3. In Santara Dvāra the question as to whether or not there is temporal gap between any two successive births or any two successive deaths taking place in those classes. The answer given is that there is as well as is not the gap. Those very classes that are considered in the first two Dvaras are also considered here. The exception to the above-mentioned general rule is found in the case of only earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, air-bodied and vegetation-bodied. In these five classes successive births as well as successive deaths do not allow any temporal gap to intervene between them. In other words, in connection with these five classes upapāta and udvartană are nirantara. The alternative of sāntara is not accepted in connection with these five classes (617-618, 625). In the first two Dvāras we are told that in each of the classes there are periods that are devoid of any birth and there are periods that are devoid of any death. And in this Dvāra we are told that it is also possible that there is no temporal gap between any two successive births as also between
