## Fourteen Gunasthana
There are two divisions of each and ordinary: each is a *badar* and the ordinary has two divisions: subtle and *badar*. Those with two, three, four, and five senses are called *Trasajiva*; they are of four types. Among the five-sensed beings, there are two divisions: 1. *Sanjni* and 2. *Asanjni*. Those who understand or know education, teachings, conversation, etc. are called *Sanjni*, and those who do not have mind or breath are called *Asanjni* five-sensed. Touch, tongue, nose, eye, and ear; these are the five senses. Touch, taste, flavor, smell, form, and sound are their respective five objects. There are many types of two-sensed beings like worms, conch shells, cowries, scallops, leeches, etc. Ants, bedbugs, *j*, *mankoda*, etc. are three-sensed beings. Locusts, moths, flies, mosquitoes, bees, scorpions, etc. are four-sensed beings. The rest of the *tiryach-yoni*, including aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial, hellish, human, and divine, are all five-sensed beings.
Mind, speech, and body-form are three forces, five senses, lifespan, and inhalation-exhalation are called ten *pranas*. One-sensed beings have four *pranas*: body, lifespan, inhalation-exhalation, and sense. Two-sensed have six, three-sensed have seven, four-sensed have eight, *Asanjni* five-sensed have nine, and *Sanjni* five-sensed have ten *pranas*. Among the five-sensed, gods and hellish beings are born from *upapat* birth, while humans and *tiryach* are mostly born from the womb, and among *tiryach*, there are viviparous, ovoviviparous, and oviparous (born from eggs). All these are *Sanjni* five-sensed, and the rest, born from *samurchhim*, are called *Asanjni* five-sensed. *Samurchhim* beings and sinful beings of hell are eunuchs. There are three *vedas*: female *veda*, male *veda*, and eunuch *veda*. Among gods, there are two *vedas*: female *veda* and male *veda*. Humans and *tiryach* have three *vedas*. All beings have two divisions: *vyavahar-rashi* and *avyavahar-rashi*. Subtle *nigod* beings are considered to be in *avyavahar-rashi*, and the rest of all beings are called *vyavahar-rashi*. Conscious, unconscious, mixed, closed, open, and mixed, cold, hot, and lukewarm, thus there are nine types of *yoni* of beings. That is, places of origin. Earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, and air-bodied, each of the seven beings has seven hundred thousand *yoni*. Each plant-bodied has one million, and ordinary plant-bodied, infinite-bodied, has fourteen hundred thousand, two, three, and four-sensed, each has two hundred thousand, hellish, *tiryach*, and divine, each has four hundred thousand, and human has fourteen hundred thousand *yoni*. In total, eighty-four million *jiva-yoni* have been mentioned by the omniscient ones. One-sensed beings are 1. subtle and 2. *badar*, five-sensed - 3. *Sanjni* and 4. *Asanjni*, 5. two, 6. three, and 7. four-sensed beings, these seven are sufficient and insufficient. Thus, Jinendradev has described fourteen places of beings.
On these fourteen places (brief divisions) of beings, the omniscient ones have also described fourteen *marganadwaras*. The fourteen *marganas* are as follows: 1. motion, 2. sense, 3. body, 4. yoga, 5. *veda*, 6. knowledge, 7. *kṣayā*, 8. restraint, 9. diet, 10. vision, 11. *leśyā*, 12. *bhavyatva*, 13. *samyaktva*, and 14. *sanjni*. Now, these are called fourteen *gunasthana* of beings. Fourteen *gunasthana* of beings:
1. *Mithyatva*, 2. *Sasvadan*, 3. *Samyaktva-Mithyatva* (mixed), 4. *Avirati Samyagdristi*, 5. *Deshaviriti* (Shravak), 6. *Pramattasanyata*, 7. *Aparamattasanyata*, 8. *Nivrittibadar*, 9. *Anivrittibadar*, 10. *Sukshmasampray*, 11. *Upashantamooh*, 12. *Kshinamooh*, 13. *Sayogi Kevali*, and 14. *Ayogi Kevali*; these are the fourteen *gunasthana*.
(1) Until the rise of *mithyadarshan*, it is called *mithyadristi* *gunasthana*, (2) When *mithyatva* does not arise, but the quartet of infinite-connected *kṣayā* (anger, pride, deceit, and greed) arises, then the *gunasthana* that stays up to the excellent six *avalika* is called *sasvadan-gunasthana*. (3) The combination of both *samyaktva* and *mithyatva* is called the third (mixed) *gunasthana*; which lasts for a moment. (4) When the quartet of *apratyakhyanavaran* arises, there is *avirati samyagdristi*. (5) When the *kṣayā* of *pratyakhyanavaran* arises, there is *deshaviriti* (Shravak) *gunasthana*. (6) After attaining restraint, if one indulges in carelessness, then his *gunasthana* is called *pramattasanyata*. (7) The restrained one who does not indulge in carelessness, his *gunasthana* is called *apramattasanyata*. The sixth and seventh, both these *gunasthana* are for a moment, respectively.
