The fourth Udvartadvāra discusses the question as to which are the possible classes in which a living being belonging to this or that class is born in its next birth. In this discussion Prajñāpanā uses the term udvṛtta for the death that takes place in any of the classes of living beings. But Satkhanḍāgama employs three terms udvṛtta, kälagata and cyuta in this context. It uses the term udvṛtta for the death of infernal beings, Bhavanavasi gods, Vanavyantara gods and Jyotiska gods; kalagata for the death of sub-human beings and human beings; and cyuta for the death of Vaimanika gods.2

This dvara discusses also the question as to which items from among dharmasravana (listening to religious preachings), bodha (cognition), śraddha (religious faith), matijñāna (sensory cognition), śrutajñāna (scriptural knowledge), vratagrahana (determination to practise vows), avadhijñāna (extra-sensory cognition of spatially and temporally distant physical objects), anagaratva (state of homeless monk), manaḥparyayajñāna (extra-sensory cognition of the mind), kevalajñina (omniscience) and siddhi (liberation) a living being after having born in a particular class can acquire.3
