-2112 6 284] And by doing this, the inclusion of 'samsari' at the beginning becomes appropriate. It also serves the purpose of a good answer in relation to the previous sutra. Those samsaris are of two types - trasas and sthavaras. Those who have the rise of the trasanama karma are trasas. Those who have the rise of the sthavaranāma karma are sthavaras. If it is said that 'trasyaanti' means those who move are trasas and those who are stationary are sthavaras, then this is not correct, because it contradicts the Agama. In the Agama, it is stated that from the two-sense beings to the Aayogakevali, all beings are trasas, based on the transformation of the body. Therefore, the distinction between trasas and sthavaras is not based on movement or non-movement, but on the rise of karma. The word 'trasas' is included at the beginning because it has fewer letters than 'sthavaras' and is superior. It is superior because it is possible to find all its uses.
8 285. Since there is much to be said about the one-sense beings, the next sutra is stated to give knowledge of the types of sthavaras, leaving aside the order of the sutras.
Earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, air-bodied, and plant-bodied, these are the five sthavaras. ||13||
8 286. Earth-bodied etc. are the types of sthavaranāma karma. Due to their rise, the beings should be known by the names earth etc. Although these names are derived from the roots 'prathan' etc., they are conventional, therefore, there is no expectation of the qualities of 'prathan' etc. in them. The question arises: In the Aarsh, these earth etc. are said to be of four different types, how are these four types obtained? The answer is: Earth, earth-bodied, earth-bodied, and earth-being, these are the four types of earth. Of these, the one which is inanimate, formed by natural transformations, and has the quality of hardness is earth. Although it is inanimate, it is still considered to have the rise of the earth-nama karma because it is recognized by the action of 'prathan'. 1. It becomes. Samsa-Mu. 2.
