The third chapter:
[175] There are as many islands and seas as there are hairs on a half-uddhara-pallya. A half-uddhara-pallya is filled with hairs that are cut off in a hundred years. Then, as each hair is removed from the half-uddhara-pallya, the time it takes for the space to become empty is called an adha-pallya-upam. Ten kodi-kodi adha-pallyas make one adha-sagara. Ten kodi-kodi adha-sagaras make one avasarpini. The utsarpini is also the same size.
With this adha-pallya, the karma-sthiti, bhava-sthiti, ayu-sthiti, and kaya-sthiti of naraki, tiryanch, deva, and manushya should be calculated. The sangraha-gatha also says:
"Vyavahar, uddhar, and adha, these three pallyas should be known. Vyavahar pallya is the cause of the number. The second is used to count the islands and seas. The third, adha-pallya, is used to account for the karma-sthiti."
8440. Just as there are these excellent and inferior states of humans, so too are there the same for tiryanch. [39]
8441. The yoni of tiryanch is called tiryanch-yoni. This means the birth obtained from the karma-udaya called tiryanch-gati. Those born in the tiryanch-yoni are called tiryanch-yonija. The excellent bhava-sthiti of these tiryanch-yonija is three pallya-upam, and the inferior bhava-sthiti is antarmuhurta. There are many variations in between.
Thus ends the third chapter of the Tattvarthavritti, known as Sarvarth Siddhi. [3]
