## Thirty-sixth Chapter of the Samudghāt Pada [235 have passed / An infinite number of Vedanasamudghāt have passed in the past, compared to one Naraka. For those beings who have spent a short time in the Naraka, as per their deeds, one should understand that a countable or uncountable number of Vedanasamudghāt have passed. Regarding the future Samudghāt of each Naraka, it has been said that some Narakas have future Samudghāt, while others do not / This means that for a being who, after the time of the Prishcha, will leave Naraka without experiencing Vedanasamudghāt, attain human birth, and achieve Siddhi without experiencing Vedanasamudghāt, there is not even one Vedanasamudghāt. For a being who, after this Prishcha time, will remain in Naraka for some time due to the remaining lifespan and then attain human birth and achieve Siddhi, one, two, or three Vedanasamudghāt are possible. For a Naraka who remains in the world for a countable period, there are countable Vedanasamudghāt, for one who remains for an uncountable period, there are uncountable Vedanasamudghāt, and for one who remains for an infinite period, there are infinite future Samudghāt. Similar to Narakas, the Bhavanapatis like Asurakumara, the Ekaindriya beings like Prithvikaayika, the Vikalendriya beings, the Panchendriya Tiryancha, humans, Vaanavyantara, Jyotishka, and Vaimanika, have also experienced an infinite number of Vedanasamudghāt in the past, and some have future Vedanasamudghāt, while others do not. For those who have them, they are either minor, one, two, or three, or major, countable, uncountable, or infinite.'] [1-3-4-5] One should understand the statements related to Kshaya, Maaranantika, Vaikriya, and Tejas-Samudghāt, in the order of twenty-four Dandakas. (6) Regarding the question of past Aahaarak-Samudghāt of each Naraka, it has been said that some have Aahaarak-Samudghāt, while others do not. For a Naraka who has experienced past Aahaarak-Samudghāt, there are either minor, one or two, or major, three / A Naraka who has previously attained human birth and, due to the lack of suitable materials, has not studied the fourteen Purvas, or even if he has studied the fourteen Purvas, has not created an Aahaarak-Sharira due to the lack of Aahaarak-Kalabdhi or due to the absence of any specific purpose, does not have past Aahaarak-Samudghāt / A Naraka different from this type has minor, one or two, and major, three Aahaarak-Samudghāt / There cannot be four, because a being who has created an Aahaarak-Sharira four times cannot go to Naraka. Future Aahaarak-Samudghāt also occur for some, while others do not. For those who have them, there are minor, one, two, or three, and major, four. A Naraka who attains human birth and, due to the lack of suitable materials, does not study the fourteen Purvas, or even if he studies them, does not experience Aahaarak-Samudghāt and achieves Siddhi, does not have future Aahaarak-Samudghāt.
