## Chapter 348: The Seventies
**The Locations of Bondage, etc., in the Paths**
Two, six, eight, and four are the locations of bondage. Five, nine, eleven, and six are the locations of arising. Three, five, eleven, and four are the locations of existence. _[51]_
**Explanation:** Two, six, eight, and four are the locations of bondage in the paths of hell, animal, human, and god, respectively. Five, nine, eleven, and six are the locations of arising, and three, five, eleven, and four are the locations of existence.
**Special Meaning:** This verse indicates the number of locations of bondage, arising, and existence in each path. There are four paths: hell, animal, human, and god. The verse first mentions the number of locations of bondage in each path, following this order: "Two, six, eight, and four." This means that there are two locations of bondage in hell, six in the animal path, eight in the human path, and four in the god path. Then, it mentions the locations of arising: "Five, nine, eleven, and six." This means that there are five locations of arising in hell, nine in the animal path, eleven in the human path, and six in the god path. Finally, it mentions the locations of existence: "Three, five, eleven, and four." This means that there are three locations of existence in hell, five in the animal path, eleven in the human path, and four in the god path.
**Comparison:**
* In the _Karmakanda_ of the _Gommatasara_, there are eleven locations of existence in the human path, while in the _Gommatasara_ _Karmakanda_, there are twelve locations of existence.
* In the _Karmagrantha_, there are six locations of arising in the god path, while in the _Gommatasara_ _Karmakanda_, there are five.
