## Chapter Seven
**Meaning:** The binding, arising, and existence aspects of the **Bandhodaya** (binding and arising) are explained in terms of **Maanavaran** (knowledge obscuration) and **Antaray** (hindrance) karmas. There are five (**Panch**) aspects of each. Even in the absence of binding (**Bandhovarme**), the arising and existence of these five aspects remain the same (**Tatha**).
**Verse Meaning:** The binding, arising, and existence aspects of **Maanavaran** and **Antaray** karmas are five each. Even in the absence of binding, the arising and existence of these five aspects remain the same due to their inherent nature.
**Detailed Meaning:** Previously, the general nature of the fundamental karmas and their dissolution in relation to the **Jiva** (soul) and **Gunasthan** (quality-places) were explained. Now, this verse begins the explanation of the dissolution of the secondary aspects of these fundamental karmas.
There are eight fundamental karmas: **Maanavaran**, **Darshanavaran**, **Vedaniya**, **Mohaniya**, **Aayu**, **Naam**, **Gotra**, and **Antaray**. These have five, nine, two, twenty-eight, four, forty-two, two, and five secondary aspects respectively. These secondary aspects are called the **Uttar Prakriti** (secondary nature) of the fundamental karmas. Their names and details are discussed in the first **Karmagranth** (text on karma). This verse explains the dissolution of the secondary aspects of **Maanavaran** and **Antaray** karmas.
The five secondary aspects of **Maanavaran** and the five secondary aspects of **Antaray**, totaling ten, bind up to the tenth **Sukshmasampray** (subtle) **Gunasthan**. Their binding is dissolved at the end of the tenth **Gunasthan**, and their arising and existence are dissolved at the end of the twelfth **Gunasthan**.
The five aspects of **Maanavaran** and the five aspects of **Antaray** bind up to the **Sukshmasampray** **Gunasthan**. Even in the absence of binding, their arising and existence remain the same in the **Upshantamoh** (subdued delusion) and **Kshigamoha** (diminished delusion) states. They remain five aspects each.
