(mithyatva, samyagmithyatva and samyaktva) or darsana mohaniya karma and four prakritis of caritra mohaniya karma. Samyagdrati jiva tramsmigrates at the most for three bhavas where he stays without any attachment.

5. Desa samyata shows the trend of the soul for adopting partial vows prescribed for a layman. Here the soul observes the conduct and ends his life by sallekhana.

6. Pramattasamyata gunasthana onward relates to the ascetic order. Here the soul observes the ascetic conduct but mild passions make him impure. He thus becomes pramatta from apramatta and apramatta from pramatta.

The tadbhavamoksagami, atadbhavamoksagami, aupasemika samyagdrsti and ksayika samyagdrsti jivas ascend the upasamasreni while the ksapakasreni can be utilized by only tadbhava and atadbhava moksagami jivas. Upasamasenivarti jiva is bound to fall down from the 11th gunasthana to even first gunasthana but the ksapakasrenivarti jiva goes ahead to the 7th gunasthana. It is also called nivrtti gunasthana. Here only two causes of Karmabandha remain-ksaya and yoga.
