** (state of non-creation), there is one **mohaniya karma** (bond of delusion) **bandha sthana** (place of bondage) in each **guna sthana** (state of being). It should be understood that in the **mithyatva** (false belief) **guna sthana** (state of being), there is one **bandha sthana** (place of bondage) of 22 **prakriti** (natural states), in the **sāsādana** (state of self-control) **guna sthana** (state of being), there is one **bandha sthana** (place of bondage) of 21 **prakriti** (natural states), in the **miśra** (mixed) **guna sthana** (state of being) and the **avirata samyagdṛṣṭi** (unwavering right faith) **guna sthana** (state of being), there is one **bandha sthana** (place of bondage) of 17 **prakriti** (natural states), in **deśaviraṭi** (state of detachment from the world), there is one **bandha sthana** (place of bondage) of 13 **prakriti** (natural states), and in **pramattasamyata** (state of controlled mind), **apramattasamyata** (state of uncontrolled mind), and **apuurvakarana** (state of non-creation), there is one **bandha sthana** (place of bondage) of 2 **prakriti** (natural states). The details of their breaking should be understood as explained in the chapter on **mohaniya karma** (bond of delusion) **bandha sthana** (place of bondage). However, here is a special point: the breaking of **arati** (distress) and **śoka** (sorrow) happens in the **pramattasamyata** (state of controlled mind) **guna sthana** (state of being). Therefore, in the **apramattasamyata** (state of uncontrolled mind) and **apuurvakarana** (state of non-creation) **guna sthana** (state of being), only one breaking is obtained in each of the nine **prakriti** (natural states) **bandha sthana** (place of bondage).
