## Chapter Nine
Kushila, while not contradicting the fundamental virtues, contradicts some of the secondary virtues. There is no contradiction for those who have shed the bonds of passions, Kushila, Nirgrantha, and Snataka.
8915. All Nirgranthas are Tirthas in the Tirthas of all Tirthankaras.
8916. Linga is of two types: Dravyalinga and Bhavalinga. All five Nirgranthas are Lingins with respect to Bhavalinga. They are differentiated with respect to Dravyalinga, which refers to their physical characteristics like height, color, and hair.
8917. Leshya: Pulaka has three Leshyas ahead of it. Bakush and Pratiseshana-Kushila have six Leshyas each. Kashayakushila has four Leshyas at the end. Sukshmasampray, Kashayakushila, Nirgrantha, and Snataka have only the white Leshya. A yogi has no Leshya.
8918. Upapad: Pulaka's highest Upapad is in the Sahasrar Kalpa, among the Devas who reside in the highest state. Bakush and Pratiseshana-Kushila's highest Upapad is in the Aran and Achyut Kalpas, among the Devas who reside in the state of twenty-two Sagaropama. Kashayakushila and Nirgrantha's highest Upapad is in the Sarvarthasiddhi, among the Devas who reside in the state of thirty-three Sagaropama. The lowest Upapad for all of them is in the Saudharma Kalpa, among the Devas who reside in the state of two Sagaropama. And the Snataka attains liberation.
8919. Sthan: There are countless Sanyamasthans caused by passions. The lowest Labdhisthans are for Pulaka and Kashayakushila. They both go through countless Sthans together. After that, Pulaka's Vyuchchitti happens. Then, Kashayakushila goes through countless Sthans alone. After that, Kashayakushila, Pratiseshana-Kushila, and Bakush go through countless Sthans together. Here, Bakush's Vyuchchitti happens. After that, they go through countless Sthans together.

1. षडपि । How do they have three Leshyas, including the black Leshya? It is said that because of their involvement in the battle of the senses, they may sometimes experience Artadhyana. And through Artadhyana, the three Leshyas, including the black Leshya, are possible. Kashay - Mu.
