**The Dharma for householders leads to:**

2. **Ultimate liberation** through tradition.
**The Dharma for monks leads to:**
1. **Immediate liberation.**
**This Dharma is only attainable in a human body, not in other births.**
**Human birth is difficult to obtain and is full of suffering.**
**Living beings wander through the four realms of existence (hell, animal, human, and celestial) due to their karma.**
**One-sensed beings (with only the sense of touch) wander for a long time in the bodies of earth, water, fire, air, and plants.**
**There are countless beings who are stained by karma and have not yet attained liberation. They remain in the Nigoda state.**
**These beings wander through 84 lakh (8.4 million) types of births and countless families.**
**Note:** The terms "Nigoda" and "Sallekhana" are specific to Jainism and refer to states of existence and a form of voluntary death, respectively.
