[276] In the **Chakkhandagama**, the **Jiva**'s **Tthana** (abode)
[1,9-2,3] Now, to describe the nature and number of these **Tthana**s, the **Uttara Sutra** says:
That **Prakriti Tthana** is of the **Mithyadristi**, **Sasadan Samyagdristi**, **Samyag Mithyadristi**, **Asanjat Samyagdristi**, **Sanjat Asanjat**, or **Sanjat** [3].
That **Tthana**, i.e., **Prakriti Tthana**, is of the **Mithyadristi**, or **Sasadan Samyagdristi**, or **Samyag Mithyadristi**, or **Asanjat Samyagdristi**, or **Sanjat Asanjat**, or **Sanjat**, because there are no other **Bandhakas** (binders) except these. Here, the word **Sanjat** should be understood to include all eight **Sanjat Gunasthanas** from **Pramattasanjat** to **Sayogika Kevali**, because there is no difference in their **Sanjat** nature. The **Ayogika Kevali Gunasthan** is not included here, because **Bandha** is not possible there.
The **Jnana Avaraniya Karma** has five **Payadis** (natures): **Abhinibodhika Jnana Avaraniya**, **Shruta Jnana Avaraniya**, **Avadhi Jnana Avaraniya**, **Manahparyaya Jnana Avaraniya**, and **Kevala Jnana Avaraniya** [4].
These five **Payadis** are bound in the **Jiva** in a single state [5].
The **Jiva** who binds these five **Payadis** has a single **Tthana**, i.e., **Avasthana**, denoted by the number 'five'. This means that the binding of these five **Payadis** occurs simultaneously due to a specific **Parinam** (transformation).
That **Bandha Tthana** is of the **Mithyadristi**, **Sasadan Samyagdristi**, **Samyag Mithyadristi**, **Asanjat Samyagdristi**, **Sanjat Asanjat**, or **Sanjat** [6].
Here, the word '**Sanjat**' should be understood to include only **Sanjat** **Jivas** up to **Sukshma Samparayika Sanjat**, because **Jivas** above this level do not bind that **Jnana Avaraniya Karma**.
The **Darshan Avaraniya Karma** has three **Bandha Tthana**s: **Navanham** (nine **Prakriti**s), **Chhandam** (six **Prakriti**s), and **Chaundam** (four **Prakriti**s) [7].
