199. Excepting the mobiles in the condition of birth, (Upapáda) death bed and (Omniscient over flow) all the other mobiles do not exist out of the mobile channel. It has been said by the Conquerors.
GOMMATASARA.
Commentary.
An immobile soul out of the mobile channel, transmigrating to be born as a mobile, is during the passage, beginning from the first turn towards the mobile channel by operation of the mobile (body) making Karma, a mobile out of the mobile channel. This is Uppáda, condition prior to birth.

Samudgháta is the emanation of soul spatial units from the body without wholly discarding it. Seven kinds of these soul emanations are recognised in Jain philosophy, (Dravya Sangraha S.B. J. Vol. I. p. 29, and Commentary to Gatha 543).
G
Máranántika-Samudgháta (Death-bed-emanation) is the emanation, in some cases, of the soul spatial units shortly before death to the place where it is next going to incarnate. These soul units after touching their destination contract back to their former size and thereafter the soul leaves the body. If any mobile soul in the mobile channel is to take its next birth as an immobile outside the channel, and if before its death it performs the death-bed emanation, it naturally goes outside the mobile channel being a mobile.
Kevala-Samudgháta (Omniscient overflow) is the emanation, when in some cases the soul of an omniscient being, (of course a mobile,) expands throughout the whole universe, and then contracts back. This is also a case in which a mobile soul goes outside the mobile channel.
B
Trasa Náḍi (mobile channel) is the channel in the middle of the universe. It is fourteen Rájus high, one Ráju long and one Ráju broad. Mobiles are as a rule born within it alone.
