[118] The Prajñāpanā Sūtra refers to this same location as 'Upapāta-sthāna'. It is clear that this location is relevant, but it is also essential. Another relevant location is 'Samudghāta' / According to Jainism, the realms of a living being expand in specific contexts such as pain, death, or reaction, which is called 'Samudghāta' in Jain terminology; it is of many types. During Samudghāta, the realms of the living being (ātma-) remain in the body location, but they also extend outwards to some extent until the time of Samudghāta. Therefore, it is also necessary to consider the relevant or possible dwelling place of the living being in relation to Samudghāta. This is why the present verse considers three types of dwelling places for various living beings: sva-sthāna, upapāta-sthāna, and samudghāta-sthāna. The Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama also considers the location-field in the Khettaṇāgama-prakaraṇa, taking into account sva-sthāna, upapāta, and samudghāta. The present 'sthāna-pada' describes the locations and order of the categories of living beings, which indicates that the first verse does not consider many common categories such as the one-sensed, but it does consider common categories such as the five-sensed / The locations of all the specific categories mentioned in the first verse are not considered in the present verse, but the locations of the main categories are considered / The locations of all other categories of living beings are considered in relation to the aforementioned three locations, but only 'sva-sthāna' is considered for the Siddhas / The reason for this is that Siddhas do not have upapāta; because other living beings experience the rise of name, lineage, and lifespan karma before attaining their respective birthplaces, they acquire these names and attain the motion to take a new birth. Siddhas lack karma, so they are not born in the form of Siddhas, but they attain their own nature from the perspective of the 'siddhi' location, which is their sva-sthāna. The motion of liberated beings to the Lokānta-sthāna, according to Jain belief, does not involve touching the Ākāśa-pradeśas, so even though liberated beings move, they do not touch the Ākāśa-pradeśas, so they are not considered to have a 'location' in those pradeśas. From this perspective, Siddhas do not have upapāta-sthāna / Siddhas also do not have samudghāta-sthāna, because samudghāta occurs for beings with karma, and Siddhas are without karma. Therefore, only 'sva-sthāna' is considered for Siddhas. The statement 'One-sensed beings are pervasive throughout the entire universe' does not refer to only one one-sensed being, but to the entire category of one-sensed beings in a general sense. And the three locations should be understood collectively, not separately. Two-sensed, three-sensed, and four-sensed beings are not in the entire universe, but in an innumerable part of the universe.
