[413 8445 8445. 'Adit' is said, do not understand that the inclusion is at the end, in the middle, or otherwise. At the beginning, from the beginning. The term 'tri' is used to negate two and one. Why is it not used to negate four? Because of the word 'Adit'. Six Leshyas have been mentioned. To include four Leshyas, the term 'Pitaanta' is used. Pita means Tejas. Those who have Pita at the end are Pitaantas. Those who have Pitaanta Leshyas are Pitaantaleshyas. This means that in the three Nikayas of Bhavanvasi, Vyantara, and Jyotish, there are four Leshyas of Krishna, Neel, Kapota, and Pita for the Devas.
8446. To explain the internal variations of these Nikayas, it is said: Dashastapanchdwadashavikalpa, Kalpopapannaparyantah ||3||
8447. The four Deva Nikayas are to be understood as being related to the numbers ten, eight, five, and twelve respectively. Bhavanvasis are of ten types. Vyantaras are of eight types. Jyotishkas are of five types. Vaimanikas are of twelve types. Since all Vaimanikas are included in the twelve types, the qualifier 'Kalpopapannaparyantah' is used to negate Graiveyak etc. How is the term 'Kalpa' used? Indra etc. are ten types, which are considered in these.
8445. Do not understand that the inclusion is at the end, in the middle, or otherwise, for the three Nikayas at the end, the Nikayas in the middle. Therefore, the term 'Adit' is given in the Sutra. The term 'tri' is used to negate two and one Nikayas. The question is, why does the term 'tri' not negate four? The answer is, the term 'Adit' given in the Sutra indicates that the term 'tri' is not used to negate four. There are six Leshyas. To include four Leshyas, the term 'Pitaanta' is used in the Sutra. Here, Pita should be taken as Tejas Leshya. Here, first, there is a Bahuvrihi Samaas in the words Pita and Anta, and then in the words Pitaanta and Leshya. This means that in the three Nikayas of Bhavanvasi, Vyantara, and Jyotish, there are four Leshyas of Krishna, Neel, Kapota, and Pita for the Devas.
**Special Note:** Although there is only one Pita Leshya for Bhavanvasi, Vyantara, and Jyotish Devas, there is a rule that those who die with the middle portion of Krishna, Neel, and Kapota Leshyas are born as Mithyadrishti humans and Tiryanch in the Karmabhoomi, and those who die with the middle portion of Pita Leshya are born as Mithyadrishti humans and Tiryanch in the Bhogbhoomi in the Bhavan Trika. Since such humans and Tiryanch have the three inauspicious Leshyas at the beginning of their death, these three inauspicious Leshyas are also found in an insufficient state when they are born in the Bhavan Trika. This is why they are said to have four Leshyas, including Pita. The meaning is that in the Bhavan Trika, there are four Leshyas, including Pita, in an insufficient state, and one Pita Leshya in a sufficient state.
8446. Now, to show the internal differences of these Nikayas, the next Sutra says:
Those who are Kalpopapanna Deva, up to the four Nikayas of Devas, are of ten, eight, five, and twelve types respectively. ||3||
8447. There are four Deva Nikayas and four numbers, ten etc., so they should be understood in order. For example, Bhavanvasis are of ten types, Vyantaras are of eight types, Jyotishis are of five types, and Vaimanikas are of twelve types. From the previous statement, all Vaimanikas are included in the twelve types, so the term 'Kalpopapannaparyantah' is used in the Sutra to negate Graiveyak etc.
