## First Dasha (Chapter)
**With Hindi Commentary**
**6. Tadbhava:** Like humans, after death, humans are reborn. This is called Tadbhava life because of the similarity in species.
**7. Bhoga-Jivan:** The life of great beings like Chakravartis is Bhoga-Jivan (life of enjoyment).
**8. Samyama-Jivan:** The life of virtuous beings is Samyama-Jivan (life of self-control).
**9. Yasho-Jivan:** The life of fame and glory.
**10. Kirti-Jivan:** The life of renown and reputation. For example, the life of Shri Shraman Bhagwan Mahavir Swami.
The existence of all these ten types of lives is dependent on the life of Ayus (life span). In this chapter, the author refers to Samyama-Ayu (life of self-control) and Yasho-Kirti-rupa Ayu (life of fame and glory). However, even these Ayus are dependent on Karma.
This statement also teaches us that we should invite disciples with such gentle invitations, because auspicious invitations make the mind happy. Also, since Ayu is very dear, the listener's soul finds peace from this (blessing-like) invitation. Additionally, it proves that the teachings of the scriptures (Vidya-dan) given to a virtuous person can be completely successful. Just as rain can be beneficial only in a field, not on stones. And by saying "Ayushman", there is a clear indication of long life; because long life can make desires successful.
The meaning of the word "Tenam (Tena)" in the sutra is: The soul whose Mithyatva (false belief) rooted in the beginningless time has been destroyed, who has attained Keval Jnana (perfect knowledge) and Keval Darshan (perfect vision), and whose virtuous power is causing the rise of the Tirthankara lineage, making his Aapta (perfection) world-famous - that Shraman Bhagwan Mahavir has explained this way.
The word "Bhagavata" in the sutra refers to Bhagwan with complete wealth, the form of Ashtamahapraatihaarya (eight great miracles). He has described the nature of the principles with proper methods and detailed explanations.
The meaning of "Shrutam Maya" is that I have heard from the mouth of Bhagwan in the form of meaning, not in the form of sutras. Therefore, the sutras are authentic because they are the translation form of the meaning.
