8437. भरत, ऐरावत और विदेह ये प्रत्येक पाँच-पाँच है। ये सब कर्मभूमियाँ कही जाती हैं। इनमें विदेहका ग्रहण किया है, इसलिए देवकुरु और उत्तरकुरुका भी ग्रहण प्राप्त होता . है, अतः उनका निषेध करनेके लिए 'अन्यत्र देवकुरूत्तरकुरुभ्यः' यह पद रखा है। अन्यत्र शब्दका अर्थ निषेध है । देवकुरु, उत्तरकुरु, हैमवत, हरिवर्ष, रम्यक, हैरण्यवत और अन्तर्वीप ये भोगभूमियाँ कही जाती हैं । शंका-कर्मभूमि यह संज्ञा कैसे प्राप्त होती है ? समाधान-जो शुभ और अशभ कर्मोंका आश्रय हो उसे कर्मभूमि कहते हैं । यद्यपि तीनों लोक कर्मका आश्रय हैं, फिर भी इससे उत्कृष्टताका ज्ञान होता है कि ये प्रकर्ष रूपसे कर्मका आश्रय हैं। सातवें नरकको प्राप्त करनेवाले अशुभ कर्मका भरतादि क्षेत्रोंमें ही अर्जन किया जाता है। इसो प्रकार सर्वार्थसिद्धि आदि स्थान विशेषको प्राप्त करानेवाले पुण्य कर्मका उपार्जन भी यहीं पर होता है । तथा पात्रदान आदिके साथ कृषि आदि छह प्रकारके कर्मका आरम्भ यहीं पर होता है, इसलिए भरतादिककी कर्मभूमि संज्ञा जाननी चाहिए। इतर क्षेत्रोंमें दस प्रकारके कल्पवृक्षोंसे प्राप्त भोगोंकी मुख्यता है, इसलिए वे भोगभूमियाँ कहलाती हैं।
विशेषार्थ-यह पहले ही बतला आये हैं कि भरतादि क्षेत्रोंका विभाग ढाई द्वीपमें ही है। जम्बूद्वीपमें भरतादि क्षेत्र एक-एक हैं और धातकोखण्ड व पुष्करार्धमें ये दो-दो हैं। इस प्रकार कुल क्षेत्र 35 होते हैं । उसमें भी उत्तरकुरु और देवकुरु विदेह क्षेत्रमें होकर भी अलग गिने जाते हैं, क्योंकि यहाँ उत्तम भोगभूमिकी व्यवस्था है, इसलिए पाँच विदेहोंके पाँच देवकुरु और पाँच उत्तरकुरु इनको उक्त 35 क्षेत्रोंमें मिलानेपर कुल 45 क्षेत्र होते हैं । इनमें से 5 भरत, 1. भरतरावतविदेहाश्च मु., ता., ना.। 2. हरिवंशः रम्य-आ., दि. 1, दि. 21 3, सर्वो लोकत्रितयः कर्मआ., दि. 1, दि. 21 4. एक प्रक- मु.। 5, शुभस्य सर्वा- मु.। 6 -ध्यादिषु स्थान- आ., दि. 1, दि. 21 7. पणस्य पुण्यकर्म- मु.।

[3137 8 437] Chapter Three
[173 $ 436. What are the Karmabhoomis? Now, to explain this, it is said:
Bharata, Airavata, and Videha are the Karmabhoomis, excluding Devakuru and Uttarakuru. ||37|| 8437. Bharata, Airavata, and Videha, each five in number, are called Karmabhoomis. The inclusion of 'Videha' implies the inclusion of Devakuru and Uttarakuru, hence to negate that, it is said, "excluding Devakuru and Uttarakuru." The word 'excluding' signifies negation. Devakuru, Uttarakuru, Haimavat, Harivarsha, Ramyak, Hairanyavat, and Antarvipa are called Bhogabhoomis. Now, how do they become Karmabhoomis? Because they are the abode of auspicious and inauspicious Karmas. But, all three realms are the abode of Karma. Therefore, it is understood that these are the abode of Karma in a superior way. Now, the acquisition of inauspicious Karma, which leads to the seven Narakas, happens only in Bharata and other such realms. Similarly, the acquisition of auspicious Karma, which leads to the attainment of special places like Sarvarthasiddhi, also happens here. And, the initiation of six types of Karma, like agriculture, along with the giving of gifts, happens here, hence Bharata and other such realms should be known as Karmabhoomis. Other realms are primarily concerned with the enjoyment of the fruits of ten types of Kalpavriksha, hence they are called Bhogabhoomis.

There are two types of Aryas: Karmabhoomi Aryas and Akarmabhoomi Aryas. Those who live in the Bhogabhoomis are Akarmabhoomi Aryas, and those who live in the Karmabhoomis are Karmabhoomi Aryas. Akarmabhoomi Aryas and Mlechchas can attain up to four Gunasthanas, but Karmabhoomi Aryas and Mlechchas are also eligible for Anuvrata and Mahavrata. The detailed explanation of their Sayamasamyama and Samyama Gunasthanas is given in the Kshaya Prabhruta Labdhi Saar and Kshapana Saar.

8436. Now, to explain what the Karmabhoomis are, the next Sutra says:
Except for Devakuru and Uttarakuru, Bharata, Airavata, and Videha are all Karmabhoomis. ||37||

8437. Bharata, Airavata, and Videha, each five in number, are called Karmabhoomis. The inclusion of 'Videha' implies the inclusion of Devakuru and Uttarakuru, hence to negate that, the phrase "excluding Devakuru and Uttarakuru" is used. The word 'excluding' signifies negation. Devakuru, Uttarakuru, Haimavat, Harivarsha, Ramyak, Hairanyavat, and Antarvipa are called Bhogabhoomis.

**Question:** How do they become Karmabhoomis?

**Answer:** The abode of auspicious and inauspicious Karmas is called Karmabhoomi. Although all three realms are the abode of Karma, these are the abode of Karma in a superior way. The acquisition of inauspicious Karma, which leads to the seven Narakas, happens only in Bharata and other such realms. Similarly, the acquisition of auspicious Karma, which leads to the attainment of special places like Sarvarthasiddhi, also happens here. And, the initiation of six types of Karma, like agriculture, along with the giving of gifts, happens here, hence Bharata and other such realms should be known as Karmabhoomis. Other realms are primarily concerned with the enjoyment of the fruits of ten types of Kalpavriksha, hence they are called Bhogabhoomis.

**Note:** It has already been explained that the division of Bharata and other such realms is only in the two and a half Dvipas. In Jambudvipa, there is one each of Bharata and other such realms, and in Dhaatukokhand and Pushkarardha, there are two each. Thus, there are a total of 35 realms. Even though Uttarakuru and Devakuru are within the Videha realm, they are counted separately because they have a superior Bhogabhoomi system. Therefore, when we add the five Devakurus and five Uttarakurus to the five Videhas, the total number of realms becomes 45. Out of these, 5 are Bharata, 1. Bharataravatavidehaasch Mu., Ta., Na. 2. Harivansha: Ramya-A., Di. 1, Di. 21 3, Sarvo Lokatritaya: Karma-A., Di. 1, Di. 21 4. Ek Prak- Mu. 5, Shubhasya Sarva- Mu. 6 -Dhyaadishu Sthan- A., Di. 1, Di. 21 7. Panasya Punyakarma- Mu.
