Sixth Vyutkrantapad } [453 608. And just as the absence of Uppapat (birth) has been explained for the Siddhas, in the same way, the absence of Udvartana (ascension) should also be stated for the devatas (gods) who are not Uttaropapattik (those who do not experience higher births). The special point is that in the description of the Jyotishka (celestial) and Vaimanika (aerial) devatas, the word 'Chyavan' should be used (instead of Udvartana). Discussion - Second Chaturvishti Dvara: The absence of Uppapat and Udvartana for the Nairyika (hellish beings) to the Anuttaroupapattik (those who do not experience higher births) has been described in the 40 sutras (from sutra 566 to 608) presented in the Praroopana (formulation). Various special Naraka (hellish), Tiryanch (animal), Manushya (human) and Deva (divine) beings, devoid of Uppapat and Udvartana, have been described in these sutras. Earth-bodied etc. are always devoid of Uppapat - Earth-bodied etc. beings are born continuously. There is no time when Earth-bodied beings do not experience Uppapat. Therefore, they are said to be devoid of Uppapat. Jyotishka and Vaimanika devatas do not experience Udvartana - The word 'Chyavan' should be used for both these types of devatas. Chyavan means to come down. Jyotishka and Vaimanika are above this earth, therefore, devatas die and come down from above, they do not go up from below. Third Santardvara: Continuous description of the birth and Udvartana of Nairyika to Siddhas - 606. Bhanta! Are Nairyika born Santara (gradually) or Nirantara (continuously)? Gautama! They are born both Santara and Nirantara. [606 Pr.] Bhagavan! Are Nairyika born Santara or Nirantara? [606 U.] Gautama (they) are born both Santara and Nirantara. 610. Bhanta! Are Tiryanch-yoni (animal-born) beings born Santara or Nirantara? Gautama! They are born both Santara and Nirantara. [610 Pr.] Bhagavan! Are Tiryanch-yoni beings born Santara or Nirantara? 1.
