## Introduction
### Third Section
This section discusses the various types of owners of bondage, i.e., the beings who bind different types of karmas. Therefore, the name "Bondage Ownership Discussion" is appropriate.
This section first uses the concept of "Gunasthanas" (stages of spiritual progress) to explain which beings bind which types of karmas and up to which Gunasthan they are found. It also explains where the bondage of those karmas is severed. For example, the five types of "Jnanavarana" (knowledge obscuration) and the four types of "Darshanavarana" (perception obscuration), including "Chakshudarshanavarana" (eye perception obscuration), along with the five types of "Yasha" (fame), "Kirti" (reputation), "Uchchagotra" (high lineage), and "Antaraya" (obstacles) - these sixteen types of karmas are bound by beings from the first Gunasthan to the tenth Gunasthan. The bondage of all these karmas is severed at the end of the tenth Gunasthan. Therefore, beings up to the tenth Gunasthan are the owners of the bondage of these sixteen types of karmas. Beings residing in Gunasthanas above the tenth are free from bondage. In this way, all the types of karmas that can be bound are described, stating that their bondage occurs up to a certain Gunasthan and not beyond.
This section can be summarized in another way: Out of the 148 types of karmas, only 120 are capable of being bound, while the remaining are not. This is because the five "Bandhanas" (bondages) and the five "Sanghatas" (aggregates) - these ten types of karmas are always bound with the body. Therefore, by including them within the body, these ten types are reduced. Similarly, the five "Rupa" (forms), five "Rasa" (tastes), two "Gandha" (smells), and eight "Sparsha" (touches) - these twenty types are considered as only four types when viewed from the perspective of "Rupa, Rasa, Gandha, Sparsha" in general. Therefore, these sixteen types are reduced. The "Darshanamohaniya" (perception-obscuring) karma does not have bondage of "Samyagmithyatva" (right-wrong perception) and "Samyaktva" (right perception) types. It only has "Udaya" (arising) and "Sattva" (existence). Therefore, these two types are reduced. In this way, by subtracting (5 + 5 + 16 + 2 = 28) twenty-eight types from 148, the remaining 120 types are capable of being bound.
Out of these, the bondage of the following sixteen types occurs only up to the first Gunasthan and not beyond: 1) "Mithyatva" (false perception), 2) "Hundakasanstahan" (state of being a fool), 3) "Napumsakaved" (knowledge of the impotent), 4) "Sripatikasanhanan" (accumulation of the body of a serpent), 5) "Ekendirijati" (one-sense being), 6) "Sthavar" (stationary being), 7) "Atap" (heat), 8) "Sukshma" (subtle), 9) "Sadharan" (ordinary), 10) "Aparayapta" (insufficient), 11) "Dwindrijati" (two-sense being), 12) "Triendrijati" (three-sense being), 13) "Chaturindrijati" (four-sense being), 14) "Narakagati" (hellish state), 15) "NarakagatyAnupurvi" (following the hellish state), 16) "Narakayu" (hellish body). Therefore, the owners of the bondage of these types are only beings with "Mithyadristi" (false perception). Beings above this level are free from bondage.
_The four "Kashayas" (poisons) - "Anantanubandhi" (infinitely connected) "Krodha" (anger), "Mana" (pride), "Maya" (deceit), "Lobha" (greed), the three "Nidra" (sleep) - "Styanagridhi" (laziness and greed), "Nidra-Nidra" (sleep-sleep), "Prachala-Prachala" (restlessness-restlessness), the three "Durbhag" (misfortune), "Dushwar" (bad voice), "Anadeya" (unworthy), and the four "Nyagrodhaparimandala" (like the banyan tree) etc. ..._
