There are one Bandha-sthana, one Udaya-sthana, and eight Satta-sthana, as per the 'Aagam Mattha'. Their explanation is as follows:
In the Anivriti-badar Guna-sthana, there is one Bandha-sthana of one Prakriti of Yash-Kirti nature, and one Udaya-sthana of thirty Prakritis. The eight Satta-sthana are of thirteen, ninety-two, eighty-six, fifty-eight, eighty, seventy-six, seventy-six, and seventy-five Prakritis. Out of these, the first four Satta-sthana are in the Upshama श्रेणी, and they remain in the Kshapaka श्रेणी until the thirteen Prakritis of Nama-karma are destroyed. When the thirteen Prakritis of the beings with the above four Satta-sthana are destroyed, they attain the Satta of eighty, seventy-six, seventy-six, and seventy-five Prakritis respectively. This means that when the thirteen Prakritis of the being with thirteen Satta are destroyed, they attain eighty Satta. Similarly, when the thirteen Prakritis of the being with sixty-two Satta are destroyed, they attain seventy-six Satta. When the thirteen Prakritis of the being with seventy-six Satta are destroyed, they attain seventy-six Satta. And when the thirteen Prakritis of the being with seventy-six Satta are destroyed, they attain seventy-five Satta. Thus, one should know these eight Satta-sthana. Here, since there is no difference between Bandha-sthana and Udaya-sthana, meaning both are one, there is no possibility of Samvedha. This means that even though there are eight Satta-sthana, there is no need to mention the relationship separately due to the Bandha-sthana and Udaya-sthana being one.
Similarly, in the Sukshma-Samparaya Guna-sthana, there is one Bandha-sthana of one Prakriti of Kirti form, one Udaya-sthana of thirty Prakritis, and eight Satta-sthana of sixty-three etc. Prakritis as mentioned earlier. Out of these eight Satta-sthana, the first four are in the Upshama श्रेणी, and the remaining four, starting from eighty etc. Prakritis, are in the Kshapaka श्रेणी. The rest should be understood as in the Anivriti-badar Guna-sthana.
Now, we will discuss the Bhangas of the eleven to fourteen Guna-sthana, starting from Upshama-moha, as per 'Chhoumatthakevalijina'.
