## Chapter on Seven Tika
**Word Meaning - Seed Covering - Second Covering - Vision Covering:**
In the nine-fold bondage, four or five arise, nine exist. In the six and four bondage, the arising and existence are as before. In the four bondage and four arising, six exist. And when the bondage is broken, four or five arise, nine exist. Four arising, six and four exist.
**Verse Meaning:**
When the nine-fold bondage of the Vision Covering occurs, four or five arise and nine exist. When the six and four-fold bondage occurs, the arising and existence are as before. When there is four-fold bondage and four-fold arising, six exist. And when the bondage is broken, four or five arise and nine exist. When there is four-fold arising, six and four exist.
**Special Meaning:**
The verse discusses the various types of breaking of the Vision Covering karma.
The bondage of the nine-fold Vision Covering occurs in the first and second stages of false belief and the stage of destruction of the qualities. At that time, four or five arise and nine exist - "In the seed covering, in the nine-fold bondage, four or five arise, nine exist." In the four-fold arising stage, only the four Dharmic arising qualities, such as the Vision Covering of the eye, are taken into account. The five-fold arising stage is obtained by adding one of the sleep qualities to the four Dharmic arising qualities. Thus, in the nine-fold bondage of the Vision Covering karma, two types of breaking are obtained, with nine-fold existence and arising.
