This is the sixth *vyutkrantipad* of the *Prajnapana Sutra*. The subject of this *pad* is the *vyutkranti* of various types of beings, i.e., discussing questions related to their origin in different *gatis* and their transition from one *gati* to another. In short, this *pad* examines the movement and counter-movement of beings. This examination is presented in this *pad* through the following *paths* (1) *Dvadash Dvar* (absence of *upapat* and *udvartana*), (2) *Chavishti Dvar* (absence of *upapat* and *udvartana* of the species of beings), (3) *Santara Dvar* (consideration of the *santara* and continuous *upapat* and *udvartana* of the species of beings), (4) *Ekasamaya Dvar* (consideration of how many beings are born and die at the same time), (5) *Kutah Dvar* (description of how beings are born after death in those *paryayas*), (6) *Udvartana Dvar* (consideration of which *bhavas* a being goes to after death from the present *bhavas*), (7) *Parabhavikayushya Dvar* (thinking about when a being binds the lifespan of the upcoming new *bhavas* in the present *bhavas*?), and (8) *Aakarsh Dvar* (6 types of lifespan binding, in how many *aakarsh* does a being bind the lifespan karma specific to its species, etc.? and the consideration of the few and many beings with less and more *aakarsh*). The first *dvar* is named 'Baras' (twelve) because it includes the *upapatavirah* (the beings of hell, animal, human, and god are born in those forms, there is no absence of birth in between) and *udvartana virah* (the beings of hell, animal, human, and god die, there is no absence of death in between) of the beings of the four *gatis* of hell, animal, human, and god, which is the lowest one moment and the highest 12 *muhurtas*. The second *dvar* is named 'Chauvisa' (twenty-four) because from the perspective of the species of the *gatis* of hell, etc., the *upapatavirah* and *udvartana virah* of the first hell is the lowest one (a) *Pannavanasutta* (original text with commentary) Bha. 1, p. 163 (b) *Prajnapana Sutra* M.
