THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
भोगाऽपूर्णकसम्यक्त्वे कापोतस्य जघन्यकं भवेनियमात् । सम्यक्त्वे वा मिथ्यात्वे वा पर्याप्ते तिस्रः शुभलेश्याः ॥३१॥
531. In the right-believing, potentially developable (human and sub-human beings) of enjoyment (regions), necessarily there is the minimum part of grey. In the developable (humans and sub-humans in the enjoyment regions) in their (condition of) right or wrong belief (there are) three good-thought-paints (yellow, pink and white).
Commentary. The right believing potentially developable soul in enjoyment regions has the minimum grey-thought paint, because dying as a right believer he was bound to be born as a male heavenly being, but before he acquired right belief he may have bound an age-Karma for a lower condition of existence. If this condition was human or sub-human then instead of going to heaven he will have to go to the highest enjoyment-region, where we have the best human and sub-human life. The thought-activity at death time of such a soul will be a little painful, and therefore he has minimum greythought-paint also, although in the enjoyment-regions, there are only the three good thought-paints.

9a gra qgau: y#77at e aratathi ततः शुक्ला लेश्या अयोगिस्थानमलेश्यं तु ॥ ५३२ ॥
532. In the non-control (condition of the soul, i.e., up to the 4th stage of vowless-right-belief, Avirata Samyaktva there are) six thought-paints. In the three, (i.e, 5th, 6th and 7th, stages of) partial vow, (imperfect vow and perfect vow) there are three good thought-paints. From that (the 8th to the 13th stages there is), white thought paint (only). And (there is) no thought-paint in the (14th) stage of nonvibration.
Commentary. Thought-paints are the colours of vibrations coloured with passions. When the vibrations stop, there is no thought-paint.
