Transition and Reception of Group of Species : (67)
CHAPTER 12
12.
Transition of Species: (b) Transition and Reception of Group of Species
The five positions of sub-species of deluding karma, viz. 28, 24, 17,
16 and 15 do not undergo transition in group. The rest 23 positions viz. 27, 25, 26, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 do undergo group transitions.
There are eighteen positions of reception of species (out of 28 of deluding karma), which exclude the following ten groups: 16, 12, 8, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28. Thus, there are eighteen receptor groups in the form of 22, 21, 19, 18, 17, 15, 14, 13, 11, 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 species. The rest ten groups of species are non-receptor positions. The maximum number of bonding species of deluding karma is 22 only. The six excluded are 2 libidos (only one is bonded at any time, 2 of the two pairs (liking disliking, laughter-sorrow) and righteousness and RWF. Hence, there cannot be receptor positions above 22. There are four other such positions in addition to them making the total of ten.
