## Chapter 22: Sevenfold Destruction
The duration of this destruction, both its gross and subtle phases, should be understood as being equal to the time of an antarmūhūrta, similar to the Aayogikevali Gunasthan.
Thus, there are seven types of sensory destruction in relation to the Mula Prakritis, compared to the Bandha, Udaya, and Satva Prakriti sthānas. Their details, including their Swāmi and Kāla, are given in the table on page 23.
After explaining the mutual sensory destructions of Bandha, Udaya, and Satva Prakriti sthānas in relation to the Bhūla Prakritis, we now explain these alternatives in the Jīva sthānas.
**Sattatthabandhatthavayasant terassu jīvaṭhāṇesu | Egammi yantra ganga ko bhanga hati ṇo || 4 ||**
**Meaning of the words:**
* Sattatthabandh - Bond of seven and eight,
* Atthavayasant - Eight Udaya,
* Baṭha - Eight Satva,
* Terassu - In thirteen,
* Jīvaṭhāṇesu - In Jīva sthānas,
* Egammi - In one (Paryāpta Saṃśī) Jīva sthāna,
* Pañcabhangā - Five destructions,
* Vare bhanga - Two destructions,
* Huti - Happen,
* Kevaliṇo - Of the Kevali.
**Meaning of the verse:**
In the thirteen Jīva sthānas, beginning with Ādi, there are two destructions each in the bond of seven and eight Prakritis, eight Prakritis Udaya, and eight Prakritis Satva. In the one-sense, five-sense, Paryāpta Jīva sthāna, there are five destructions from the beginning and two destructions at the end for the Kevalajnāni.
**Special meaning:**
The sensory destructions have been explained in the Jīva sthānas. The nature and differences of Jīva sthānas have been explained in the fourth Karmagrantha. Their brief summary is that Jīvas are infinite and their species are numerous, but their common equivalent form is called Jīva sthāna by collecting them through Dharmas, and fourteen of its types have been made.
