Chhakkhandagama. The four anantānubandhi kasāyas also do not bind, so the samyagmithyādṛṣṭi and asaṃyatasamyagdṛṣṭi jīvas bind the remaining seventeen prakṛtis. It is also known here that the said two jīvas do not bind the strīveda as well, but not binding it does not make any difference in the number of prakṛtis. The saṃyatāsaṃyata jīvas bind the remaining thirteen prakṛtis, excluding the apratyākhyānāvaraṇa kasāya caturka from the said seventeen prakṛtis. Out of these thirteen prakṛtis, the pramattas aṃyata, apramattas aṃyata and apūrvakaraṇasaṃyata, these three types of saṃyatas bind the remaining nine prakṛtis, excluding the pratyākhyānāvaraṇa caturka. The anivṛttikaraṇasaṃyata binds the five prakṛtis of puruṣaveda and saṃcalana kasāya caturka. Further, the navamagunasthānavartī anivṛttikaraṇasaṃyata alone binds the remaining four prakṛtis of saṃjvalana caturka, excluding saṃcalana krodha, the remaining three prakṛtis, excluding saṃjvalana māna, the remaining two prakṛtis, and the remaining one prakṛti, excluding saṃjvalana māyā.
The four prakṛtis of āyukarma have four separate binding places - the first is for the mithyādṛṣṭi who binds nāraka āyu, the second is for the mithyādṛṣṭi and sāsādana samyagdṛṣṭi who bind tiryañca āyu, the third is for the mithyādṛṣṭi, sāsādana samyagdṛṣṭi and asaṃyatasamyagdṛṣṭi who bind manuṣya āyu, and the fourth is for the mithyādṛṣṭi, sāsādana samyagdṛṣṭi, asaṃyatasamyagdṛṣṭi, saṃyatāsaṃyata and the saṃyatas up to the seventh gunasthāna who bind deva āyu. The samyagmithyādṛṣṭi jīvas of the third gunasthāna do not bind any āyu.
Although there are 93 prakṛtis by the distinction of nāmakarma and 42 by the non-distinction, not all of them are bound by a single jīva at the same time. But a jīva can bind up to a maximum of 31 prakṛtis and at least one prakṛti. Therefore, the binding places of nāmakarma are 8 - 31, 30, 29, 28, 26, 25, 23 and 1 prakṛtis. Due to the fear of elaboration, the description of the prakṛtis of all these places and the faults of those who bind them is not given here. The readers will themselves experience the importance and vastness of this cūlikā by studying it. In brief, it should be known here that the binding of the one prakṛti of yaśaskīrti occurs in the sūkṣmasāmparāyasaṃyata of the tenth gunasthāna. The binding of the remaining seven places is done by the ekendriyas up to the pañcendriyas, as well as the devas, nāraka and up to the ninth gunasthāna.
There are only two binding places for gotrakarma - out of them, the binding of nīcagotras is done by the jīvas of the first and second gunasthānas, and the binding of ucchagotras is done by the jīvas from the first to the tenth gunasthāna.
