## Translation:
**Verse:**
The **Anivritti** stage binds eighteen **Prakritis** (principles), starting with twenty-two and decreasing one by one. The **Sukshmarupa** stage binds all the **Prakritis** together. The **Upshanshi** and **Kevali** stages, with their **Gunasthanas**, bind only seven **Prakritis**.
**Commentary:**
The first part of the **Anivritti** stage binds twenty-two **Prakritis**. This is because, although the eighth **Apuurvakarana Gunasthan** binds twenty-six **Prakritis**, the last moment of this stage sees the detachment of four **Prakritis** - **Hasya** (laughter), **Rati** (love), **Bharat** (attachment), and **Jugupsa** (aversion). Therefore, the first moment of the ninth **Gunasthan** binds twenty-two **Prakritis**.
Subsequently, at the end of the first part, **Purushamev** detaches, followed by **Sanjwalan Krodha** at the end of the second part, **Sanjwalan Mana** at the end of the third part, and **Sanchalan Maya** at the end of the fourth part. This leads to the binding of eighteen **Prakritis** in the fifth part.
Therefore, the **Anivritti** stage has five parts, with twenty-two **Prakritis** bound initially. Then, at the end of each part, one **Prakriti** detaches, resulting in the binding of twenty-one, twenty, nineteen, and eighteen **Prakritis** respectively. The verse highlights this: "Twenty-two, one less, binding eighteen, the remaining."
However, when **Sanjwalan Lobha** detaches at the end of the fifth part of the **Anivritti** stage, the tenth **Sukshmasampray Gunasthan** binds seventeen **Prakritis**: "Seventeen, the **Sukshmasampray**."
