## Chapter Six of the Sapttatika: The Sixfold Nature of the Udyaasthan
In the sixth nature of the Udyaasthan, fear, disgust, or Vedak Samyaktva are added to the five natures, resulting in a total of six natures. This leads to three possibilities, resulting in three sets of 24 Bhangas.
In the seventh nature of the Udyaasthan, fear, disgust, or fear and Vedak Samyaktva, or disgust and Vedak Samyaktva are added to the five natures. This also leads to three possibilities, resulting in three sets of 24 Bhangas.
In the eighth nature of the Udyaasthan, fear, disgust, and Vedak Samyaktva are added to the five natures. This results in only one possibility, leading to one set of 24 Bhangas.
In total, there are eight sets of 24 Bhangas in the fourth Gunasthan.
The fifth Gunasthan, Desavirat, has four Udyaasthan, from the fifth to the eighth nature.
The fifth Udyaasthan consists of five natures: Pratyakhyana Avarana, two of the three passions (anger, pride, deceit), one of the three Vedas, and one of the two pairs. This results in one set of 24 Bhangas.
The sixth Udyaasthan is formed by adding fear, disgust, or Vedak Samyaktva to the five natures of the fifth Udyaasthan.
The seventh Udyaasthan is formed by adding fear, disgust, or fear and Vedak Samyaktva, or disgust and Vedak Samyaktva to the five natures of the fifth Udyaasthan.
The eighth Udyaasthan is formed by adding fear, disgust, and Vedak Samyaktva to the five natures of the fifth Udyaasthan.
The term "Virae Khaovsamie" in the verse refers to the sixth and seventh Gunasthan, which are known as Kshayopa-shamic Virat. This term is specific to these two Gunasthan.
The subsequent Gunasthan are referred to as either Upshamik or Kshapak. Those who ascend the Upshamik श्रेणी are called Upshamik, and those who ascend the Kshapak श्रेणी are called Kshapak.
