## Chapter 466: Bandha - Samitt-Vichyo (Discussions on Bandha)
[3, 4]
**Sanayata**, **Aparamatta-Sanayata**, **Apuurva-Karana-Pravisht** **Upshamak** and **Kshapak**, **Anivriti-Badar-Samparayik-Pravisht** **Upshamak** and **Kshapak**, **Sookshma-Samparayik-Pravisht** **Upshamak** and **Kshapak**, **Upshantak-Kshaya-Vitrag-Chhadmasth**, **Ksheen-Kshaya-Vitrag-Chhadmasth**, **Sayogik-Kevali** and **Ayogik-Kevali**; these are the fourteen **Jiva-Samas** (categories of souls). || 3 ||
Remembering the nature of these fourteen **Jiva-Samas**, the following Sutra explains the nature of **Prakriti-Bandha-Swamitva** (ownership of karmic bondage).
**Edesi-Choddasah-Jiva-Samasanam Payadi-Bandha-Vichchedo Kadavvo Bhavadi** || 4 ||
The **Prakriti-Bandha-Vichcheda** (destruction of karmic bondage) related to these fourteen **Jiva-Samas** is explained. || 4 ||
It should be understood that the **Bandhak** (owner of karmic bondage) of a **Prakriti** (karmic matter) is only up to the **Gunasthan** (stage of spiritual development) where its **Bandha-Vichcheda** (destruction of bondage) occurs. It does not have bondage in the **Gunasthan** beyond that.
Therefore, the destruction of **Karma-Prakritis** (karmic matter) is explained here based on these fourteen **Gunasthanas**.
**Panch Nana-Avaraniyaanam Chaduhnham Darshana-Avaraniyaanam Jasakitti Uchcha-Agoda-Panchanham Antara-Iyaanam Ko Bandho Ko Abandho?** || 5 ||
Which of these sixteen **Prakritis** - five **Jnana-Avaraniya** (knowledge obscurations), four **Darshana-Avaraniya** (perception obscurations), **Yasha** (fame), **Kirti** (reputation), **Uchcha-Gothra** (high lineage), and five **Antarayas** (hindrances) - are **Bandhak** (owned) and which are **Abandhak** (not owned)? || 5 ||
The word "**Bandha**" here refers to the **Bandhak** (owner of karmic bondage).
**Michcha-Ditthi Pahudi Javo Suhum-Samparaiy-Sudhi-Sanjadesu Uvasama Khava Bandha. Suhum-Samparaiy-Sudhi-Sanjad Ddhaae Charim-Samayam Gantun Bandho Vochchijjadi. Ede Bandha, Avsesa Abandho.** || 6 ||
From **Michcha-Ditthi** (wrong belief) up to **Sookshma-Samparayik-Sudhi-Sanjayata** (subtle, universal, pure, restrained, and pacified), the above-mentioned **Jivas** are **Bandhak** (owners) of the sixteen **Prakritis** like **Jnana-Avaraniya** etc. Their **Bandha** (bondage) is destroyed at the final moment of **Sookshma-Samparayik-Sudhi-Sanjayata**. These are **Bandhak** (owned), the rest are **Abandhak** (not owned). || 6 ||
**Nihaani-Dda - Payala-Payala-Theen Giddi - Ananta-Anubandhikoha - Maan - Maya - Lobh - Itthi-Vedatirikkha-U - Tirikkha-Gai - Chausthaan - Chausanghadana Tirikkha-Gai-Paoggana-Upuvi-Ujjavo - Appasath-Vihayagai Dubhag - Dusar - Anadejj - Neecha-Godaanam Ko Bandho Ko Abandho?** || 7 ||
Which of these twenty-five **Prakritis** - **Nidra-Nidra** (sleep-wakefulness), **Prachala-Prachala** (restlessness-stillness), **Sthyan-Giddhi** (laziness-greed), **Ananta-Anubandhi-Krodha** (infinitely connected anger), **Maan** (pride), **Maya** (deceit), **Lobh** (greed), **Stri-Ved** (attachment to women), **Tirikkha-Ayu** (animal life), **Tirikkha-Gati** (animal path), **Nyagrodha-Parimandala-Sansthan** etc. four **Sansthanas** (abodes), **Vajra-Naraacha-Sanhanan** etc. four **Sanhananas** (combinations), **Tirikkha-Gati-Prayoggana-Upuvi-Ujjavo** (previous practice of animal path), **Appasath-Vihayagai** (unsuitable liberation path), **Dubhag** (misfortune), **Duswar** (bad voice), **Anadejj** (unworthy), and **Neecha-Gothra** (low lineage) - are **Bandhak** (owned) and which are **Abandhak** (not owned)? || 7 ||
**Michcha-Ditthi Sasana-Samm-Aitthi Bandha. Ede Bandha, Avsesa Abandho.** || 8 ||
**Michcha-Ditthi** (wrong belief) and **Sasana-Samm-Aitthi** (wrong belief in scriptures) are **Bandhak** (owned). These are **Bandhak** (owned), the rest are **Abandhak** (not owned). || 8 ||
