## Sixth Karma Granth: Verse 2
**Situation:** When a student is unable to benefit from the teachings and the Acharya feels distressed. To prevent this situation and ensure the student understands the Acharya's teachings properly, the word "Suṇ" (listen) is used in the verse.
**Introduction:** After explaining the subject matter of the Granth, we now begin the text. The subject matter of the Granth is to briefly explain the Bandha, Udaya, and Satva Prakriti Sthanas (states of nature). Therefore, the student asks the Acharya a question to satisfy their curiosity:
**Verse:**
"Kai bandhato veyah kah kar vaa bhangavigappa muluttarpagai
Payadittaanaani. Bodhava." || 2 ||
**Word Meaning:**
* Kai: How many
* Bandhato: Bind
* Veyah: Experience
* Kah kar: How many
* Vaa: Or
* Paryatithaanaani: States of nature
* Salusaraai: Original and subsequent natures
* Bhangavigappa: Variations
* U: And
* Bodhava: Should know
**Verse Meaning:**
How many natures bind the living being, and how many natures does it experience? How many natures bind and experience, and how many natures are its Satva (state of being)? Therefore, one should know the many variations in the original and subsequent natures.
**Special Meaning:**
The subject matter of the Granth is to explain the Bandha (binding), Udaya (arising), and Satva (state of being) Prakriti Sthanas (states of nature). Therefore, the student raises a question about how many natures are bound, how many arise during binding, etc. The Acharya answers the student's question by saying that one should know the many variations in the original and subsequent natures. This means that there are many variations in the original and subsequent natures of Karma (actions).
