The sixth _karmagrantha_ (text on karma) discusses the characteristics of the breaking of the _uparatbandha_ (upper bondage) in relation to human existence. It states that in _tiyanchgaati_ (animal realm), the existence of _narakayu_ (hellish life), _tiryanchyaayu_ (animal life), and _manushyaayu_ (human life) is possible up to the fifth _gunasthan_ (stage of spiritual progress), while in human existence, the existence of these three is possible up to the seventh _aprammat_ (non-distracted) _gunasthan_. There is a difference of opinion regarding this.
Devendrasuri, in the second _karmagrantha_ called 'Karmastava', in the section on 'Sattaadhikār' (right to existence), writes that from the first to the eleventh _gunasthan_, the existence of 148 _prakritis_ (karmic substances) is possible, except for the second and third _gunasthan_. Further, in the same text, he writes that from the fourth to the seventh _gunasthan_, there are 141 _prakritis_ possible due to the removal of the four _anantaanubandhi_ (infinitely binding) _tuska_ (karmic particles) and the destruction of _darshanamohatrik_ (karmic particles related to perception and delusion). In the remaining four _gunasthan_ (first, second, third, and fourth), there are 142 _prakritis_ possible without the six _prakritis_ of the four _anantaanubandhi_ _tuska_, _narakayu_, and _tiryanchyaayu_.
The essence of the above statement is that: 1. The existence of all four types of life is possible up to the eleventh _gunasthan_ in relation to the _uparatbandha_. 2. The existence of _narakayu_, _tiryanchyaayu_, and _manushyaayu_ is possible up to the seventh _gunasthan_ in relation to the _uparatbandha_. Thus, two opinions arise.
The second opinion is supported by the _Panchasangraha_ (Five Collections) in the section called 'Saptaatika-Sangraha', verse 106, and the commentary on the _Brihatkarmastava_. However, the sixth verse of the same section in the _Panchasangraha_ presents a different opinion, stating that the existence of _narakayu_ is possible up to the fourth _gunasthan_, and the existence of _tiryanchyaayu_ is possible up to the fifth _gunasthan_.
