[2110 8 279~In the Anubhaga Adhyavasaya Sthanas, there are countless Lokas, and in each Anubhaga Adhyavasaya Sthan, there are countless Yogasthans, as per the Jagashreni. In this way, the increase in the number of Kshaya Adhyavasaya Sthanas should be understood in the third and subsequent Kshaya Adhyavasaya Sthanas. Just as the lowest Kshaya Adhyavasaya Sthanas have been described, so too should the Kshaya Adhyavasaya Sthanas of a higher time period be understood. And in this way, with each increase in time, the Kshaya Adhyavasaya Sthanas of the highest state, which is as vast as thirty Koti Koti Sagaras, should be understood. Ananta Bhaga Vridhi, Asankhya Bhaga Vridhi, Sankhya Bhaga Vridhi, Sankhya Guna Vridhi, Asankhya Guna Vridhi, and Ananta Guna Vridhi - these are the six stages of increase. Similarly, there are six types of decrease. When Ananta Bhaga Vridhi and Ananta Guna Vridhi are removed, there are four stages remaining. In this way, the transformation of all the Mula Prakrutis and their Uttar Prakrutis should be understood. All this together is called Bhava Parivartan. It is said:
3'All beings, due to their association with Mithyatva, have attained the Sthanas of Prakruti, Sthiti, Anubhaga, and Pradeshbandha, and wander in the Bhava Samsara.'
8 280. Those who have renounced the five types of Samsara mentioned above are liberated. The term 'Samsari' is used first in the Sutra because the term 'Mukta' is attained after Samsara.
Special Note: There are two main categories of Jivas - Samsari and Mukta. These categories are based on the bound and unbound states of the Jiva. In reality, these are two states of the Jiva. Initially, the Jiva is in the bound state, hence it is called Samsari. Later, when it becomes liberated, it is called Mukta. The Samsara of the Jiva is relative to the cause, therefore, five categories of Samsara are described based on this relativity - Dravya Samsara, Kshetra Samsara, Kala Samsara, Bhava Samsara, and Bhava Samsara. Their other name is Parivartan. The term Dravya refers to Karma and Anokarma, Kshetra refers to the regions of Lokakasha, Kala refers to the time related to Utsarpini and Avasarpini, Bhava refers to the states of the Jiva like Naraka, etc., and Bhava refers to the Yogas of the Jiva. 1.
