[1.9-2.13] The location of the *jiva*’s *sthāna* (location) is explained in detail by nine *sūtras* (aphorisms).
[277] Now, the explanation of this is given by nine *sūtras*.
There are nine *sthānas* (locations) – *nidrānidrā*, *prayalāprayalā*, *sthānagriddhi*, *nidrā*, *prayalā*, *chakshudarśanāvaraṇīya*, *achakshudarśanāvaraṇīya*, *avhidarśanāvaraṇīya*, and *kevaladarśanāvaraṇīya*. This is the first *bandhasthāna* (bond-location). || 8 ||
In the *darśanāvaraṇīya karma* (karma that obscures vision), the three *bandhasthānas* are *nidrānidrā*, *prayalāprayalā*, and *sthānagriddhi*. Excluding these three, the remaining six are *nidrā*, *prayalā*, *chakshudarśanāvaraṇīya*, *achakshudarśanāvaraṇīya*, *avhidarśanāvaraṇīya*, and *kevaladarśanāvaraṇīya*. This is the second *bandhasthāna*. || 11 ||
The *jiva* who binds these six *prakr̥tis* (substances) is in one state of being. || 12 ||
The owner of this second *bandhasthāna* of six *prakr̥tis* is either *samyagmithyādṛṣṭi* (one who has both right and wrong views), *asanyatasamyagdṛṣṭi* (one who has right views but is not restrained), *sanyatāsanyata* (one who is both restrained and unrestrained), or *sanyata* (one who is restrained). || 13 ||
Here, in the *sūtra*, the word “*sanyata*” should be understood to include all those who are restrained in the first part of the seven parts of *apūrvakaraṇa* (karma that creates new karma).
