OTEFÁNYT 3TERA [ 568 ]
Verse 107–Mobile beings are of three classes-fire-bodied, air-bodied and gross. The first two are one-sensed beings, as such principally they have been included in five immobile beings. This is because they are born due to fruition of sthavar naam-karma (the immobile body-type determining karma). As they shift from one section to another, fire and air-bodied beings have also been included in the class of mobile beings. This necessiаtated division of immobile beings into gross and minute. In due course fire-bodied and air-bodied beings were called gati-tras (mobile due to movement) and two-sensed beings were called labdhi-tras (mobile due to acquired nature as they acquire the property of movement due to fruition of tras naam-karma or the mobile body-type determining karma). Sthananga Sutra defines these three only as mobile beings (3/2/164). The classification of bodied life has been given in an altogether different way in Acharanga Sutra, the oldest Agam--earth-bodied, fire-bodied, plant-bodied, mobile-bodied and air-bodied.
Verse 169—The minimum intervening period for an infernal being moving out from hell and returning to hell is said to be one Antarmuhurt. This indicates that on leaving hell an infernal being takes rebirth only as a placental animal or human and due to its extremely evil intent, it can get reborn in hell again after completing the minimum life-span of one Antarmuhurt in that genus.
Verse 170—Sammurchha means extreme stupor. A being with extreme stupor is called sammurchhim. In absence of fully developed mind the asexually born animals and humans are always in a state of extreme stupor.
In the term garbha-vyutkrantik, vyutkrantik means origin.
Verse 180-Among terrestrial quadruped animals solid-ungular or single or undivided hoofed animals are like horse. Bi-ungular or split hoofed animals are like cow. Multi-ungular or solid circular footed animals are like elephant and camel and nailed animals with claws and nails are like
lion.
Verse 181—Those moving with the help of limbs (bhuja) are limbed reptilian animals (bhujparisarp) like crocodile and lizard. And those moving with the help of breast (ur) are nonlimbed reptiles (ur-parisarp).
Verse 185—The maximum life of body-type for terrestrial animals is said to be Purva koti prithakatva (20 to 90 million Purvas) more than three Palyopam. This is with regard to the beings with a life-span of Purva koti prithakatva (20 to 90 million Purvas) because those with a life-span of three Palyopam never get reborn as animals; they get reborn only as divine beings. Those with a life-span of Purva koti prithakatva can get reborn as animals of the same life-span but that too only for seven or eight rebirths, not more.
Verse 188—Animals with membranous wings are like bats. Those with feathered wings are like swans. Those with box shaped wings, which are always closed, are like Samudga bird (mythical bird). Those with outspread wings are like Vitat birds (mythical bird).
